Insights and Wisdom from 2015
Every year has its own flavour. Some years are as if you
have accidentally eaten a whole chilli whereas other years have a sense of an
ornate desert. This year has the flavour of a healthy smoothy with spinach, avocado
and raspberry written all over it for me. It has been a year of plodding and
slow and healthy insight. With this in mind here are five insights which may
well inspire you or touch a chord within you.
·
There are amazing people out there. I often
forget how amazing some people are and how humble they are with it. It is easy
to be distracted by the endless idiots and aggressive types fixated on doing stupid
things. Yet behind the scenes the amazing people, who are full of passion for
creativity and their works/arts, simply contribute their brilliance to the
world. Some gain recognition yet many others contribute in a small way and expect
nothing. The point is there are amazing people who want to help others. I have
attracted numerous editors, producers and great friends this year who have all
demonstrated phenomenal talents and the fact they are great people. It gives me
a sense of hope for humanity because if I shifted my focus to the idiots I have
observed then I would wonder about the point of existence– especially with the
likes of the chap that got his penis jammed in a diet coke bottle. Really!
·
Trust is a major thing for me: trust in life and
trust in people. In my life I have met so many liars, con artists and those who
misconstrue the truth to take advantage of people. Yet, back to the point
above, there are genuine people out there who can be trusted and will openly
demonstrate their trust. I always viewed them as vulnerable, yet that
vulnerability is actually openness. They have dropped their defensive Armor to
fully engage in life no matter what. Those
wonderful people have helped me develop my own trust in them, in my life and in
my self. The more I trust in the process of life, the more the process astounds
me and reveals new avenues that I would never have expected. You begin to
realise that life has a process of unfolding that you will never be in control
of and that unfolding has to run in a certain sequence. By trusting it you
allow it. When you do not trust it – it is as if you get in the way of you.
·
Nutrition and how you effective you are
according to the food in your system, has been a massive learning. It was
simple – increase water, take flax oil, eat blended veg in smoothies and get
rid of sugar and coffee. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well when you have a
migraine for a week when you don’t have coffee and another for two weeks when
you stop the sugar then that is when you realise how sugar and coffee have saturated
your system. The big learning this year is that when I shifted my nutrition to
fresh veg, clean protein and no sugar my whole attitude shifted. I felt happy, I
felt everything was possible and stopped getting colds. I had the energy to
work full time, write books, work on the audio books and reach my ultimate
fitness. Nutrition is now paramount for me and this year I will refine further
to find a way to be energised and relaxed.
·
Intuition has upped her game. How many times
have you ignored that little voice or that weird feeling in your gut to find
out later on that it was right? Well this year I allowed myself to listen to my
intuition and so far it has been spot on. It has resulted in meeting the right
people and knowing when to leave the wrong people to it. Intuition is something
that our rapid-paced culture overlooks but the point is intuition works faster
than the conscious mind and figures things out at a greater rate. So why would
we ignore it? Intuition is something I now embrace because it is a fundamental
part of us and it strangely enables us to ‘know’ what to do without endlessly
thinking. Intuition saves me time and energy.
·
Love has been a fascinating insight this year. A
lot of my external world, like most people, has always been validated by
approval in the form of praise, results, relationships and rewards. Many have the
inner dialogue that does this ‘I will only be good enough when I am… or when I
have… or when I have achieved…’ Yet when you shift into your own internal world
and ask yourself why do you need someone to love you – then the answer comes
back because you aren’t loving yourself enough. I learned that expecting others
to love you is hypocritical if you are not demonstrating love to yourself.
It might sound vain or wafty but loving your
self can be demonstrated to your self by doing the simplest of things like
nurturing the self, looking after the self and allowing yourself time to be
with yourself. Back to this high-paced, high pressured world that want us to appear
as though everything is okay… Well all the ‘doing’ is pointless if it means
that you ‘break’ your self. All the chasing
of ideals is pointless because they are in the future. We only actually exist
in the now and loving yourself now – ‘no matter what’ is liberating. Try saying
this to yourself and see what happens ‘I love my self no matter what…’ That is
a true declaration of self love because we often will only allow ourselves to
love ourselves when we have achieved something or received approval for
something. These small insights have resulted in a wonderful, yet quite gentle
year. I hope by sharing these that you too may have some insights to share. If
so then please comment below.

Come on admit it - as much as we deny it - we ladies like a good love hunt.
We have tick lists, ideals, and we hunt in high-heeled packs. Of course, we're all hunting for that elusive right man who ticks every box and even has tidy nostril hair. Okay maybe not you, but you know other ladies who love the hunt.
Well, it's time for Eva and Gracie to love hunt, and their "targets" are rich men - the golden sperm. Such exciting escapades would provide the pair with entertaining discussions during their dull office hours - or so they thought. What they did not anticipate was the discovery of the "booby man"; humorous but very hard truths about wealth, themselves, power; and the RichIdiot.com phenomenon.
The question remains: can love really be hunted?
The Love Hunt has returned. Gracie is back on the dating horse after a huge fall in her first tick-list-tastic love hunt.
Her new dating adventures take her and Eva into the depths of "the love game".
In the meantime, Eva, the ultimate Russian gold digger, has come to the conclusion that her poor "village idiot boyfriend" will never be enough. He will certainly not pay off her accumulating debts. She needs a rich man, and that means rich idiot dating.
In The Love Game, Eva and Gracie travel the journey of extreme love learning. On the way, they will discover their love and lust lists, their intrinsic issues, and experience some hilarious and jaw-dropping dates in pursuit of the wealthy ideal.
All of this in the pursuit of love.
The Love Hunt II is on!
