ABOUT ME

As a wife, mother, nanna and friend to many. My life is full of adventure and challenges, planned and designed for me, by me and assisting others along the way doing the best I can.
Remember: The biggest obstacle standing between you and anything you want, is your lack of belief that you can have it. Once you truly believe it is possible, once you can see yourself doing it or being it or having it, the rest is just details. With belief, plus the commitment to follow through and do whatever it takes, anything can be yours.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiest When
Being myself, and thats by doing what I do best. Taking challenges and obstacles in life and making them into opportunities that support and help me grow as a person. I can tell you this: Try as you might, you cannot make yourself happy with what you do not have. When you wait for happiness or make it conditional, it never does materialize. Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you. Happiness is what you are, not what you have. It depends solely upon your own attitude. You can be happy no matter what your circumstances might be. You can never get happy. You can always be happy. Lift your own self-imposed restrictions on happiness. Count your many blessings, and be happy. Spread your own happiness and it will grow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
Wide variety, whatever takes my mood. Both old and new, up beat and easy listening. Open to anything that others may find enjoyable. I need to be able to hear and understand lyrics, if there are any LOL. Having three adut daughters, I got through their teen years without to much conflict of interest in music LOL So try me!!

Films
Action, Romance, comedy, drama, nature, history. Or a mixture. I will watch the occasional thiller, so long as I have someone to cuddle up to or hold my hand and horrors, well sorry, no joy to having me stay, I will choose to leave the room and read a book or write a journal blog anytime instead of a horror LOL

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not a follower of sports. Prefer getting out into the outdoors myself and being active, healthy and enjoying natures own.
Facing fear and doing it anyway. There use to be many fears that held me back within my comfort zone while raising a family. Until 4 years back when I broke free and stared fear in the face of reality,to be overcoming fear of heights ~ now skydiving, or abseiling 27mtrs. Caustrophobic and now takingflights in helicopters and small planes, caving and rock climbing. Fears of fast flowing water ~ to now go white water rafting grade 3 and 4, and lastly deep water ~ tested in December 2008 when I jumped from a rockface 14ft beside a waterfall into a deep pool, he,he (included in rafting adventures here). These small successes allow me to acccept who I am, gain the freedom, growth and wisdom required to be myself and I will continue to seek adventure and challenges in lifes journey ahead

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't just generalize about what you wish to achieve. Don't just have a vague idea about where you would like to go.
Tell yourself exactly what you expect of yourself. Make your goals vivid, clear and precise.

Whether you are traveling around the block or across the ocean, your destination is always a single, specific point. The only way you can reach that point is by clearly and unambiguously defining where it is.

The same is true for every destination you seek to reach, whether it is a place, a person, an object or a set of conditions. When the goal is clear and specific, filled in your mind with all the color, the texture, the sounds and the feelings, you'll surely be able to work your way there.

Success is largely a matter of deciding upon every little detail of what you wish to achieve. For each detail you envision provides you with an additional pathway to your goal.

Know what you seek, and know it with richness and precision. For that's exactly what you'll achieve.
