  • Broadening Your Horizons

    I have mentioned before that the universe tends to beat me over the head with a message, rather than being subtle (it’s the only way to ensure I understand, otherwise I just nod and smile!) Over the past few days, I’ve been beaten over the head with the idea of thinking bigger – I got…

  • Do Something Amazing Today – Challenge Chain

    So, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you will know that every four months or so, I give blood. Yesterday I took an hour out of my day to go and lie down, have a drink of squash and a biscuit…oh, and leave behind a pint of O negative! I did something…

  • Where Have You Hitched Your Wagon?

    ”Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.” President Obama. I received this quote this morning from Chris Dines Daily Notes, and I have…

  • Video: When You Are Not Being Your Best Self

    Your best self is that part of you that is joyful, fun, laid back, generous, loving, happy, cheerful, peaceful. When we feel bad, it is usually because we are not being our best self. It is not what is done to us that makes us feel bad, but what we are being in reaction to…

  • Writing and The Work

    A note from Donna I was telling a friend about this insight a couple of weeks ago, and she suggested that it would make an interesting article. This is based on ‘The Work’, a four-step process used by Byron Katie (see recommendation) – the premise is that you explore a stressful thought through these four…

  • The Off Switch

    Because of the environmental impact of our energy usage, the ‘off switch’ has got a lot of publicity. Basically, if you’re not using it, switch it off – why use energy to power a standby button? What about your personal off switch? Are you in the habit of using it, or are you always ready…

  • Put a Happy Face On It

    I met up with a friend last night, and I was telling her the ‘woe is me’ tale of my life, when I realised that actually things weren’t that bad, and I was just whining about reality not conforming to my view of what is ‘right’ (it does that a lot!). The main ‘problem’ of…

  • Video: Miracles Surround You

  • Don’t Judge a Book By Its Cover

    If you haven’t already, check out Susan Boyle’s appearance on Britain’s Got Talent – I’ve received a link to this from 4 different sources so far today…and I watched it twice, cos I LOVE a surprise like this one. You Tube Video of a Surprising Performance! Love Donna.x

  • Video: Rushing the River

    Life will happen in its own sweet time (divine timing), so why waste energy rushing the river. You can absolutely get into the fastest flowing current (the fun, joyful, high energy place), but when we try to push and force, it actually holds us back. Lie back in your inflatable dinghy and enjoy the ride.…
