The Adventure of Living and Learning

Communication.  One of the most valuable skills in life, something to be valued; obtained; developed and constantly used.   I find it facinating, that a very large percentage  of what is communicated is non verbal. All our senses are involved. What we see in body language of another, or what they see in our body language; tone of voice; silences; what we look like; how present we are in a conversation; focus and listening is a huge one and so is the emotional output and response to each other and I'm sure so much more   Transmitting, one being to another. How aware we should be of what we are communicating! Not out of fear, but rather, I think, out of awareness of the content and it being positive, uplifting, productive and the like. We have an inbuilt ability to filter this information, hone the skill of listening to our inner self, as well as the unspoken words of the other person. Listening and really hearing. Just like learn...

Troutbeck Nyanga,Zimbabwe I find there are moments in life when we are presented with a new direction, exciting and filled with great opportunities. It stirs the heart and demands a response. It evokes excitement, nervousness, maybe even re-ignites the child in us, who wants to rush in head first. Drop what you are doing and spontaneously follow your heart... yes/no? What do we do? In most cases, rightly we weigh it up, look at the opportunity, the practicalities and financial implication, the impact on family and work etc. Making the informed decision, planned and well executed, this we are taught results in success. Yes, in most cases this is very true and is definitely the route to take. However, there are times when taking our courage by the throat and just do it,let life open door never thought possible. A step of faith into a God given opportunity. My young couple packed up bought a car and caravan and set off to experience work and travel round Australia, you go guys;...

We know it and yet so easily we forget how great a good laugh is... a belly laugh.. on that can make you gasp for breath in the best possible way and with the best results. Yip endorphins for free and in abundance... feel good stuff. That can only be good for us and something we should seek out. Daily essentials food, work, sleep, exersize and laughter ... My youngest daughter can make me laugh at the drop of a hat and it is a joy to watch something stupid together and laugh til we cry.. something quite "arb" will set her off and out pours the joy ... thanks for this darling, it is a real gift for sharing. Watch this little one  and see how adults are quite free to be happy stupid to make a child laugh, why? Just for the joy of hearing the pure and beautiful laugh that makes us respond likewise.  Yes please I want more of that :) and you ???

Yes back to the online stuff.  I have made contacts and started building relationships with the group of Internet Marketers. Slow and steady wins the race without a doubt.   It is vital to build a list of subscribers and it has required and will still require much reading, understanding and as Janet says "take action". Lead capture pages, advertising,... send traffic to this important page . Whilst I feel slow and experience some frustration in not understanding the IT side, it is exciting to be on the student side of learning again and each step forward is an achievement and forward motion to my goals. I remember being taught regarding prayer there are two sorts of prayer answers 1. rockets... they arrive BANG there the answer is. 2.Tortoises... they set out bring your answer but you must wait.  If you give up you sent the tortoise      back!!  you pray again and it sets out again... I was horrified at the concept of losing God...

..... or in this case Linda a dull girl. What do you love? What unwinds you, makes you smile, restores your soul? For me one of the most restorative things is being soaked in the beauty of nature. So here area few pictures of beauty through my eyes. Flower pictures make my girls laugh "Ma you and your flower pics..." this is a picture taken on the beach from in Napier New Zealand land of great beauty :) this is commonly knows as the Christmas Tree I believe. Rotarua Thermal area .. overcome the smell an be prepared to be amazed.. A touch of beautiful Capetown... So take time to soak in beauty and remember with me, that we are part of God beauty .

Is there a real opportunity to work and earn online I ask myself? How does one begin looking and for what? So I did what all good seekers do, I went to Google and clicked all over the show and began reading..... This was not a bad thing, but as in life its not the idea that is bad but what we do with it. I clicked on all sorts of things and without realising it I got onto ' a million and one '  listsmwithout understanding what that meant. This deluge of emails arrived and kept coming !! what to follow ... what not to... what is real what is hype.... which program would deliver?.... Where were the promised teaching videos?... WHAT SHOULD I ACTUALLY DO!!!... This was the somewhat overwhelming beginning until.....
