2. TODAY IN MY LIFE
Blogging and me time in the morning. A brief missus time before shift 2 of the Weekend Job. Football on TV in the later evening.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Despite the fact that I had a lie-in opportunity, my body-clock woke me at 05:15. I wasn't sorry as it affords abundant time to myself. Settled comfortably in the Consulting Room's recliner, my mind is deliciously calm. I am most grateful indeed to generally feel exactly how I want to - loved and at peace. I am apart from the Weekend Job in control of who enters my personal space and on what terms. Hostility and selfish agendas are robustly dealt with - I have no scruples in unleashing the full power of my Dark Side if necessary.

When my 2013 business venture takes off, I will be able to shed the Weekend Job and control over my personal space will be total! The time and energy liberated will enable me to make even more difference.
