A recent spate of issues have been overcome and things are on the up! I have regained full control over weight management, and after a lifetime of struggle I don't expect to lose it again. The oven has been repaired, Shadow the Cat has recovered from her virus and a new bedroom TV paid for by the Weekend Job annual bonus has freed up a TV for use as a computer monitor. I'm busy with clients and even made an early start on the garden, the first time I've ever done so in March.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
All of this makes me PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL and with no complaints whatsoever. I'm that much more empowered to make the best possible difference with this temporary life experience.

When you were last "on a roll" what were the factors that came together to make it happen?

8. TRIVIA
Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back.
9. ZEN WISDOM
Our voice resonates with life. Because this is so, it can touch the lives of others. The caring and compassion imbued in your voice finds passage to the listener’s soul, striking his or her heart and causing it to sing out. The human voice summons something profound from deep within, and can even compel a person into action.
