2012 HERE WE GO!
2012 is upon us! Festive season seems to have whizzed past, as time tends to do these days. I try and read something
inspirational daily, preferably early in the morning before my day starts. Don't always get that part right, but hey, I'm only human
after all :) - Robin Sharma, Wayne Dyer, A Course in Miracles are some of the books I dip into. I find that reading something inspirational
every day, even if it is just one quote, really helps to keep my spirits uplifted and myself motivated. I also have a journal where
I make a note of random questions and thoughts that surface as I read. This morning, in Wayne Dyer's book "Change Your Thoughts-Change
Your Life, Living the Wisdom of the Tao" he talks about "allowing" instead of "wanting". Now I already know that when you constantly
"want" something (money, to be slim, success etc) you just get more of......wanting!!! This chapter of the book ties up perfectly
with the New Year channelling I listened to on the 31st December, by Angela Deutschmann www.angeladeutschmann.com at the beautiful
Boondocks Mountain Lodge & Labyrinth near Barberton, www.boondocks.co.za which was all about what we give ourselves permission
for now shows up in our future! Serious!!!! So, if I give myself "permission" to not exercise, eat badly, procrastinate, fear success......you
fill in the rest, guess what is going to show up in my future? You got it doll, more of the same!!!!! What a flipping eye-opening
shocker that was. My good friend, (brilliant life coach Mel www.newleafcoaching.co.za and I just stared at each other as the
pennies dropped simultaneously!
See there is this thing that happens when you "get it". We can know on an intellectual level all these
truths. But until the body "gets it" these just stay in the mind. It is not just about changing the mindset, it is about changing the
vibration of our body! There is literally an internal "click" and suddenly things start changing in our world. We can say affirmations
until the cows come home, but until such time as the body "feels" them, they have little effect.
So, here's a question for you - what
are you going to "allow" in your life? More money, better health, loving relationships? If you allow rather than want, surrendering
to that allowing, then don't be surprised when the miracles start happening! Maybe take some time to think about what you are giving
permission for in your life now.
You see doll, it really is that simple, we have the power within us to change our life. So stop waiting
and start creating! Don't let the future gobble up all your attention (also from the channelling, love that). So often we come into
a new year with major expectations of what it is going to bring, forgetting that we have to actually make a start ourselves. That
we have to BE the change we want to see in the world. And the change starts right here, right now.
BTW if you are wondering
about all the web addresses in my blog, I really want to share with others the amazing and inspirational people and places that have
touched my life in magical ways. Paying it forward!
'Til next time, stay blessed. Be excited for all that is at your fingertips......

We all know and love Di, the original founder and nurturer for many years, of the Circle of Light. Di started the COL in September 2002 at a time when "alternative" interests and holistic living were not part of the mainstream in the Lowveld. After initial concerns about being run out of town, Di forged ahead and organised many holistic fairs,workshops and COL breakfasts; she established a far-reaching directory of therapists and services, and launched the Circle of Light Link-Up magazine. Through Di's efforts the COL mailing list now exceeds 500 and extends to Maputo, Swaziland, Middelburg and other areas north and south of the Lowveld. As well as all this Di is an accredited Reiki Master who teaches regular Reiki 1 and 2 classes. Her passion is empowering people, particularly women and the youth, and she developed a one day empowerment workshop The Power Within, which has been run in the rural communities as well as for the Government and corporate business. She developed a Youth Leadership Course for learners in rural schools and is a motivational speaker.
