Trust the Process




These guys... my heart!

Hubby usually feeds the animals in the mornings, but the other day he had to rush off to get to work a little earlier than normal... Leaving me to feed them instead. And so I went about my morning routine as per usual, intending to feed the muttleys as my last little chore before I left for work that morning.

Except that they didn't know that.

And my usually boisterous, barky, happy doggies were most unusually quiet and subdued. I could tell that they didn't quite know what to do with themselves. 

Grant has left for the day without feeding us! Oh no!  

I could see the little doggie-brain cogs whirring away behind their eyes - I could see that they weren't quite sure what the heck was going on, and that they were starting to worry about whether or not they were going to get any food at all.

So, meanie that I am, carried on with what I was doing as if nothing was amiss... Because nothing was amiss! I had a plan in mind - and everything was totally under control.
(But I still had a little giggle to myself whilst watching them fret, haha)

And I realised that this is probably what Life (the Universe, God, the Force, <insert favourite label here>) does whenever I  have any doubts in my mind. I may be worrying about something or other - wondering if this thing will pan out the way I hope it will, imagining how I can micromanage any of my options - meanwhile Life is sitting "out there" somewhere... just watching me stress over nothing... having a little giggle at my expense.

'Cos Life knows that everything always works out for the best, and it usually does.

And so remember this, friends:
Life is awesome. Trust the process.
You will be fed in time!
It may just be from a different hand today, than what it was yesterday.

A New Beginning

Today was a pretty special day for me. Today I (almost) got to meet Bea Johnson of " Zero Waste Home " fame. I say "almost", because while I was in the same room as her, being thoroughly entranced by her Zero Waste presentation... I didn't actually get a chance to shake the woman's hand & tell her personally what an inspiration she is to me. Boo. But she got her message across + her enthusiasm spilled over + I'm feeling so inspired to get serious  about this zero waste concept - or at least a "heckuva lot less waste" for now - and implement some real changes in the lives of hubby + I. We are already pretty conscientious about our spending,and we recycle a lot of our packaging. We haven't gotten around to setting up the compost heap yet, but I'm totally blaming that on me being squeamish about worms... I'm dealing with it lol! But as good as recycling is, it's not the answer. It still utilises so much of our precious...

Choose Your Words

This morning I received some invaluable advice. I was chatting to a friend about my "to do" list (we all have one of those, right?) and I was prattling on about how "I just need to do this thing", when she said: "H ow about you re-frame your words to 'I would really love to do this thing'?" A nd in that moment my light bulb went on & I was like "OMG! Of course!" I am a huge fan of Louis Hay's work, and she teaches "The thoughts we think & the words we speak are constantly shaping our world & our experiences." ¹; in particular that "what you put your attention on grows" ² - that "the more you dwell on what you don't want, the more of it you create" ². As in, thinking "I don't want to be fat" - you stay overweight. Telling yourself "I don't want to be broke" - you stay penniless. I' ve read/heard somewhere along the way that the mind doesn't recognise th...
