Yes, I am one day behind and it’s always better late than never. Blogger Appreciation Day [Unofficial] began with Darren Rowse from Problogger and as I received some love from Derek Semmler at Derek Semmler Dot Com (thank you for reminding me Derek) I wanted to join in and give my own bit of link love away to my readers who have commented on Buzzing with Ange (not original I know), and also to some random peeps I come across on a daily basis online on one social network or another. I would like to acknowledge you as without you, the conversation wouldn’t go on, and please know that I do appreciate your thoughts and support recently regarding my Dad who will be home in a day or two! He is doing extraordinarily well.

Like Darren, I also receive from time to time, emails and messages from people who have appreciated something I have said or written about and I have to tell you that I feel very blessed to have this opportunity of meeting and sharing with you online and I do enjoy our dialogue so keep them coming!

Now to a list of bloggers who all have something to contribute in their own way so if you haven’t already visited them, please make a point to check out their wonderful sites.

Thank you for making my experience online a positive one.

I have been away with my family this past week in Perth, Western Australia and not due to return home until Sunday. I managed to slip away for a while to see what was going on online and time has slipped right by me. So here is a quickie post to let you know that I haven’t slipped into oblivion.

Being away with little ones means that you have to get into their world a little and find something magical for them at times so it was timely to come across this wonderful mime Fairy (pictured above) who sprinkled them with fairy dust Those are my girls to the right of the Fairy.

Do you remember as a child whether or not you could see Fairies? I had a conversation with a friend of mine once who told me that very young children often seem to be looking at something we as adults cannot see. He described them to be like firefly’s and that children would follow them with their eyes. I know this may seem a little outrageous to some, but let me know if you have ever noticed this with your kids. I am leaving my mind open as I don’t like to discount things and would love to hear your opinions on whether or not you believe it to be true or not.

Blessings come in many forms and when you are blessed, it is appropriate to celebrate as they are gifts to you. When you choose to be open and receive blessings, your perspective of life is changed for the better. When you are in alignment with what the Universe is bringing you, you will be pleasantly surprised at what shows up.


Law of Attraction

Last night I was involved in a group conversation and the Law of Attraction was one of the topics of course. I will share a story with you.

Amber was tired of driving around in her bomb of a car and really wanted a 4WD. A mutual friend told her to just imagine that when she was driving around to feel like what it would be like to be in a 4WD and believe that her car was actually a 4WD… not any particular model, just a 4WD. So every time she would jump into her shitty little car, she would sit with her head held high and it felt great.

About three months later, her parents told her that they didn’t want her driving around in an unreliable car so they gave her $30,000 to go and buy herself a new car and off she went to buy her 4WD. She didn’t have to save for it or even know how it would be possible, just believing and feeling what it would be like brought the car to her.

So today, I want to share this short movie with you. This movie has touched many people over and over again and I just couldn’t put it any better than to just show you.

The May You Be Blessed site is wanting to reach 1 billion people with this movie by October 18th 2008, so go and watch it and pay it forward to all your friends. It will make your day.

Count Your Blessings

Do you notice when you are in a conversation if you are really listening and present to what the other person is saying?  I mean are you actually putting yourself in their shoes and understanding where they are coming from?  It’s a funny thing conversing with others.  We tend to only hear what we want to hear most of the time and already have an idea in our heads about what we want it to mean before it has even been explained to us.

I was in a workshop a little while back where we had to partner up and each of us had to talk for 5 minutes without the other person saying a word.  The person who was doing the listening could not say anything for that whole 5 minutes.  Try it and see how hard it is to do.  Not just the listening, but the talking too.  The idea was for the listener to be present in the conversation and really get what their partner was talking about.

It’s easy to get distracted to with the busy lives we live today.  There are always a million things to worry about.  Trivial things mostly that stop us from really connecting with one another.  Next time you are in a conversation with someone, stop and think, “am I present in this conversation” and if you are not, you will soon learn to be.

Yours in Prosperity!
