Here's the thing... "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
When you're 'in the flow'... When you 'feel' calm, at peace and even curious, that, is when you are in contentment. It's a space that reaches out in so many different directions, open and flowing like a river, free to change direction and free to feel that space 'in between worlds' of...happiness It is in stone, in wood, in soul, in flower, as natural as a bird and as free as flight. If you find yourself in this place, do you find you guard it fiercely, to stay within?
Why would you feel the need to guard it?
Is there a fear of 'if I step out into the real world' will you be able to recover it, sort of feeling?
Maybe there's no need to step out of it... Maybe you can stay in this perfect place, even with challenges from the outside world. That if you stay here, you'd be so perfectly aligned to shrug off any drama that happened, cos you'd know and recognise it for what it is. This is such a great place to be... Smooth as a sea stone, rounded to bounce anything away, as the breeze touches, it flows over and around. It's like being the water, in the river that moves and flows around the rocks, gently moving forward without angst, without 'what if's', just being in the flowing water and moving with it...
Since time imemorial, nothing is stranger Everything is how it should be for everyone to flow around, to grow, to learn from, to take a little happiness from in the moments that we feel inner happiness. That's what happens, when you're in the flow, in balance, in harmony, spirit, in life - Nothing can touch you, it just is... Can you 'trust' and allow that, the universe has your back? To hand it over and settle here in peace, awaiting the next steps with anticipation and eagerness of the joy's of life, and all the positive stillness in between, if you can, it will bring you to happiness Be grateful...shining, and joyful in your 'being'

You may think?
How do I do that?
Just go to top left web address in your browser, right click on it, so it changes blue, left click 'copy', then go to your Facebook page or other social media, and in your status where it says what's on your mind - click with left button, then write what YOU want, then click right button and press 'paste' - my link to this blog will then come up under your post with a clickable link to this post.
Yes I know I could give you a link but, this way, you'll know how to do it with anything!
Do you know how much 'Mind set' has to do with your life and business?
Oh believe me, it's huge and especially with us women!
Cos we are so amazing at running ourselves down! we spend most of our lives moving mountains and doing the impossible , and then, we don't even take any credit for it?
Or we're in the 'mind set' of, 'oh I'll do it all myself since they cannot be bothered?
No...just no! stop that now!
I want you to step back, that's right take a step back, and look at what you are filling your life with?
Do you love what you do? Cos if you don't, you need to seriously change it, and if you don't know how, then listen to your own feelings...
What makes you 'feel' good?
What makes you lose all track of time?
What makes you happy?
Well, go and do more of that!
Mind set is a funny one, because we all know what we 'shouldn't' be saying to ourselves, but we get stuck in it sometimes, why is it difficult to change our negative thoughts?
It gets into a habit, and the more we go into the spiral, we just can't figure out 'how' to move it. You have to make a conscious decision to change those negative words, and replace them with positive ones.
In business? are you a creative? Do you feel you have so much to give out there, but are finding it so difficult? You need to 'step up' to your own worth and the only way that is going to happen is, to appreciate first, and find that 'soul' biz owner, who you truly are.
Sometimes, we sabotage ourselves, reasons, actions or happenings that make you feel like your banging your head against a brick wall, or blocks - so many tests will rear up until they are resolved.
Lets look at your beliefs, do you stay true to them?
Do you say I am worth this much
Then find yourself saying 'Oh well I suppose I could do it for less?' Note: this is different to allowing so many concessions, but, you still need to keep those boundaries in place, and firmly.
Whenever we 'step up' we will produce a test, to see if we'll say 'NO' definitely not. It's more to do with your own self, and when you clear out all the negativity, you then need to replace it with your new positive statements, feelings, and actually 'believe' in yourself.
This is not 'ego' this is I AM...........................................(fill in the blanks)
And if you're not feeling it, NOW in this present moment, then you need to get to work with forgiving anything or anyone, mentally to release that block that will hold you back!

Yes I know I could give you a link but, this way, you'll know how to do it with anything?
You're welcome, Cos I believe it's all about 'enabling you'
No-one’s skips this equation, because
that’s life.We all have families,
friends, work, health, home, possibly kids, grandkids, extended family, all the
relationships with all of these, and then there’s grief, and a multitude of anxieties
about so many different ‘threads’ from these!
Considering that, it’s a wonder that we can
get through life at all! I’m feeling dizzy just thinking about it!
The fact is, we are, only human, we’re not
perfect, and cannot be ‘The perfect………….’
Enter your own word lol!
I’m no different, cos I’m human too, I’m
experienced in guiding you through, whatever, but, when it comes to myself,
like you, I cannot see a bigger picture sometimes!That’s cos I’m embroiled in my own stuff!
What I’m trying to say is, it’s okay to
feel that, it’s ‘normal’, whatever ‘normal’ is.
But sometimes, do you get that feeling,
like something is missing in the jigsaw? Or your soul longs for something, that
you cannot, for the life of you, put your finger on? Or maybe, your soul,
yearns, for so much more, and you know what you want, but just don’t know, how
to get there?
I’ve been there too many years ago, and
since! Cos as I said ‘life happens’ through no ‘fault’ of our own, or maybe it
was, but hey, there’s no judgement here.It doesn’t matter ‘why’, if you still want to move forward, everyone can
make mistakes, and work them out, if only we were born with an instruction
booklet, but no we’re not, we have to figure it out, as we go along.
I know too, there can be so much around
shame, or guilt with mistakes, but that's our way of learning.
Sometimes, many of us never had a ‘role
model’ to follow, or come from broken homes, that give us insecurity issues –
There’s so many different ‘stories’ out there, and of course my work is
strictly confidential.
Sometimes, your inner self, needs, to talk
about everything that’s going on. I’ve experienced
those ‘big’ questions about what is, life all about?Then you hit other challenges, such as grief,
or loss, that brings so many other big questions, it’s never ending, but that's
what life is about.We have to accept
the good and bad, and deal with it all step by step.
Honestly, it is normal, you are no
different to me, we’re all learning in life, as long as we’re here!Learning and growth never stop, and as long
as most of the time you ‘feel’ happy and contented with your life, you’re not
doing bad at all!We cannot expect life
to run smoothly all the time, we are spiritual beings having a human existence!
As long as we still truly ‘feel’, and
are not ‘avoiding’ our feelings with multiple distractions, or suppressants to
escape our realities, then we are truly ‘living’.
It’s good to express yourself in whatever
way, it’s usually bad, to ‘hold it all in’, that’s when dis-ease can get a
hold.
So walk your talk, say what you need to
say, (even if you’re talking to yourself!) express your soul, because you only
get one life, make it a brilliant one!And don’t wait too long to reach your dreams, or tell those you love,
how much they mean to you regularly.Don’t wait, the time is now!
Well I have a BIG birthday coming up this
weekend, and I guess, because it’s a big one, I feel and apparently, everyone
else around me does, that I need to have something for my birthday, that is,
representational to the amount of years I will be.Really?
Of course, all birthdays are important and you
should celebrate them!But do you make the
ones with the zeros more important?Every birthday is an achievement don’t you think? An achievement of
being wiser, sharing your life with those you love, enjoying yourself, ‘being’
happy, isn’t that what everyone wants?
I was drawn in, I must admit, to the idea
of some diamond earing’s, my first thought!I’d had some Pearl one’s last year, though not a zero birthday, and I absolutely
love them!
The thing is, I don’t know about you, but,
can you see a difference in real pearls? In the quality of them, so that they actually
mean something to you?Now I don’t want
you to think I’m spoilt, cos really, I’m not, but looking at the size of the
diamonds in earing’s I saw, for a substantial amount of money, I just thought no,
theydon’t make me feel good
or special!
So, I looked around for something else, I
saw a nice chain bracelet, a cheaper sparkly necklace, (this was just to have
something ‘on the day’ yeah I know crazy!) – I could not find anything that spoke to me,
really!When I walked into the shop, a
lady said to me, it’s all beautiful isn’t it? Don’t you just want
everything?And I thought, well no, I’m
having trouble finding the right thing for me.
That’s the thing though, do you ever realise you’re going
for ‘the things to buy’ instead of ‘what they make you feel like’?The emotions they conjure up, maybe your own self-worth
is far more than you realise, because it’s not about the money, it’s about what you’re feeling,
in your life that matters the most to you!
This is a revelation in itself!Do you find you don’t even look at ‘real’
jewelry because you can’t afford it full stop? Does it make you feel less worthy?But then you suddenlyrealise, if you’d looked at them, as if you were going to buy them, you may
not want any of it? cos you’re really not, feeling it?
Do you do that? Do you stop giving yourself
even the experience, of finding out, ‘what you want’ without thinking about the
money?If you suddenly had excess money
would, you know exactly what you would buy?
The answer to this is not ‘DiamondEarrings’ no, no no, you need to know:
What type of diamonds as in:
caret
colour
setting
design
style
in gold, silver, white gold
whether they suit you
what shop they’re in
and finally, what price they are for the
‘energy’ or money exchange
Ah but no, wait a minute, the most
important of them all is whether they make you ‘feel WOWZA!’
But, you do need, all this information,
otherwise you’re going to be running around like a blue a…d fly frustrated
because you don’t really ‘know’ what you want.
And that goes for everything in your
life…If you don’t focus on what it is, you want, then the universe is going to
give you all those things you don’t want…It’s all just focus
Yes, that’s it, in a simplistic way, but so,
so true
I now give you permission to go into any
shop you want, and shop with all your heart, (no money involved here!) just
‘how it would make you feel’ I want you to look at everything until you find
things that make you feel like a ‘million dollars’ – but, remember it’s not about
the money! It’s about the ‘feeling’ – because you never know what the universe
has in store for you, and to be honest it’s not really helping you much
focusing on the limits of your life is it?
I was talking to someone about the FREE
assessments I give you, I realised why they are so needed, because no, I don’t
take everyone on as a client.That may
surprise you, you’d think I’d want to grab every last penny of work I can?
Well it doesn’t work like? Cos you only
have so many hours in the week, so it makes sense to be choosy ‘who’ you work
with right?
Especially when you’re in ‘the better I am
at my job’ the less time my clients stay working with me?
And I can see how crazy that looks, for my
work, but you know I’d rather work with people who are really committed to
doing the work, than those messing around and not even wanting, to do the work
on themselves.
Literally, I have seen some amazing people,
mainly women, who are upping their lives to exactly, what, and how they want
it, in business and in life, these women truly inspire me, I feel so grateful
to love my job and my clients.
They do ‘get it’ truly, and that means I get
to be the best coach or counsellor for them.And in turn that is what gives you a good reputation for what you do!
This is another ‘conscious choice’ that you
have to make, because again, it has to mean something deeper to yourself,
what’s the point in spending all your time dealing with people who don’t ‘get’
where you’re coming from.
If you’re looking for some real focus in life
or biz, and want to work with me, have a look at whether you fit the criteria
below:
a) You’re committed to doing the work, you
really want to change your life for the better, I’m really not in the business
of wasting anyone’s (yours or mine) time and money…and
b) The work you want to do is an area I’m
experienced in
If this fits you get in touch for your free
assessment, take action NOW
ACTION will always move you forward!
Email me: sally@absolutelyfabulousminds.com
– Just ask for your FREE assessment, we’ll have a 15-minute chat for me to take
details about you, what issues you want to work with, and see if we feel
comfortable talking to each other and working together!I’m here to enable those like you, to achieve
your dreams of feeling happy and prosperous in your life! Don’t wait till the next big birthday lol
I can do face to face coaching /
counselling sessions in mid wales or…
I now have uber super-fast fiber optic
broadband to work via Skype, which means YOU SAVE on travel, time and money…I
can now offer worldwide coaching / counselling!
Some people prefer theanonymity of Phone coaching / counselling,
available too
I have to touch upon a ‘touchy’ subject
with some people here, ‘money’
While some
have a good relationship with money, others do not, sometimes, through, no fault of
their own, health problems, unable to work, there are as many varied hard luck stories
as there are people. Whatever the 'story' lots of people genuinely need some help, and may not have the money to get it.
There's usually a lot of shame and guilt around ‘not
having the money’ or taking benefits or even 'accepting' help!
I’m reading some horrendous stories about ‘tax
credits’ in the UK, just being taken off people with nothing, and them being made
homeless, referred to a telephone ‘counsellor’, except they are not
professional counsellors at all.One
telephone so called counsellor told someone to go outside and have a cigarette?
I came across this as a counsellor, many years ago in a 'proper job', with
mergers being made, I was offered another position as a ‘counsellor’, BUT it wasn’t for a
counsellor, it was for a ‘Addictions worker’.Yes, I could’ve applied for the job and probably got it, being an ‘insider’,
and continued to take my ‘reduced’ monthly ‘living’ wage, but nevertheless, a ‘wage’.
I was appalled, of this idea!
True, some
of them, who took the jobs, were proper counsellors, but, to work with others that had no professional
training, just threw me a huge ‘curveball’.You may say, I could’ve made a difference, on a ‘living wage’, but
here’s the thing…
I would have had to ‘renounce’ my
professional capacity as a counsellor
UNLESS, I worked part time, on top of a
full time job, to fund being a counsellor.If a counsellor ‘stops’ working, they cannot just ‘start’ again, it has
to be continual, unless you don’t mind not being a member of a professional
body.
With expenses of training over 5 years in
the first place to be qualified, monthly supervision, Insurance, being a member
of a professional body BACP, marketing, counselling directory, website, domain
name, continual professional development (a stipulation of the professional
body BACP) office supplies, Office rental, Tax, Accountant – All these expenses
are not cheap.
I’m not complaining here, only in that,
some people are NOT getting the help they need NOW.It’s such a tricky one, we as counsellors,
cannot help ‘friends’ or people we know, and cannot work with anyone without a
monetary exchange.I've occasionally
found myself in the grey area of this, well arguably facebook ‘friends’ are
people you don’t really know anyway, but THEY FEEL you could just switch
on your counsellor hat for them, and quickly solve a problem?
It’s an anomaly of counselling that, only if
you’re a counsellor, you would understand?
It’s a bit like expecting a doctor to do an
operation on a moving train?
It’s not
the time or place, and the profession has strict boundaries to follow that
cannot be broken, because, otherwise counselling just doesn’t work - A doctor needs all the history of the patients illnesses, risk issues, mental and physical, all the details, life story etc. The same goes for a counsellor, It's not something you can sort in an instant, of course that depends on how complicated the issue is, and how honest a client is first of all to themselves.
Where am I going here, well, yes the people
that need the help don’t usually have the money, but I don’t feel offering my
time for £5 an hour is ever an option to be able to continue being able to
afford being in my job!I’ve seen this
done in some places, I believe it cheapens the profession, and is saying to
government funding, that its okay for counsellors to pay all their expenses and then
just work as a ‘volunteer’?
I’m attempting here, to tell it exactly how
it is
Of course I do concessionary priced sessions, but most of the
clients I have, are working, so they enable me to be working too!I also, do have a very small percentage of
funding available to me, for those who don’t have any money left to deal with their
issues, so if this fits you, then please do get in touch with me.
I believe, it is so important to get the
help you need when, you need it.It is
brilliant to ‘be positive’ in the most awful circumstances, BUT not if you’re
just ‘avoiding the issue’It isn’t going
to get any better, by burying it, I know that.
Believe me, that is a huge mountain to get up and over yourself, on
your own.Sometimes, you need to ‘let it
out’ otherwise it’s like a human volcano, that is going to erupt, and possibly
put you in a dangerous position.
You are better than that, YOU can do this,
I do believe in YOU, and I CAN help and enable you…
It’s just a question of ‘if you’ll allow’
yourself to realise, there is an ‘issue’
That needs dealing with, and this can
take many years sometimes, but until you do, you’ll be like a ‘bouncy ball’ and
you’ll never really experience being truly ‘happy’.
What is the point in that?
Especially, when I can apply for the funds for YOU to get the help you need...

Can
you ‘hand on heart’ say, you’ve given it your best shot?
With
whatever you’re passionate about doing, whether it’s to do with your life, or
beginning a business and making it successful? Maybe you’ve already, spent x
amount of time attempting to ‘make a mark’, but you’re still feeling like there’s
a ‘missing piece’ in the jigsaw? And
this missing piece, is stopping you somewhere.
Or
maybe your ‘big ultimate dream’ has been put on the backburner, cos you need
money now, but find yourself doing something, that doesn’t light up your heart
at all?
I’ve
been in the ‘Self Development’ area of business, for over 30 years now.When I say, I’m passionate about what I do,
its, undeniably, an understatement!
Cos,
my business, IS my life, IS what reaches into my heart, and touches my
soul!It’s so difficult to explain, sometimes,
but, that feeling I feel, for those I love, it’s the same feeling?
I’ve
always believed ‘I’ve something special to give’ and that’s not ego, it’s
because I’m a thinking, creative person, in whatever I do.I’ve succeeded in my own business because, I’m
not prepared to do, what I don’t believe in!
That
means, I CAN put my hand on my heart, and say, that I’m achieving great things
because:
a)I love what I do, and repeatedly,
my clients reach exactly, where, they want to go in their lives, and:
b)Because I’ve joined Leonie Dawson’s Academy, http://tinyurl.com/goxgjdjwhenever I need some practical help, or
accountability with my business/life it’s there, on hand, daily, hourly even
through the night! (it’s worldwide).Note – My supervision is a separate entity to this obviously.
Looking
back, this year has been an incredible achievement, I’m not saying, there’s no
further improvement to be made, in my life, business or financial situation, no,
cos I’ll always be stretching and growing, in every direction to bettering
myself. This is exactly, what I work
with, together with my clients, the exciting thing is, that ‘wherever’ you put
your expectations, is, wherever you will go.
Honestly,
the skies the limit, but, like all things, it’s been a learning curve, but hey,
why would you expect for instance to have a six figure business without putting
a little work into it?And when I say
work, woops I mean PASSION!YES, doing
what you love and making money!It’s
really a no brainer, why wouldn’t you want it?Take a look below
I’ll
let you into a small secret, mind set is everything, along with encouragement
and practical mastermind help, in whatever way you need!
Anyhow,
I’m just explaining, how, why, and what ‘business’ is to me, in my life, and
more importantly, my soul.I don’t
entertain anything that I don’t want to do, or doesn’t touch me soulfully in
some way.Which is why, I can,
wholeheartedly recommend Leonie Dawson and her life/business Academy, because I’ve
experienced what it can do, while keeping your own ‘self’, ‘passion’ not only alive,
but thriving and growing along with your business.
Oh,
thing is, there’s only till the end of September 2016 to join!! So please do
take a look now!
The
whole ethos is already my own beliefs, it’s business with a soul, plus the amazing
experience of others who will teach you so much, to propel you forward! Throw
in, accountability, and over 100 courses! That is some amazing library!
I
personally have experience of Biz goddess, Double your business, and various
meditations and talks too the beauty is, that you can go at your own pace.Double your business for example sends you an
email a day to work on individual items, but you can stop and restart the
emails if you get behind.So much info
on newsletters, marketing, websites, surveys – it’s gold dust, even down to the
sales pages!
Then
of course, you can ask for volunteers, to give you feedback, testimonials, or
to check over a website page, all such valuable input from closed academy Facebook
groups.That, in itself is awesome, as
many business owners become a little isolated because of working from home, to
suddenly having a potential group of women that are there for each other, it
truly is amazing!
I
would never recommend anything that didn’t stand up to my, quite high,
expectations.Not only that, Leonie gives
back to affiliates, a generous 50% which I think is amazing!Leonie also gives earnings to charities too,
she’s passionate about giving others their voice, she’s just built a school in
Africa!
I
believe, when making big money that is the right thing to do? What do you think
of this?
So,
the thing is, cos Leonie is passionate about what she does, the doors will be
closing to this opportunity of joining the Academy on the 30th
September 2016.So, if you’re
interested, then NOW is the time to do it
