If you do, have you started doing the things on your bucket list? If you haven’t what is stopping you?

Do you need to be dying to have a bucket list or can you start one from the day you are born?

I have many things on my bucket list and I am slowing ticking them off, like a lot of other people every time I cross one off my list I add another 2. This year one of the things I did was to visit the Rocky Mountains in Canada, a truly beautiful place.

I recently connected with a lady on Facebook who is doing something about living her dream. Lisa purchased an old bus on ebay, and then told her husband about it, they are now doing up the bus and are going to travel Australia in their bus with their 5 boys. You can read about their adventures at New Life on the Road. They are looking for a name for their bus; my suggestion is “Our Bucket List”

Many different people have many different bucket lists, what is yours? And more importantly when are you going to start doing some of the things on your list?

This reminds me of an old saying “never put of till tomorrow what can be done today”.

One of the reasons I was prompted to write this post was because recently I have heard of a couple of people who have died when they were relatively young after having spent most of their time and energy working long hours and talking about what they would do when they retire in many years time. Sadly for them retirement never came, in this life. So what are you waiting for, start a “bucket list” and make a start on doing some of the things on your bucket list.

Capsicum

The other day I was driving along in my mobile university (car) when I felt like a change, so I flipped over to the radio. I arrived on 4BC just as they were starting an interview with the grower of “Classical Capsicums”. Needless to say, this aroused my interest.
You see He sells his produce at the Redlands Markets, but he grows them in Murwillumbah which is part of Byron Shire. Here there is good rich soil and plenty of rain; helpful for growing capsicums! But he grows these extra wonderful “Classical Capsicums”, so named because he assists their growth by playing music to them.

But not just any old music, instead he plays them classical music, usually of the Baroque style. He went on to say that it’s not just the music, but rather the vibrations put off by the music and not just vibrations but the kind of vibration for the time of the day that makes them grow so well. In India they have divided the 24 hour day into 24 vibration zones and using the right vibration or tempo at the proper time further helps their growth.

Since early times, incense has been an integral part of worship and ritual in temples, churches, ashrams, and mosques as well as being used in the home to purify and sweeten the atmosphere and remove or neutralize negative energies.

How often have you said “that’s it, tomorrow I will start to exercise” and then gone off to bed, only to wake up in the morning and say “I’ll start tomorrow, today I just need to rest”?

Your physical well-being is essential to make the most of your emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Yet how often do we put off to tomorrow what we need to do today?

While this can happen to the best of us, it doesn’t mean you should drop the ball altogether when it comes to staying fit. What people need to realize is that staying active and eating right are critical for long-term health and wellness on all levels — and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The more you know about how your body responds to your lifestyle choices, the better you can customize a nutrition and exercise plan that is right for you. When you eat well, increase your level of physical activity, and exercise at the proper intensity, you are informing your body that you want to burn a substantial amount of fuel. This translates to burning fat more efficiently for energy. Energy we can use for work or play.

Almost everyone has heard the hit single ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby McFerrin’s simple message surely made a lot of people happy by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is – ‘The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change’, and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.

– The most common fears that people have and how to overcome them.

If given reign, Fear binds you – it keeps you locked in and holds you in place. If you allow it, it will keep you from moving ahead and from realizing your dreams; it will stop you in your tracks.

Of the many things that get in the way and prevent us from attaining what we need and want in our lives, fear would have to be the biggest obstacle, and it is amazing the many disguises it can take on. Fear can paralyze us; it can prevent us from making decisions, it will hold us from taking action and will keep us from asking for what we really want out of life.

We have all heard this many times but have you ever stopped to think about what it really means? Over these past few months I have noticed what many people have been saying about the state of the economy; there has been much talk about how bad it is. Although it has been tough times for many it has also been good times for others.

What was the difference? How can one business do very well in tough economic times and another similar business thrive? I think a major difference is in how they think and what they say.

The business owners that do very well always have a positive attitude and speak about making lots of sales and having many customers coming through the doors. While the business owners that don’t do so well have a different outlook; when you talk to these business owners they always say “we are doing okay, considering the current tough economic times it is sure to be slow considering all that is happening”.

I also had some friends open a new business in what was considered a very bad time to open, as many other were closing, but they had a very positive attitude and are making a profit and doing better than expected.

This doesn’t just apply to business. I have friends who always seem to be getting sick with whatever is going round, eg the flu, stomach bug etc., while other friends never seem to get sick at all. The difference is in what is said! – do you say “I never get sick” or “I always catch whatever flu or bug is going round”.

Next time someone asks “how are you”; think about how you answer, you can answer with a positive reply or a negative. It’s always your choice. If you are in business and someone asks “how is business”, stay positive and see if things change. Of course one positive answer will not turn around a slow business but many positive thoughts and words said with feeling can change things.

May the light of your soul guide you today.

May the light of your soul bless your work and play with the immense love and warmth of your heart.

May you see in all that you do the beauty and light of your own soul.

May you see your own divine reflection in the eyes of those you encounter.

May the sacredness of your presence bring healing, light, and renewal to those who meet you, work with you, and need your inspiration.

May your work never weary you.

May your work release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement.

May you be aware and present in all that you do.

May you never become lost and taken far from the light of your divine path.

May your burdens be lifted as you embrace a grander perspective.

May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities, inspiration, and promises.

May evening find you content, gracious, and fulfilled.

May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.

May your eternal spirit calm, console, and renew you today and always.

When we think of angels, we might hark back to the mighty beings from the bible… those grand messengers of God who came not only to communicate, but also to do His will, some even with mighty swords, or as Guardians. Some of you may bring to mind the Victorian notion of angels; those cute chubby little child cherubs who are so playful and endearing. Many people also believe that we all have guardian angels, to watch over and care for us.

In recent decades there have been hundreds of books written on angelic encounters along with messages from the angels. Once it was only around Christmas time that angels made an appearance in gift stores, where today sales of angelic paraphernalia have skyrocketed to a year round phenomenon! Angel Oracle decks and readers abound. Just search the web and you will find thousands of websites dedicated to getting to know the angels.

We are all so much more than just our physical body. Metaphysically we are this great ball or egg of energy that we physically sit comfortably (or uncomfortably as the case may be) in the middle of. Our Aura reveals much about us. Much more than most of us expect or sometimes even realize.

Some have their aura fully contracted and you can see and feel this physically as they are withdrawn, closed off and insular, usually with little or no desire to communicate. Others are fully extended and you experience this physically as they are usually quite extroverted and exuberant even a little too devil may care. If their aura is balanced and proportioned they present as open, balanced and positively normal.
