Well it has been a crazy old time and if i even began to write about it you would be bored. So here I am back at the writing desk, with a new laptop, the other one karked it, and a new sense of wow about the everyday.

I love the thought of living my everyday in the perspective of generations rather than just me, my selfish desires and my life.

Here is a picture of Charlie Grace! My adorable God daughter whom I hung out with this week at a family wedding.

I am astounded that half of this year has flown by already, but I know one day soon I will be at Charlie’s wedding marvelling at days gone by, and how a whole generation passes without much thought by the one gone by.

I long to pass on an amazing legacy to charlie and her mates.

I long to be someone who inspires a generational mindset.

Do you?

I am at work for the final  tech rehearsal of our event next week ‘Jane Austen’s guide to people’ and all day I have been confronted with the woes of people.

People management is one of the most rewarding and the most taxing parts of leadership. Its only now that I am in my 30’s am I seeing the weaknesses in my personality and how they affect my ability to relate widely to people.

On face value no worries, a quick chat and I’m out of there, the bigger picture of the good, the bad and the ugly is where I am really learning lessons and trying to move beyond!

Pride- the area of pride, cause me and others to stumble so often. Not being able to admit fault, thinking that it is our right to justify our cause, defensiveness and the list goes on and on.

Prejudice- categorising people in boxes that they may have designed in previous encounters or the remnants of a people experience gone wrong or residue from your families bias can  really stop you from great encounters with people in your everyday.

pride and prejudice, two hairy monsters that I am trying to make extinct. Were all human so they surface often, but just like cockroaches the more you spray them with repellant the less likely they are of coming back!

nice…

Favourite Things: Saturday’s

Talking with a friend this morning about life, purpose and destiny, I was struck by the thought that ‘the tension between the now and the future is more the point than the finish line!’

We are stretched, frustrated, pulled, pushed, dissapointed, cajoled more than we are successful, liberated, ecstatic or delighted.

I think the reason is ‘We need to develop endurance, perserverence and character to be able to handle our futures.’

I see the glass half full, and with that perspective I totally believe that every person is destined for greatness. However how we handle that greatness, the fame, fortune, favour, whatever it is for the individual, is how we responded to the journey that it took to get there.

If you are frustrated with your day to day reality, look up and search for something beyond, because the tension betwen reality and destiny, is the true substance of things hoped for!

GOLD!

Noise, noise, noise! Surrounded by so much noise. My lack of Blogging lately has been due to a time of just taking life a little bit easier and allowing the urgent not to become the important and allowing my speed of life to lessen slightly.

We had a chat with a group of friends last night about the ability to still ourselves and turn off the bombardment of noise that surrounds our everyday.

Words, music, life, love, visual media- NOISE, NOISE, NOISE. Our world is so noisy and so bold, brash and confronting.

I am wanting to soften the noise level of my life and spend more couch time. Not letting myself out of the race that I am purposed to run, but just shifting the gear into 5 for a while and allowing the couch to minister to me!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
