For Girl Talk Thursday

March 3, 2010

I’m frus­trated with myself. I know what I want and I am pretty sure I have the skills I need. What I lack is the trust in myself to try to do what I want to be doing.  Maybe I just need some­thing or some­one else to tell me I can do all these things. […]

Jellybeanology to Create a Character?

February 27, 2010

We did Jelly­beanol­ogy as part of the True Colours Work­shop with the Bar­rie Job Find­ing club at North­ern Lights this month.
I picked the red jelly­bean.
Cheer­ful, skill­ful, intel­li­gent. A born opti­mist, sel­dom down long. A joy to be with. Never have to worry about money, finan­cially ample. Determined, passionate, sym­pa­thetic for less for­tu­nate. Likes enter­tain­ment and prefers to be […]

Secrets to Charisma

February 25, 2010

Secrets to Charisma (from the Bar­rie Job Finding Club)

Good hand shake
Eye con­tact
Remem­ber­ing names and names of fam­ily
Express emo­tions
Smile broadly and laugh lustily
Imag­ine that you are an elec­tric gen­er­a­tor
Human­ize what you have to say and put others first

One thing I have con­sid­ered for myself is to not always add my own sto­ries to every story when peo­ple are talking. […]

Give Yourself Some Love

February 14, 2010

On Valen­tines Day, whether you are sin­gle, mar­ried or any­thing in between and beyond, you can write a love let­ter to your­self. Don’t just joke or use sar­casm to pick on your­self. You are the only you. Appre­ci­ate your­self. Give your­self some credit. Tell your­self that you’re pretty good, if not better.

A Birdhouse for Doodle Week

February 6, 2010

The one I posted to U3 for Doo­dle Week is much pret­tier than the sec­ond one I drew to post here. Still, not every idea which seems great at the time, will work out. You just have to try it and see how things turn out in the end.

Look for Signs to Lead you to New Things

January 31, 2010

“Ignore your old life and look for signs that lead you to your new life”.
– Quote from an episode of Charmed which I hap­pened to leave on after The Gilmore Girls on Cosmo TV.
Isn’t it a great quote. I hope I caught it and wrote it down right. I was sort of watch­ing the show and […]

Five Things you can do When Life Overwhelms You

January 27, 2010

If you’re hav­ing a bad day, week, month even, it’s hard to sit down and focus on writ­ing. Projects which you know are com­ing up, dead­lines creep right along and you just get more and more behind by the moment. It drags on your spirit and takes your cre­ativ­ity with it. But, here are five things […]

Employability Skills

January 25, 2010

I’m going to a three hour long work­shop called ‘Iden­tify Your Employ­a­bil­ity Skills.’ this after­noon. I’ve been on the diet plan of not eat­ing until later in the day for the last month. But, I am going to treat myself to a break­fast at McDon­alds in between catch­ing buses out to the work­shop. I don’t […]

It’s a Snow Day

December 20, 2009

“In the depth of win­ter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invin­ci­ble sum­mer.” — Albert Camus
Where do you find your invin­ci­ble sum­mer when things are win­tery all around you? What gives you strength and a feel­ing of pur­pose, the fight to keep going/ trying?

How to Make a List of Your Interests

November 29, 2009

I don’t think you can make a real list of all the inter­est­ing things you like (whether you par­tic­i­pate or observe them) in just a few min­utes. There are so many ele­ments to our­selves, so many things we have caught in pass­ing and so much flash­ing through our minds at any given time. But, if […]

Vacuum Out Your Brain

November 17, 2009

From my horo­scope today:
Release your fears and dis­ap­point­ments, for­giv­ing your­self and oth­ers.
It would be a good thing if we could all do this, at least once a month. I think it would be like vac­u­um­ing your brain. Suck­ing out all the dust bun­nies, the doubts, the neg­a­tive energy, the bad thoughts, but not the experience […]

The Red Sock Celebration Thing

May 29, 2009

Cele­bra­tions aren’t just for vic­to­ries. Some­times you should cel­e­brate just get­ting out of the house and doing some­thing. When you are hav­ing a bad day, feel­ing ordi­nary or not even that good, try a pair of red socks. At least that’s what Julia Cameron wrote in Sup­plies: A Pilot’s Man­ual for Cre­ative Flight.

Feeling Like a Fraud

May 21, 2007

I wrote this in my blog. What do you think? Do you feel the same way?
You have no idea what a big fraud I feel like. I’m no expert in or about any­thing and yet here I am writ­ing newslet­ters for Pagans, trav­el­ers, gar­den­ers, writ­ers, dec­o­ra­tors, and so on. Who do I think I am? But, […]
