Life Power Tip
Many problems do not exist except in our imaginations. This week, see if you can only deal with what is actually in front of you and within your realm of influence. Leave any ‘worry’ that will produce no result. In fact, when has worry actually ever produced a result, other than a negative impact on your body? If you are a “worry wart” then allow yourself a specific, limited time slot for worrying, then move on, and get into action on something!
Action
Start a new daily habit, even if only a small one.
Challenge
Every time it wanders, practise bringing your mind back to the task.
Quote
The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore. -Dale Carnegie
Clearing
Make sure your vehicle is getting regular maintenance.
Question
What happens to your goals after you create them?
Affirmation
I choose to accept.

I have no words and only feel anger at this. Today, I notice that I’m responding the way that they’d want. I’m going to swap some more fiat for Bitcoin to help me feel better. Remove their money from them!

Abundance blocks are subconscious obstacles that hold you back from success in many areas of life. Ever felt stuck or unsatisfied with your finances? Your career? Your life? There’s a high chance you’re suffering from one of 24 abundance blocks or maybe more! Everyone is affected by at least some. (Link is below) https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/abundance-blocks/
Life Power Tip
Manage your priorities. Not having enough time is not a fundamental truth. It is purely a symptom of how you manage your personal priorities and where you choose to direct your energy. Reduce your commitments, or increase your requests of others. Learn to say yes or no effectively, to match your highest priorities. If something is working, improve it and expand on it. If something is not working, get it out of there!
Action
Start a journal. Include images, poems, and fond memories.
Challenge
Practise being non-judgemental.
Quote
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. -Haruki Murakami
Clearing
Make sure your computer’s virus protection is up-to-date.
Question
What habits or actions would you change when you become conscious of their most likely consequences?
Affirmation
I choose to always deserve.

We are the creator and shaper of our destiny by the thoughts we think. We rise and fall in exact accordance with the character of the thoughts that we entertain. Our environment is the result of what we have thought and done, and our circumstances in the future are being shaped and built by our present desires, aspirations, thoughts and actions. Therefore, when we choose and pursue a particular line of thought, consciously we build our own destiny. When you believe that your thinking has a lot to do with shaping your life circumstances, then I think you will benefit from James Allen’s book very much.

I'll be back. 🤭 First day of 6 weeks holiday with husband. Lazy morning watching Ashes Test Cricket 🏏
Darn sad really, yet a lot of truth to it for some (and increasing its presence daily) https://www.google.com/search?q=machiavellianism :(
Butternut Squash soup recipe:
Ingredients per 500g:
25g butter
1 large onion
Garlic, we like a lot
1/2 litre chicken stock
Pinch of allspice
1/2 litre milk
Bragg's nutritional yeast (to taste)
Salt/pepper (to taste)
Method:
Fry onion/garlic in butter
Add chicken stock
Pumpkin in oven face down till skin easily removed, remove skin
Cool all & blend in Vitamix till creamy
Back into pot, add 1/2 litre warm milk, allspice, nutritional yeast, salt/pepper, etc.
Heat gently
Add optionally another 10-15g butter
Serve with optional dollop sour cream
We make lots and we freeze the soup in double serves so we can easily thaw and have some garlic bread alongside for an easy after work meal.

Husband and I had a lovely Indian take out dinner with a glass of red. Watching the Test Cricket that I had recorded today. We were working so couldn't watch during day.
We're still watching now and decided to peek at the results. We're definitely watching this to the end now. A very exciting tail end of the game and we silenced the Barmy Army. 🤭🤣👏✨

If you look carefully, you can see the dragonfly appear a couple times. They often come to feed in the garden and fly quite close to, not bothered with my close proximity at all. 🧡✨
Dragonflies feed on a variety of insects, with adult dragonflies catching flying prey like mosquitoes, flies, and moths in mid-air. Dragonfly larvae, which live in water, consume aquatic insects, worms, and sometimes even small fish and tadpoles.

Hi my friends 🫂🎨🧡
I need to tell you something I haven't said clearly before.
For months now, I've been working on something larger than individual paintings.
A project in four movements:
SILENCE AMONG THE CLOUDS ☁️ — complete (4 paintings)
SILENCE AMONG THE FLOWERS 🌸 — complete (4 paintings)
SILENCE AMONG THE WAVES 🌊 — just completed (4 paintings)
SILENCE AMONG THE SILENCES 🔲 — coming (4 paintings)
16 paintings. 4 quartets. One question that keeps evolving:
*What does silence look like?*
I started with clouds — the silence of things that drift and dissolve.
Then flowers — the silence of fragility, of bloom and fade.
Now waves — the silence that remains beneath restless motion.
And finally, silences — plural, abstract, unbound.
The first three quartets are 20×20cm. Contained. Held in a square frame.
But the last quartet breaks free: **20×25cm**.
Because when you strip away clouds, flowers, waves — when you're left with silence facing silence — the square can no longer hold it.
It needs to rise...
This is what I'm building.
This is the my cathedral. 🔲
Now you have the whole structure.
Now you know where it's going. 🔲

Your mind does what you ask. This particular characteristic of our mind also makes it extremely powerful. I’ve posted the transcript from the Mind Does What You Ask video at this post. If you start thinking positively and focus on all the good that can come out of a situation, your mind also makes that happen. By changing your mindset, not only will you be able to bounce back from adversity, you’ll also start living your best life, regardless of your circumstances. (Link is below) https://www.forwardstepsblog.com/mind-does-what-you-ask/
Life Power Tip
Give yourself permission to feel the way that you do and to make the choices that you need. Generosity of spirit comes easily if you are not afraid to treat yourself well. When giving yourself what you need you will be in a better position to give generously and from the heart, to others. This is not about the kind of giving that is done through gritted teeth and has ‘duty’ written all over it!
Action
Notice often, your total relationship with the world.
Challenge
If you need to improve your effort in certain areas, then make a list of the things to improve.
Quote
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently. -Warren Buffett
Clearing
Go through your kitchen utensils and only keep the ones you love to use.
Question
What are you willing to leave behind, to have what you want?
Affirmation
I choose to feel increasingly generous with myself.
