Unspoken - spoken


This is The Reunion Island, a French amazing island in the Indian Ocean. In the evening, after work, people go to the beach to have an evening swim as the sun goes down.
Ten years ago that was an unspoken dream. From when I first said I dreamt about living on a tropical island til I was there , livning there, on my tropical island, took 1 year and 4 month...so , some inspiration to focus focus....:-)

Focus

A very simple yet very useful&efficient thought: What you focus on will grow...So focus on the things that are really important to you! Vocalize your dreams, say them out loud...and just "wait" and see what will happen.

Love, Sunshine and Focus to all

Inspirations of the week

Last week and this week's inspirations

Every Monday I address the creative side in myself and I do a collage of pictures and texts that has recently drawn my attention. I hang this collage in my office so I can see it all the time when I work. The purpose is to make my focus clear: - What is it that is important to me right now? How does it all come together looking at the values of mine? What boost my energy to go out there and give to the world? I would like to share with you what is on this week’s inspirations:

Reclaim the weekend: a reminder to really slow down a bit, explore and enjoy each other’s company,
Inspiring – motivating-forward thinking women: so inspired by female entrepreneurs: give me some girl power!!! We need (I need!!!!) female role models – women with kids who succeed in having it all – a business of her own and a family,
Good life – be more self sufficient, said it before, in my soul I am a bit of an Italian mama… I love cooking and making things MYSELF and then enjoy it with others. Just bought rhubarbs+strawberries to make some delicioooous jam…It really doesn’t take too much time to do things YOURSELF!!!
Shades of simplicity: I love words like clean, simple, zen, space, open, sea, …AND sometimes I complicate things…The words “shades of simplicity” words reminded me to tap into SIMPLICITY. I am very much a fan of the Simple Living movment !!!
Light: I aspire to be a light-bearer and represent hope and possibility out there in the world (as simple as that!).
The art of nature: Nature is a healer and brings calm and clarity, nature is also an adventure…piece of art.
Richard Branson: he is a cool guy who just follows his inner voice, do what he believes in…”Never” wears a suit…I LOVE that rebellion side of his!!!
Cups with the English flag: we are soon moving from the UK and the Union Jack just brought my attention to stay true to my commitment to celebrate the day..especially now when we will be leaving shortly…Savour the day here in the UK…I will miss my friends and the community around here, I will miss running in Hyde Park and having the vibrant city of London just on my door step.
Pictures of scones and clotted cream: just another version of the former…



Treat your days as if you were to leave tomorrow…what difference does it make?


LOVE & SUNSHINE
