I'm currently re-reading many books I read years ago – with fresh eyes!
Fresh eyes lead to new understanding.
And I'm not alone in this - I took a life-path-number book along to our walking group breakfast on Saturday morning as I knew there'd be some people there who'd be interested.
And there were. (Aren't we all curious about ourselves?)
The interesting thing, for a few of us, is that although we'd read this information before, it had different meaning to us this time round.
There seemed to be lots of fresh pairs of eyes in the group.
But - this "fresh eye" concept could actually be relevant in more than one area of your life – if you're willing.
Not only in your reading – but with your opinions; your preconceptions; your beliefs and especially within your relationships.
How can you look at things from a new perspective today?
What "old" thinking/seeing patterns are you holding onto that may no longer really be true?
If you had to cast "fresh eyes" over the situation, what might you see?

Life, Love and the Universe
I saw the movie Alice in Wonderland this weekend. Besides always loving Johnny Depp, I really enjoyed this version of the story. It’s an old classic with many layers of meaning!
I thought to share with you today the conversation that Alice had with Absolem (the blue caterpillar). Late in the movie he asks her again who she is. She responds (quite agitatedly) that’s she’s just Alice – although she’s been shrunk, she’s been stretched, told what to do repeatedly and even stuffed into a teapot to be hidden!
I found that interesting as we too are often swayed by life. We’re often pulled between commitments, obligations, responsibilities and demands.
Society (even our family) try to make us fit into a certain mould.
So – what labels are you still wearing?
What responsibilities are attached to these labels?
Are these shrinking you – or stretching you in various directions?
More importantly is this the person you want to be?
How about remove yourself from the tug-of-war and considering, for yourself: “Who is the real you?”
Enjoy exploring!

Life, Love and the Universe
I’ve been experiencing some car trouble lately. I was aware that something “didn’t feel right” for a few days as the car felt sluggish. After an appointment in the city area yesterday, an ominous error-warning light appeared on my dashboard which led us (me and the car) straight to “car hospital”.
All the way there I spoke gently, egging it along the freeway, promising it higher grade petrol - terrified that it would merely stop dead leaving me stranded.
(Don’t we always expect the worst somehow?)
The problem was quickly identified by the mechanics, a road test done and my car was released as “healed”.
Reflecting back on this later in the day, I realized the amount of worry we have about small things sometimes. We all know the old saying that says “most of what we worry about doesn’t, in fact, happen.”
What are you currently expending energy on that may not actually happen?
What can’t you control – but are trying to determine the outcome for?
Continued anxiety over the small stuff can chew you up from the inside.
Let go. Relax and Enjoy More.
