Another week gone... Is your year speeding past in a flash? Mine certainly is. Not such a terrible thing I suppose, it's probably just because I’ve been so busy. I've been at the Rumi quotes again, 'Only from the heart can you touch the sky.' Yes. Act from the heart, follow your dreams. Advice that seems to keep popping up in different formats in different areas of my life lately, so I'll take that as strong messaging, and I think I will. Act from the heart, that is. I've noticed a bit of a pattern in my life over the years, it's those times when I act on the spur of the moment and let intuitive hits guide me that I seem to make the best choices. When I think too much I over-analyse and maybe it's something we're all guilty of sometimes, but if you think too long and hard you'll always find reasons not to do stuff - so I suppose what I'm saying really is that your heart does know best and if you're willing to let it be your guide you can't go too far wrong. A few weeks ago I was looking at something online, ended up on a website's courses page, and before I knew it I'd signed up to do one. All very spur of the moment. Rash? Reckless? I know some would definitely say so but actually I think I knew in that moment it would be a good thing for me, I just felt it, and it's turning out exactly that way. Something very absorbing to get my teeth stuck into over the winter months when there's not too much going on, it'll definitely keep the boredom at bay and maybe it'll even lead on to bigger things... Time will tell. In any case, I acted from my heart, as Rumi says, and it's working out very nicely for me indeed.
More Rumi coming up - all products are lined up and ready to go live in the next day or two. I've had a couple of other ideas too which I'm not quite sure how to approach just yet, that'll take a bit of playing around I think to find the right format, but do watch this space. It's a departure from the things I've done so far but I did always want to branch out a bit more and if I can make it work I think it'll be a good new addition, a full line of new products. Is that a bit vague? Sorry, it's just too early for any kind of big reveal, but watch this space...
