Change

The fluidity of life requires us to be ready for change. When it comes you will know. Don't look for it...for it will find you when you least expect. It's the only thing constant in life...so prepare mentally and show up so that you are ready when it comes. Stay in this moment and learn the lessons, for it is only then that you will be truly ready to move on.

Playing the game...

Sometimes some things are better left unsaid. For the most part...confrontation only leads to more confusion. There comes a time when everyone has to answer for their wrongs. I am almost certain...that some people are not aware of this, hence the reason they continue to wreak havoc in other people's lives. After one time, is two and certainly we are held accountable.

With this said (I know it's a riddle) I hope next week brings much peace and enjoyment, notwithstanding that I have to work on Easter Monday and Tuesday! I wish I could have been home, but I am here now:) Feels great to be back...despite a few anomalies. Many of my friends are coming to visit next week though, so it should not be too bad.

Sometimes we spend time chasing the ideal situation, only to realize that it doesn't exist. I've come to realize that everything is just effort. How hard we want to try to make it worthwhile and livable. It all depends on how we condition our minds. Our mind sometimes is stronger than our bodies. Once we channel our thoughts in a particular direction, we can achieve anything we desire or maintain at an equilibrium.

In a short while, I head off to the studio to finalize my audio book! Upon the advice of a friend, I'm having music mixed into the background! Yipee.

Anyway, bye for now...I've got 1 1/12 more days in bliss.

Ciao.

So much things to say....

For some strange reason...this Bob Marley song just popped into my head and I can't get it out!...."I've got soo much things to say right now...soo much things to say" And I do but now is perhaps not the best time. I'm sleep deprived. Been functioning on 8 hours sleep for the past 2 days:( Been on a boat for the last few hours where I managed to catch a little shut eye but...my bed is now calling my name very loudly....:D

So many thoughts whirling around in my head but they need to be expressed in the best most lucid way! lol

I have a busy few days ahead but I will definitely make the time to update my blog and my followers with my current musings!

Till next time...ciao!

Celebrating 24, 600+ hits:) woohoo! Thank YOU!

Six degrees of separation


“We are all connected in this life…”

I heard this line on the drive home today on a radio ad and it got me to thinking…

We really are. Some very wise people told me a few times that you should not burn your bridges. Truer words were never said. We are indeed all connected. “Six degrees of separation”  we are all separated by thin threads, you never know where you would end up, who knows you or of you or what paths you might have to cross again in life. 

Even if it’s not you yourself, perhaps your children would run into a former boss or colleague and you wouldn’t want them to encounter road blocks when that time arises. Or vice versa, tables may turn: your child or maybe you would be in a supervisory or influential position to a former colleague or boss that was once your senior! Or a customer may know someone you work with…

Life is very fluid…topsy turvy if you may. Even though you may not think that far down the road now, it may prove useful to keep this at the back of your mind as you go through life.

With this being said, I think it’s time to start writing my second book…I’m running out of quotations! I feel like I’m at that place where I feel that I have more to share with the world. I’ve sold a few books and also generated interest in my new locale and the reviews makes my heart smile. 

Someone told me recently that they read it before they go to bed and they even felt so compelled to read it aloud to their spouse and after they finished one chapter….they couldn’t put it down…until they were beckoned to come to bed!

It’s really a good feeling to hear this and I feel soo humbled that God has inspired me to share my innermost thoughts so freely and that other persons are able to relate to my sentiments along my journey! It’s amazing…I almost still can’t believe it. 

On another note my audio book is nearing completion as the editing is done. So soon persons would be able to listen to voice recordings in the comfort of their home or car which adds a new personal dimension to my book. Can’t wait! Need to perfect it.

As always, I ask for your feedback…you can choose to do so via this blog by leaving a comment or “liking” my page on facebook>>>>>>https://www.facebook.com/ThinkingoutLoudbyCarolynCorreia

I was witness to this beautiful sunset yesterday! Enjoy:)

Best,
