After reading that Donna-Maree over at her mumspace has been tagged… I thought I would tag myself because it looks like a bit of fun!

The Rules:
1. Mention the person who tagged you and create a link back to them.
2. Pick your month of birth.
3. Copy-paste the traits for all the twelve months (see below).
4. Highlight the traits that apply to you and if you would like write some wit or not.
5. Tag 12 people and let them know by visiting their blogs and leaving a comment for them.
6. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve done it!

I’m a June baby… actually just scrapped in and was a tax deduction for my parents.  My traits are:

Thinks far with vision - I would say that’s true, I’m definitely someone you give the big picture to and then I can break it up into baby step so I can achieve it.

Easily influenced by kindness - most definitely.

Polite and soft-spoken - yes most of the time.

Having ideas - sometimes far too many and they can keep my lying awake in bed.

Sensitive - yes, just ask my husband.

Active mind - yes it comes with the ‘having ideas’ territory.

Hesitating, tends to delay - yes LOL but I am getting better.

Choosy and always wants the best - that the perfectionist in me.

Temperamental - my husband would say yes, but I’m a bit indecisive about that one.

Funny and humorous - mmm… I usually leave the jokes and humour to others as I like to observe more than be the centre of attention.

Loves to joke - sure.

Good debating skills - it depends on who it is.

Talkative - yes and no, again it depends on the situation.

Daydreamer - I can be.

Friendly - yes I’m definitely friendly but usually shy at first.

Knows how to make friends - yes once I’ve met new people, but shyness is something I need to overcome.

Able to show character - yep.

Easily hurt - yep.

Prone to getting colds - yes and I’m trying to fend off one right now whilst my husband is trying to get over one.

Loves to dress up - oh I love dressing up and going out for a fancy night on the town.

Easily bored - yes.

Fussy - can be.

Seldom shows emotions - I don’t like to cry in front of people if that’s what you mean.

Takes time to recover when hurt - yes.

Brand conscious - no I’m one that likes things that are different to others.

Executive - not sure what that means.

Stubborn - my husband would say so but I just think I stand my ground on some things.

I’m not going to tag anyone… however if you come across this and haven’t been tagged consider yourself tagged!

Enjoy!

I love this quote because it reminds me that not everything is about prestige or having more "things" but it’s about who I am as a person, how I treat people and how that comes back to me.

What kind of person do I want to be?  I want to continue being kind to people, be tolerant of other people’s cultures and just because their upbringing is different to mine, it doesn’t make them wrong and me right.  I want to be thoughtful, supportive yet empowered, strong and clear of who I am.

What about you?  What kind of person do you want to be?

People are encouraged to send out healing energies and prayers for the benefit of:-

- The wellbeing of all life on Earth (humans, animals and the Earth/nature)
- World Peace
- Understanding and respect amongst all people
- Spiritual growth for everyone living in our world

It is encouraged that everyone meditate at the same time.  It is planned for Sunday, 9th December at 12noon (GMT), which is 11:00pm in Sydney on the same day.  However, if you don’t stay up that late, you can send them at a more appropriate time as I’m sure that the world would appreciate it at any time.

World Healing Day is for the universal healing of our planet - and to create a new spiritual awareness amongst those who may be shrouded with negative and dark energies.

Not only are you helping to HEAL THE WORLD on WORLD HEALING DAY, you are also nurturing yourself.

Who is joining me?

On the business side of things, our book launch in Australia went well.  It was held on Sunday, 25th November in Coollum and was held in conjunction with White Ribbon Day.  I’m pleased to say that we’ve sold 52 copies of our journal since our launch date and they’ve gone to people in Australia, Hong Kong and the US.

I hope everyone is starting to wind down for Christmas and enjoy the festive season.  Over the next couple of weeks I’m working on my goals for 2008 along with planning and budgeting.

Enjoy the festive season!

I’m a calm person most of the time (on the outside) but generally my head is going a million miles per hour.  Since being home, I’m finding that head chatter is not so busy even though there is lots to do.

I’m happy to say that I’m now a certified Soul Coach and Past Life Coach.  The accreditation program was fantastic and what a wonderful way to connect with other like-minded women.

The Soul Coaching accreditation program was facilitated by Denise Linn, a well known author and a presenter on Hay House radio.  We were all blessed to have spent 9 days at her ranch in central California and what a beautiful part of the world.

I’ve got to dash to a client’s meeting but I’ll be back to tell you more about Soul Coaching.

Have a great day!

This gorgeous girl is now at the printers being primped and preened, in time for a November launch.

The purpose of our Journal for the Modern Goddess is for women to uncover the beautiful, unique and powerful Goddess that they really are. We encourage you to focus on aspects of your own life path – the inspiration and happiness you feel, the strength and wisdom you find in times of change and the dreams and visions for your own future.

Each section offers questions for you to explore as well as affirmations for moving forward.

Our companion guided meditation CD provides you with sacred journeys that will inspire and encourage you to create positive life patterns. This will help you to recognise and invite magic, inspiration and loving energy into your life.

You will be able to purchase your own copy at www.journalsforempowerment.com and you can read more about our next journal.

I now have to wait until the end of this month to see her fully blossom and in her most glamorous frock.  In the meantime I am organising a Virtual Book Tour, so if you’re interested in being a host, please do not hesitate to contact me at nicole at moderngoddessonline . com or leave me a comment on this post.

Blessings to you!

When I start to feel overwhelmed, I get out my walking shoes, my note pad and my meditation CD’s and no… I don’t use them all at once. LOL!  I put my walking shoes on and get outside, whether it’s a clear or smoggy day… I find walking really helps with the mind chatter because I can look around me, observe the others walking by or the dogs froliking along the esplanade.  My note pad is for writing everything I need to do down and then working out my priorities.  If I keep it in my head I just won’t sleep.  And the meditation CD’s help me to relax.

What do you do when you start to feel overwhelmed?

And the guide said "Yes, and the way is hard, and you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."

Not time, not space… not even death!
