Entertainment & Escape - Favourite Films and Film Stars

Marion Ryan has started a theme going on over at her Appreciate 2008 blog, and I posted my appreciations but I forgot to include all the wonderful films I have seen in 2008 and why I love the cinema.   I always mean to write down the films I've seen, to keep a record; perhaps I will get around to that in 2009. Because I haven't kept a list of 2008, it's hard to remember how much escapism and pure entertainment I've enjoyed up the local multiplex.

I remember The Bucket List, 27 Dresses, Caramel, The Visitor, Then She Found Me, Made of Honour, Sex & The City, When Did You Last See Your Father?, Mamma Mia, In Search of a Midnight Kiss, Nights in Rodanthe, Happy Go Lucky, Quantum of Solace and Young @ Heart.   I am sure there are some I have forgotten.

There are certainly those I would rather forget, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Women, My Best Friend's Girl and 4 Christmasses.

Ladies Who Lunch: How Abundant is Maria Davies?

You just plod along, don't you.   Minding your own business, taking care of business, helping people, collecting in the money, nose to the grindstone, laughing, crying, coping, managing, intending, visualising, counting your blessings, feeding the cat, sorting out the drains, zapping tolerations, helping people, allowing help, getting folks out of bad debt and into good, worrying about family and being the best you can be, whilst fighting the demons, battling the traffic and the traffic wardens.   Such is daily life.

And then, extraordinarily, out of the blue, something wonderful happens and all the more delightful for being totally unexpected.

I'm So Happy & Grateful That I...

There are a couple of homilies in coaching (well, more than a couple actually, but I am confining myself to these two today.   The first one is "be careful what you wish for" and the second one is "write it down, make it happen".

I just wanted to share with you today that forever - FOREVER - so long I have lost count - a couple of things have been on my wish list, written down and wished for with absolutely no idea how they were going to come true, such is my faith in these principles.

1. To own my own home again - done it (February 2008)
2. To be debt free - doing it (April to September 2008)   

I can hardly believe that two things I have wanted so much, so badly and for so long could both magically have come true and be coming true right now.  Awesome.   I am so happy and grateful that I own my own home again and I am so happy and grateful that I am becoming debt free and helping millions of others to achieve the same.   

If you want to own your own home with no money down check this out.   And if you want to start the journey to debt freedom forever check this out.   Either way, feel free to contact me so I can explain how learning about Rent To Own can get you your own home for only £1 and how you too can become debt free.   It would be my pleasure to share two of my best ever top financial tips.

Driving Miss Judith

Those lovely folks over at 50+ Life Design asked me to write something for their blog which would inspire the over Fifties.   Yikes, there's a challenge, and quite bizarre actually. I dont know about you, but although it says I qualify on my passport, frankly I still dont believe it.   It comes as something of an affront.   

Anyway I wrote something about buying my first convertible car for my 50th birthday - so if you are fifty plus, in need of some inspiration of just love a good story or convertible cars, you can read it here.

How To Become a Money Magnet

See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.   So goes the saying, or sommat like that.   Anyway, sod the pennies, its pounds and notes we want, isn't it?

Only last Saturday I was telling a group of Money Gymers at our Let's Talk Money day that the streets of London (and everywhere else) are paved with gold and to keep their eyes peeled because money is literally waiting to be picked up.   Pennies from heaven, notes which others have carelessly let fall, its everywhere. T. Harv Eker taught us special places to look for it and what to say to ourselves as we pick it up "I am a money magnet, I am, I am, I am".

And then, you'll never guess what happened on Sunday - we found a £20 note on the floor!   I couldn't believe it, I think this may my biggest ever find although I do remember finding two notes in the carpark, can't remember whether that was £15 or £30 together.   I was saying to my chum "WOW, I only taught them about this yesterday!" and there it was, literally at our feet - and not just a tiny amount of cash either, a goodly stash.   We had just been to the cinema, this paid for our tickets and we got change!   How brilliant is that?   

Shall I tell you the karmic reason why I think we found this £20?   My pal had said before we went to the cinema that her house was full of coins, discarded bits of shrapnel sitting around the flat in different places and she had decided to collect them all together and bank them.   She has be doing that with her bigger money recently (under my somewhat bullying guidance) and I think this was her reward for demonstrating that she pays attention.   Once you start to pay attention to what you have, more comes.   I'm fairly sure she has banked about £30 this week, in small change.   Add to that her half share of the £20 find and, to be honest, it was her beady eyes which found it.   But guess what the first thing she did with it was?   Gave it to me!  Imagine you could have someone else find your money for you, this story just keeps getting better and better, doesnt it?   Free money.   Lovely.

Anyway, as ever, I digress.   Keep your beady eyes peeled and you too can be a money magnet.   And even better, it wasn't one of those old scruffy twenties like in the picture, it was one of the wonderful crisp shiny silvery new ones!   Please leave a comment sharing your best cash money finds.

Anne's Consciousness Shifting Speeds My House Move

I'm on the move.   Moving away from my beloved Canary Wharf.   For a while, at least.  Last September my landlord let me know he was putting my home on the market.  Bummer.   I have been through the whole range of emotions - anger, sadness, surprise that any landlord would sell any property, particularly one as lovely as mine.   Then I relaxed as people came to visit in dribs and drabs but no-one offered on what is, after all, a postage stamp with the best view in the whole of London priced at half a mill!

And then, in early December, there were three viewings in one day and one of them offered and was accepted and I was duly served my notice for February, so I popped out and bought myself a new home for my own Christmas present, a nice tidy little BTL in Streatham Hill where I would lay my head for a while.

Only it's never as simple as that, is it?

Reduce Stress at Work - Go It Alone!

It's official - it's better for your health to work for yourself!

According to a little piece in The Times today about Office Health in Ten Easy Steps:

"Ok, so it's a big step, but research indicates that people who take the plunge and become self-employed report a higher level of job satisfaction and less stress. A study last year in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that self-employed people had greater autonomy and less job pressure than those in big organisations."

Not that you need to be a rocket scientist to work that out!   But anyway, it's nice to have it confirmed.

The Nice Things They Say...

People often send me kind messages which I store in a file called Warm Fuzzies.   This is a useful place to hide on a bad day!   The ever abundant Janet Swift sent me this today: as part of a much longer piece entitled I'm The Lucky Winner Again (of course she is, cor blimey - you should SEE that girl manifest!).

"I know you don't like receiving, I never used to either.  My Mother used to say "Jan, if you don't allow yourself to take, you deprive the other of giving".  Well, at the risk of being cut off, I am going to say that when I met you, I sensed that same abundant Universal love that I felt with Paul Price*.  It's a special gift which, in my experience, is displayed by just a few but which is priceless beyond measure.  You're one of those 'lucky winners'!"

* the consultant endocrinologist who saved Janet's life

By the way Janet, it's not that I dont like receiving, it's just that I'm not very good at it.   

Yet.
