I Don’t Know What’s Worth Fighting For, Or Why I Have To Scream…

I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know its not alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Tonight

(lyrics from Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit)

 
As I’m writing this it’s Sunday night, I’m on the sofa, and reflecting on my weekend.  I’m also watching Transformers (the film) – so I’m multitasking as always.

I Am The One & Only - Nobody I’d Rather Be!

Oh dear.  I think I will regret this!

25 weird, wonderful things about the Purple Minxy Temptress.

What, they have to be suitable for public consumption?  Oh.  Then it’ll be about 2 things that I can share with you.

The Gaz-Man started this for me in fact on his blog, so I might use those as starting points.

“Oh, yeah! I hope Nix does this. It’ll be a scream.

Here’s a few:

Hates oysters…

Hates seafood…

Loves purple…

Detests spelling mistakes…”

I’m also reading Linda’s, Renee’s, and Hilary’s answers for inspiration - so somewhere between that are my 25 things:

How time flies when you’re having fun!

Firstly, it’ll soon be time for the next issue of the Profit Pulling Project newsletter, courtesy of Garry Parkes.  If you haven’t signed up for your FREE copy, then you can do so here: Show Me The Newsletter!  I learn something new and get inspired with every issue, so it’s a must-have for me.

I’m Like The Ringleader; I Call The Shots

I have been guilty of procrastination since the New Year.  Yes, I work full time, and therefore don’t necessarily have as much time as others to dedicate to this at present.  But is that really true?  Or am I just a poor judge of efficient time management?

Gary’s 20 traits of Winners vs Losers post highlighted that to me – go and have a look and rate yourself honestly against the 20 points there.  It might just give you the wake up call you need.

Instead Of Chasing That Paper, Just Live Your Life…

OK, so over the past couple of days I keep seeing the video for this song, and then it’s been in my head…so I thought I’d share it with you.

Ever had one of those weeks where things just haven’t gone as planned?  You start off all confident and focused, and then everything rapidly goes downhill like a ball of string unravelling?

So Full Of Twilight; Dreams That Glitter…

I’ve had trouble thinking of a title for this blog post – previous entries have had song lyrics that have been in my head at the time.  One of my favourite songs is Girls Aloud – Call The Shots, so I decided to go for a line from there.  After all, dreams that glitter are probably the best ones to be going after!

And I’m On My Knees, Looking For The Answer…

…are we human, or are we dancer?

If you had seen me out on Saturday night I daresay you wouldn’t have thought I was either a human or a dancer if you went by some of the moves I was pulling – still, I had fun and that’s what’s important!  Going on the bumper cars at 3am after the club was also entertaining…the things I find myself doing!

Anyway, before I get caught up in my usual ramblings, please allow me to take this opportunity to wish you all a (belated) very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous and successful New Year.

Life’s a journey, not a destination…

…and I just can’t tell just what tomorrow brings… 

What a great response to my first ever post!  Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to read & leave me a comment.

As I write this, I’ve just driven back from visiting my parents, and in the car on the way home I was thinking about this online journey we’re on (in between singing and dancing about to music).  Some of the journey was foggy which meant I had to concentrate, but it also gave me the title for this blog entry, so I guess I shouldn’t complain!

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and it’s a new life for me…

…and I’m feeling goooood…

What would running your own business mean to you? Particularly your own ONLINE business, that can be run and managed from anywhere with an internet connection?  It’s a freedom that I almost don’t dare to dream of, although having seen others that are living this dream, I want a piece of this action.

Don’t get me wrong, I like my current job.  I’ve worked reasonably hard to get to where I am, and in that respect consider myself a success.
