Mind Crunch or Credit Crunch?

Hello again!

I know....... long time no blog! And since I have dedicated today to catch up on my writing (aren't you so proud of me Kirsty? ...she's the influence behind anything I do Web/IT wise) you may well see an abundance of blogs and articles over the coming months. Well let's face it, unless it's in the diary, does it get done? Must be something to learn from that!

So, where to start? Well the last 3 months have been some of the most interesting I can honestly say I have had in my life. Funny isn't it, over the years I've been on scores of courses, listened to endless tapes (or is it Ipods today?), read hundreds of books and spoken to many many wise and learned people that you'd think that I'd have the secret to the universe. But there's nothing quite like 'experience' when it comes to learning and change.

So now you are sitting there expecting to read about some catastrophic incident that occurred recently and all the woes, blood, sweat and tears that I battled through to emerge safely and sainly out the other end? Sorry to disappoint!

Ok so the credit crunch has had its effects on the Martin household, but how is it that I can 'hand on my heart' say that I feel even happier and more content than ever? My coach recently said (yes I know, I'm a coach why should I need a coach ...answer, don't we all if we want to continually be moving in the right direction ?) that real 'learning' comes through listening, I mean really listening, to something in your head or your body that's trying to get some attention and finding out what the heck's going on. And that includes when you're feeling really great as well as when you're having a freeky moment.

And the BIG shifts come from when you commit to getting a 'learning' from every good or bad situation.

So there's a credit crunch and for some it could mean them losing everything they have. For others it could mean having to cut back. How timely it was that Lesley Brown sent something to me recently that just puts everything into perspective. Let me know and I'll glady pass it on.

Until later
