I am loving The Breakthrough experience by Dr DeMartini. (love his name too. I won't make a joke about Leonard Rossiter if you don't.)
Wow! The book (versus the drink) is profound stuff.
We have all traits - the good, the bad and the ugly. I did his 'collapse exercise' when working through some of my stuff on a person I was ranting about and got to a truly accepting and loving place about that person. And he rang me!!! Literally in the middle of it.
I'm thinking of starting a Big Peace book club - and we can work through exercises. What do you think?
I had to share this blog post from Leo of Zen Habits. Am in the midst of a life de-clutter and this couldn't resonate with me more:

We’re in love with stuff — with shopping, with acquiring, with owning, with collecting.
Let’s lust after life instead.
Our obsession with stuff has become unhealthy. When we have a void in our lives, we buy things. When we have problems, we buy things. And these things are becoming more and more expensive, bigger, shinier … more wasteful.
This obsession with stuff leads to owning a lot, having a lot of clutter … and yet this stuff doesn’t fill our lives with meaning.
It leads to deep debt, from buying so much, and needing bigger houses and storage spaces to contain everything. Financially, we’re worse off than ever, because of this obsession with stuff.
We buy things when we’re depressed, we buy things for others to show how much we love them … and in this way, stuff has separated us from actually dealing with our emotions, blocked us from truly connecting with others.
Let’s replace that lust for stuff with a lust for life.
Some ideas:

Isn't this sunshine lovely? I was lying in the sun today snoozing with my dog (whose recovering well from the snip, thanks for asking) and having 'isn't life grand?' moment when my inner pessimist started shouting very loudly from the bottom of the deck chair. 'What are you doing just sitting there? Are you insane? Have you no idea how many emails/articles/web content you have to write before tomorrow...blah...blah.'
But I managed to flick him off with my toe into the watering can because I've got a new school girl crush on Leo Babauta.
Leo Babauta is the author of The Power of Less and the creator and blogger at Zen Habits, a Top 100 blog with 160,000 subscribers — one of the top productivity and simplicity blogs on the Internet.

His blog is fantastic and I've been following is Ultra-simple 3 Step Productivity System this week (hence my snooze in the sun.) Want to join me?

I'm off on my holidays for half term this week - and doing lots of playing!
Have been totally inspired by my Big Leaper John Williams' free teleclass.
www.freestylesuccess.com/gofreestyle/playmasterclass.html
I met John when he invited me to talk at his Scanner's nights (creative, entrepreneurial people who have a million ideas and want to do them all - I felt like I was on drugs when I went to my first Scanners events. Scanners are so my tribe - fun, inspirational, creative, kind, lovely.........) I adore John and what he is creating and his whole philosophy.
"Passion is a magentic thing!" he says. Too right.
When I first started on my Big Peace journey, I thought it might be a bit boring - white clothes and a kind of white, blank mind where all we did was focus on Uranus. But what I've discovered is that it is one of the most passionate journeys of my life. I feel alive, connected, loved and in love - with my dog, my son and life....I feel passionate. Oh yes. And magnetic? I've started to attract wonderful stuff...book deals, beautiful clients best friendships, great people into my life.
John is an amazing and inspirational client. I dare you to listen to his teleclass and not get passionate.
