Hello everyone,

Sorry I disappeared for a bit. I currently have about a week’s worth of emails to get through (it’s a lot!) so please bear with me for a bit longer.

I’ve been a bit busy…

• Working my arse off (waitressing) so I’ll have extra money to…
• Start my marketing business, while…
• Developing my new website which is launching soon (stay tuned for details!)
• Planning for a “Think and grow Rich” Mastermind study group with friends
• Writing a book chapter about fairies (I am a contributing author)
• Preparing for my trip to Sydney
• While sort of dating someone in what little spare time I have left! Phew!!

And tomorrow I leave for Sydney for christmas, and I shant be back until after New Year’s. I’m looking forward to catching up/ partying with my Sydney and Canberra friends (Watch out! I have a camera now! No-one is safe! haha)

My new business mentors have sent me on a bit of a quest to find a few good people with leadership skills/ who would like to learn leadership skills, to set up a new group in Sydney. If anyone knows anyone there who might want to meet for a chat about the possibility of making some extra income, let me know soon okay, because I’ll only be in Sydney for a few weeks, and I plan on making the most of it!

More updates soon!

Brightest Blessings xox

Well, I’ve successfully managed to go a whole week without video-documenting something. Hooray! (My friends convinced me to stay away from video blogging while recovering from dental surgery this time).

But what will I distract myself with if I’m not making documentary videos about random stuff?

Facebook.
…Feel the addictiveness.

It kind of shits me that Superwall has become yet another avenue to spread meaningless forwarded drivel/ aka spam rather than being an avenue for conversation and relationship building [over the internet] which I suspect it was originally intended to be (…or something like that).

Tonight’s my favourite marketing lecturer’s birthday, and that got me thinking about all the cool stuff she taught us about Integrated Marketing Communication, and how marketing has to change from the obsolete methods of yesteryear; Niche marketing vs. mass marketing; 1 on 1 relationship building rather than blanket advertising which treats everyone like a faceless clone. They have no choice if they want to sell stuff now. Generation-Y public caught onto what they were doing before, and are naturally suspicious of mass advertising (or of anyone who assumes they understand their individual needs and wants when clearly they don’t).

Anyway, I was thinking that all the forwarded chain letters on Facebook are kinda like the mass marketing of yesteryear which everyone hates so much (kinda like it but not). It’s the whole “lets send a bunch of stuff out to hundreds of random people to make it look like we care about them as a person, but really we don’t give an arse, as long as they see it comes from us and hence they think of us-albeit briefly- so as to increase our brand awareness”. Am I right??

P.S. Just to be crazy/ random, here’s me with a sparkly pink butterfly and a boat I’m thinking of buying…

I recently found a name for the condition which has plagued me all of my life…

(From Steve Pavlina.com)

“One obstacle that traps a lot of highly conscious people is what Erin and I call Lightworker Syndrome.  This is what happens when someone wakes up to a higher level of consciousness, but they can’t figure out how to live on purpose and feed themselves at the same time.  Such people have a lot of trouble staying connected to higher levels of consciousness while also remaining solidly grounded in the physical world.  Many of them get so frustrated with the experience they become depressed and have feelings of wanting to give up and just “go home” (i.e. return to the nonphysical world).”

Hello! Me me me *puts hand up*…

Spiritual connectedness vs. physical groundedness

“These troubled lightworkers often feel they must compromise:  either stay connected up top and be totally ungrounded, or lose that higher connection and become more grounded.  But this is a really tough compromise, so many of them oscillate back and forth, never quite sure which is the right way to go.

Consequently, these lightworkers either do empty work they don’t enjoy but which pays OK, or they do purpose-centered work that hardly pays anything.  They end up sacrificing either their purpose or their income, since it’s very, very challenging to satisfy both at the same time.  But this either-or decision takes a toll in the long run.  It’s hard to stay on purpose if you’re worried about paying the rent, and it’s hard to generate good income if your work doesn’t inspire you”.

Story of my life! 

Fearing your own power 

“The reason you can’t maintain your stable connection to Source AND remain grounded at the same time is that you’re afraid of what it will mean if you succeed…”

“I know a lot of would-be lightworkers are concerned they can’t make a living pursuing their purpose.  I didn’t have that problem though.  I felt confident I could make a living at it somehow.  What really held me back was whether I felt comfortable doing it at all.  My real fear was:  What’s going to happen if this actually works?  What if I succeed?”

“Whenever I see a broke lightworker, I invariably see an underlying fear of success. ”

“I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “With great power comes great responsibility.”  And that is exactly what lightworker syndrome sufferers fear most.  They fear that if they actually succeed, they’ll have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders.”

Overcoming fear of responsibility 

“I admitted to myself that I had the internal resources to be doing much better, but I was holding myself back.  I knew I wasn’t doing my best, but why not?  I wasn’t doing my best because I wasn’t ready to accept the consequences of doing my best.

If I really did my best, I’d have a bigger impact.  I’d draw a lot of people to me.  I’d end up with a lot of responsibility.  Scary.”

 Position vs. power

“If I don’t exercise my power, it doesn’t mean I’m powerless.  It just means I’m inactive.

I thought to myself, “Crap!  I’ve been thinking all this time that I’m staving off power (and thus responsibility) by declining to act.  But all I’m really doing is giving up control.  If I have the potential, then I have the power, which means I have the responsibility too, whether I act on it or not.”  Failure to act does NOT relieve one of responsibility.

It was then that I had an epiphany.  I realized I could never escape responsibility by failing to act.  The only thing I could escape was control.  This is why I say you can give up control but never responsibility.  Responsibility is a given.”

The epiphanies keep coming… 

WTF?!

Welcome to Friday night at the club…

• Having to remind drunk men that I am ONLY A WAITRESS and should they wish to book a stripper, please see reception
• Working behind the bar with minimal training and almost zero knowledge of alcohol (”how the hell do you make…”)
• STRIPPER FIGHTS! in the back room (how amusing)
• Having several hot guys try to give me their phone number, and actually exercising some SELF CONTROL for perhaps the first time in my life when it comes for men (It’s all about setting BOUNDARIES ;p)
• Being invited to Saudi Arabia (I haven’t had that one before!)
• Being asked repeatedly to dance (with my clothes on) because apparently I’m prettier than all the strippers and they only want to see me. Really? Awww shucks… I’m still not doing it! ;p
• Being told by countless men that my boyfriend is the luckiest guy on earth (hope he knows it

So why the hell am I working at a gentlemen’s club?!? I was wondering the same thing… then I counted my tips for the night…

Almost $100 in tips for a few hours work.

(It sort of makes up for the interestingness! ;p)
