Lots of ideas

Now that my book is with the publishers being edited etc. I am free to start thinking about my next one. Now I am on a roll and have well and truly caught the writing bug. The question is what shall I write about next. Lots of possibilities keep popping into my head and so I will wait a while until one really grips me.
I am amazed how my goals are being realised one step at a time.
 I am sitting in my caravan, my dream home. I am waiting for my life coaching certificate to arrive. This marks the achievement of another goal and now the book is about to become a real thing!

I spent such a long time hoping and wishing that good things would happen to me. Lots of good things did happen but it all felt a lot like chance. Some good things and some bad things happened and I was like the passive recipient. Now I feel a lot more in control of the situation. I work out what I would like to achieve and then I set achievable goals so that I can work on my dreams a little every day.
I am looking forward to helping other people achieve this through coaching.
What a wonderful way to earn a living!

My book is progressing...

I have just heard from the publisher. They have received the manuscript and the pictures. The next stage is that the team will proof read it for me and advise on any alterations I need to make. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished article. I hope people will find it useful as now that I have caught the writing bug, there will be no stopping me. It feels weird having finally completed my
book. It doesn't feel right not having a book to continue so I will just have to start working on the next one!

half way there!

I am currently at a tricky stage with my book. I am proof reading and editing my work. I am half way there and then will be in a position to submit it to the publisher.
This is something that I have wanted to do for such a long time and I am so nearly there now. I am hopeful that once this book is published I won't leave it so long to write the next one.
I have always believed myself to be a writer but something always stopped me getting things finished. Finally I have pushed through the fear of failure etc. and there is no stopping me now!

Writing

I have almost finished the first draft of my book. I am going through the process of editing parts down and building other parts up.
I have spent the whole day doing this and am very happy as this is something I have always wanted to do.
I believe we all have plenty of stories to tell and ideas to share and writing is an excellent way of doing this.
Ollie is very happy that I have been here sharing the sofa with him.
We are going out for walkies soon as it is a beautifully sunny day.

clean caravans

I guess its a b it late for spring cleaning but today has been spent cleaning and scrubbing the exterior of one caravan and the decking of the other.
Soon everything will  be clean and shiny.
A bit later I will be drinking flavoured cider with G and the dogs will be working out what snacks they can muscle in on!
Have a good day everyone.

I am excited!


You know when you pluck up courage to start acting on your goals and dreams?
Well it is scary at first and the first step is definitely the hardest but when you eventually do take that initial step it is that much easier to take another step and yet another and before you know it you are galloping towards your chosen destination.
 You know that felling?
Yes!
Well that's how I am feeling right now and last night I was so excited I found it hard to sleep.
I feel like I did when I was a kid trying to get to sleep on Christmas eve!

Life Coaching

I am currently training as a life coach. I am finding the course interesting and am enjoying writing the assignments.  Friends are being very kind and are acting as guinea pigs by agreeing to answer questions. Their responses are used to help me with writing the assignments.
It is a great day today. Broadband has finally been installed in my caravan so I no longer have to write the assignments on my phone.
It is a lovely bright evening. I can hear the birds calling over the lakes and Ollie is in a chasing dream. His little legs are moving about as if he is really chasing something as he snores!
