Hello Dear Readers
Ain’t love grand? I just spent a wonderful weekend at my friends’ Marina and Jay’s wedding. Never a more gorgeous couple will you find. Their wedding waltz was “Freedom” by George Michael – this song expresses exactly how they feel about the love that keeps them together and allows them to explore their own lives at the same time. Even Rob said ‘isn’t nice to see two people so in love’. A weekend spent among friends is certainly a great way to feel all gooey and happy inside. More photos on my personal blog . Jay and Marina saying their vows
I also had a letter published in the latest Australia/New Zealand Runner’s World, complete with photo of me and my boogie board. There is something so gratifying about seeing yourself and your work in print. An excellent ego stroking feel-good moment for sure!
March 30th - I was diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago. Here I am now, alive and fullly healthy. Much to be grateful for.
Here’s to more great moments.
Zoë
p.s. Congratulations to T.G. who stopped 'blasting her ducks' and is marrying the man of her dreams in May.

The main article: Get your ducks in a row
Imagine a life where you had a perfect body, perfect health, bountiful cash flow, solid relationships, rock-solid self-esteem, rewarding career, fabulous house, incredible wardrobe, amazing adventures. Sound good? Many of us would gush ‘yeah baby! Give me some of that life!’ On the surface, this seems the ideal of what we want – to have all our ducks in a row.
However no sooner do you get the little duckies all lined up, then one of the little buggers slips away. Everything seems to be going along fine, and then all of a sudden the business takes a turn for the worst, or your partner starts to show a few more warts on his otherwise perfect personality, or your training starts to slide and you catch a cold. What is this mutinous force conspiring to derail your perfect life?
There is no outside force. The only thing shooting your ducks is YOU. You are at the source of everything you attract and create in your life, whether this is something you think you want or not.
So why would anyone want to sabotage their perfect, all-lined-up, plain-sailing kind of life? Isn’t that what we all desperately want?
The truth is that though we may feel on many levels this is what we want – an absence of struggle, an absence of worry, there is a huge energetic resistance to fulfilling dreams. If you get underneath this you’ll find there is a river of fear flowing under the dreams. The fear sounds something like this: if we get everything on our wish list then there will be nothing left to wish for. We will have made it, our purpose fulfilled. When we make it, there is nothing left. A giant yawning chasm of eternity lies before us. Might as well roll over and play dead. So we keep blasting the ducks out of line to give us something to chase after.
Life is more than getting your duckies in a row, my friends. This is merely the platform for your next big evolution as a human being. If you find your ducks keep escaping just when you were getting close, then it is time to expand your desires and intentions to something much greater.
Getting past worrying about your ducks is all about expanding your consciousness. Dreaming big is the place for inspiration and builds momentum.
Here’s how to expand your consciousness about what is possible. Imagine you had $20 million given to you. The only rules were that you had to spend or give away all of it before the end of the year. Otherwise you don’t get the next $20 million that is coming to you. What would you do with this $20 million? Go ahead – work it out dollar by dollar. After you pay off the mortgage, get the fancy car, buy a new wardrobe, and travel around the world, you’ll find you have a few million left over. What do you do with it? What kind of difference could you make with this money?
Now your brain starts to think…all that money, what could you do for the planet, for your family, for humanity, for the environment? What feels good to you?
Me? I want to start a learning centre on the coast. I want it to be a place of inspiration, learning, big thinking, and big action. I want to inspire people to a higher purpose and to increase the level of joy in the world. Somehow this makes getting to the gym a whole lot easier: I want to be my best so I can fulfil this vision.
While you ponder whatyou would do with $20 million, your awareness starts to expand beyond the little ducks you have been chasing most of your life. Getting your ducks in a row is the first step in playing a much bigger game. When your ducks are in a row, when you are healthy, happy, secure, financially abundant, you can serve a much bigger purpose.
Now your brain starts to think…all that money, what could you do for the planet, for your family, for humanity, for the environment? What feels good to you?
With this kind of imaginative thinking, your awareness starts to expand beyond the little ducks you have been chasing most of your life. Getting your ducks in a row is the first step in playing a much bigger game. When your ducks are in a row, when you are healthy, happy, secure, financially abundant, can you serve a much bigger purpose.
You, my friends, are truly magical beings capable of anything you desire. You deserve happiness. You deserve wealth. You deserve freedom. You deserve this not only for you and your family and those closest to you, but for the rest of the world that is waiting for you to unleash your genius. Go on, get on with it.
Yours in alignment of all things, ducks included,
Zoë

Featured Linkswww.ImagesofOne.com I came across this website after reading this fantastic book, Happy Pocket Full of Money. This book has had a deep impact on me and my own wealth consciousness. It explains so easily and clearly the quantum physics fundamentals behind wealth creation and indeed any other manifestation. The book is strong on fundamentals and philosophy, but also on practical strategies on how to manifest wealth. You cannot help but feel enthusiastic, confident, sure, positive, definite, in your ability to life a life if pure abundance after reading this book. And that's just the book! Images of One also offers a number of other products including CDs and a home study course that can keep you riveted on this path. More good stuff for your Money Mojo! I give this site and in particular the book two thumbs up. You won't be disappointed!
Book Review: Build Your Money Muscles by Joan Soatkin
I found this book heavy on the psychology at first. It examines much of the thoughts and belief patterns that underpin people's relationship to money and thus how their circumstances manifest as a result. The book got better as it went along however and I quite liked it by the end. Joan includes several practical activities and strategies to change sabotaging belief patterns, along with practical strategies to take control of your finances. There are some helpful extras such as a couple of recordings and downloadable exercise sheets to go along with the book.
This is a good beginner level's book for those who are just starting to raise their wealth consciousness and take control of their finances.

"Fear not that your life shall come to an end, but rather it shall never have a beginning." - Cardinal John Henry Newman
"The reason why so many young people live in fear of the future is because one day they will have to look back and ask themselves "what have I achieved?" And it is the overriding fear that they will have no answer that dominates and darkens their present insecure lives. Only if one can make each day end with the satisfied feeling that comes from attempting a worthy objective, will ones fears of the unknown years ahead recede and finally disappear." - Ralph Parker
"Fear is the static which prevents me from hearing my intuition." - Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself
