live a life I love

while I was reading Barbara Sher’s book “Live a Life You Love”. Reading the goal doesn’t have the same energy it used to so time to retire it.

put “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” in my Netflix queue awhile back and totally forgot about it. It came in the mail yesterday so I watched it this morning. I haven’t seen it since I was probably 10 so it was a real kick to see it again as adult! I didn’t know until I saw it in the credits the book was written by Ian Fleming! And the film was produced by Albert Broccoli – the guy who did all the Sean Connery Bond films. Which may explain the presence of Gert Frobe as Baron Bomburst :) There were many more musical numbers than I remembered. The Childcatcher, oooooh, shiver! It was completely wonderful to see it again; great story, real characters, beautiful locations, great Production values in fact I think I’ll buy it on DVD so I can watch it repeatedly.

“clearing the decks” and working with my Allies. Joe Goldberg where had a cool post about the Hero’s Journey and I notice that allies and mentors play an important role! Getting rid of 10 things every day is helping to clear space and put an end to visual clutter. Want to work with my Allies in the morning at bedtime and throughout the day. Need to set reminders somehow until this is a solid habit.

in Sher’s book “Live the Life You Love”. Just a few small changes from the first two chapters has made every day more enjoyable. Instead of staring at the ship’s deck as I go on my journey – I am noticing the beautiful weather, the roll of the sea, the occasional dolphin leaping before the bow, islands I can stop and explore, constellations at night I’ve never seen.
