Moving forward


Margaret Whitlam has a phrase that she uses in her life when things get tough or embarrassing. For example, when she emerged from the car with Gough for a VIP event and her skirt fell down in front of the waiting media, she merely said, "Onwards".
I like her style, don't hold onto it, move onwards and let go as ASAP. Nobody cares, in fact Margaret did some good with her skirt around her ankles, its happens to everyone, no one is immune to life with its riches of wonder and shame.

I learnt today that a friend of mine has not only sold his gorgeous house but also the entire contents. The new owners liked everything so much they begged to buy every couch, bookshelf and table, rug and so on. So my friend and his wife only took with them special things and a sense of freedom [and a large amount of money!].When he told me today I screamed with laughter, he constantly keeps going up a level in every area of his life, because he and his wife say "yes" to every opportunity. He doesn't hang on to anything obviously, not physical nor emotional, he keeps allowing himself to be open to the abundance and the crazy stuff that life throws at you when you say "yes".
As he said, What does he care about a couch or a rug? Nothing! Start again, its funny and its fun! Good on him I say and ONWARDS!

Who are you without objects?
Hopeful I think. Living abundantly, waiting for better to come into your life than what you once had.
I imagine amazing things are going to happen for you. I am not fully comfortable with the idea of being a renounciate myself but I admire anyone wwho is. Maybe reading Down in Out in Paris and London by Orwell could be on your night stand at the moment, amazing book!
Thanks for reading the blog!
