Hi Guys,<\/p>\n

Hope you had a lovely weekend despite all the crazy and disturbing stuff currently hitting our\u00a0world. I don’t internalize any of it because it is totally beyond my control. \u00a0Brexit, Turkey, Syria, Donald T. using his platform to market his hotels, etc. Then we have a big election today in Canada. I’ll be voting because my vote could be the one that counts. Who knows? If all that wasn’t enough excitement, New Zealand hammered poor Ireland in the rugby! Humiliating! Their worst defeat ever! But I won $10 on a scratch card, so things could be worse! Life really is a rollercoaster of ups and downs.<\/p>\n

So what has all of the above got to do with Coddiwomple<\/em><\/strong>? you may well ask. I came across this word recently in my FB travels and loved it! It means ‘to travel purposefully toward an as-yet-unknown destination’. I loved everything about it because it reminded me of how important it is to have a purpose in life – whatever it may be! And to remain grounded, despite all the disturbia\u00a0‘out there’.<\/p>\n

How do you stay grounded and peaceful in your life?<\/p>\n

The answer my friends is to Coddiwomple each day, and while you are busy coddiwompling, take time out for a nice pleasant cup of tea, a biscuit, silence, and a sweet reminder of your purpose…your passions, your dreams and raison d’etre. There will always be Disturbia in our world. But in your world, there can be Peace and Love…<\/p>\n

Wishing you all the joie de vivre your hearts can handle!<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
