Most of us do what we do in order to be happy, but how often are we actually happy?

Part of the problem is that we've picked up unrealistic beliefs and expectations along the way. Luckily, this means that by exploring them, we can let go of those that don't support us, and we'll become happier.

While nobody can be happy all the time, by gradually letting go of old unhelpful habits, we can find ourselves far happier and more content.

This will reduce stress, improve our health, as well as our relationships. After all, it's so much more fun being around somebody who's happy!

This work can be done in person, but it's usually done online, to save travel time. I use Skype, or Whatsapp or similar, whatever works best for you.

I used to be very anxious, but after much focus and practice of these ideas, I'm so much happier than I used to be. It might not happen overnight, but it does happen. The funny thing is that the happier I get, the better my life becomes!

If you have any questions, let me know. This is simple work, but very powerful.

Silver Canon Ixus 240HS 16.1 mega pixel digital camera. Small, lightweight, slimline. Comes with battery charger, 4GB SD card, soft cloth carry pouch and original receipt.

The camera can take videos. You will need an adapter to plug the charger into an Australian power point.

Yes Trees can provide us with healing.  I am one who heals them.  They get sick when the area they are in is sick or dark.  They can be an indicator of dark energy in this way. Trees, plants and the earth all suffer when an area is dark or unbalanced. I heal or balance the energy of any dark space in your yard or your street.  A dark space can be where you cannot plant anything as the plants suffer and die.  It could also be an area you are afraid of walking through or being near etc. When it comes to water it can be that it is stagnant or smells bad. I can correct this as well. 

Can be hung on the wall if required. Rate depends on size (XS,S,M,L) From U30 -55. Limited number of one off designs available. Pics are example only.

One-off bowls for breakfasts, buddah bowl, soup, pasta etc. Suitable for dishwasher use and microwave if no gold on them. Pics are examples only

This battery is from a electric lawn mower battery pack. See the image for specs and other details.

Recently tested at Battery Works and is holding charge just fine. Only reason for selling is that they recommend not using an older battery with a new one (so I had to buy two and not use this one).

Pick up in Coopers Plains or at a Market Trading Day.

It seems many are leaving us at the moment. Losing somebody dear is one of the hardest experiences in life. Friends offer their condolences, but often don't know quite what to say. Some even stay away, due to their own discomfort.

I might be able to help you make some sense of what's going on. Whether for a recent loss, one soon to come, or simply facing your own mortality, there are many ways to ease the confusion and pain.

I'm not attached to any particular faith, so I'm not going to move you in that direction, or even towards another. Just present possibilities that you might not have considered before.

I've presented a course on Death and Dying at the u3a, the University of the Third Age. No, that doesn't mean I know all the answers, but I do have some pretty good questions to share.

I've also trained and worked in hospice, where people are encouraged to explore deeply during their last period of life.

After initially being petrified of death as a child, I've spent decades studying the issue. Not only various religious and spiritual belief systems, but also insights from science, and processes such as Near Death Experiences, Past Life Regression, Shared Death Experiences, and many other sources of wisdom.

I don't claim to know the ultimate truth. Those who know that don't come back. Not for a while, anyway.

But I know that for myself, I've moved from ultimate terror to a sense of peace. I'm in no hurry to move on myself, but I do feel comfortable that when the end comes, I'll be relatively peaceful.

That's what I hope to share with you: a sense of peace, and an understanding that perhaps there's more to death and dying than we've been taught, especially in the West.

Here, death is the last taboo. Do we have the courage to face it directly, to explore it, and make some kind of sense of it, before our time comes?

If you're not sure about this offer, feel free to contact me for a chat, to see if you resonate with what I have to share.

Do you want to travel, but don't like the idea of going away by yourself? If so, I might be able to help.

I can join you on your adventure, in return for having my travel paid for. A big ask? Maybe!

I'm well travelled myself, have lived on 5 continents, and speak the basics of 6 languages. I can recommend places to visit, and ways to get there, depending on your likes and wants.

I've also learned how to travel well on a budget, so I can help you save money on your trip as well. It's amazing what options are out there!

I can also help you stay healthy and fit and safe while travelling, which has always been a high priority for me.

I'm a very good listener, part time life coach, actor and film maker, and love good conversation. I can be amusing at times, and have written comedy scripts, as well as performed on stage in musical comedy.

I won't be everybody's cup of tea, but if you're curious about the idea, let's have a chat, and see how we get on.

NB: this offer is strictly platonic.

p.s. If you know of a friend who might appreciate some good company while travelling, please pass this offer onto them. Thanks.

I can teach you how to get fit and healthy in under half an hour a day.

You won't need to eat boring food, nor spend hours a day in a gym.

I'm 53, and race up tall buildings for fun, so it IS possible.

Contact me now and we can figure out a path for you.

BTW, I'm a trained life coach, with a Cert IV in Fitness as well.

If so, I can help. I've been designing Wordpress websites for nearly 20 years, both for clients, friends, and myself. Wordpress runs on nearly a third of the mos popular websites in the world, and it's easy to learn and use, even for novices. After I've set up your website, you can take over as much or as little of future changes as you like. It's relatively easy to learn, which is why it's by far the most popular system online. Contact me now if you'd like to find out more.

Have you heard about the ketogenic diet and want to know what all the fuss is about for weight loss and several health improvements such as high energy, mental clarity?

Want to attend a live event where you can learn healthy food hacks such as low-carb pizza, low-carb shepard's pie, healthy and quick ice-cream or mayonaise, and learn to make deserts without any sugar or flour?

Attend a live cooking demonstration

First event is taking place in Strathpine on 6th of April at 2pm. Please contact me urgently if you'd like to attend as there is only room for one more person. You can take home food samples of whatever we cook.

Each workshop is limited to 5 people and I plan to hold many others in the future. Please reach out if you would like to be notified of upcoming events.

Please note

I am not a nutritionist and am only sharing my success with the ketogenic approach to weight loss. I have been keto for over 3 years and am still loving it.

Please see my other ad for ketogenic coaching.

More info about the ketogenic diet

Excerpt from Dr. Axe website

"The ketogenic diet (or keto diet) has been practiced for more than nine decades (since the 1920s) and is based upon a solid understanding of physiology and nutrition science.

The keto diet works for such a high percentage of people because it targets several key, underlying causes of weight gain — including hormonal imbalances, especially insulin resistance coupled with high blood sugar levels, and the cycle of restricting and “binging” on empty calories due to hunger that so many dieters struggle with. In fact, these are some of the direct benefits of the keto diet."

[https://draxe.com/guide-to-keto-diet-for-beginners/]

So how does it work in practice?

With the keto diet you do not have to be counting calories, limiting portion sizes, resorting to extreme exercise or using lots of willpower. It works because it changes the very “fuel source” that the body uses to stay energized: namely, from burning glucose (or sugar) to dietary fat. Once your body is making ketones it is said to be in a state of “ketosis”. Once your body consistently uses ketones to generate energy it is said to be fat-adapted resulting in consistent, fairly quick weight loss until it reaches a healthy and stable weight.

To do the keto diet you:

• Reduce intake of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, all sugars, cookies, cerials, and most grains).
• Increase your consumption of healthy fats, which help create a sense of feeling full.
• Without glucose coursing through your body, it’s now able to produce and burn ketones and use it as a cleaner burning fuel.

It often helps to have a friend to talk to about what's keeping you awake at night; someone who is separate from the issues you are faced with; someone who will listen like a friend and allow you to be heard without fear of judgement. The gift of emapthy, compassion and listening to bring inner peace is my natural gift to the world and it is my heart-felt pleasure to offer this to You in a safe, confidential space. Please note, this is not a professional counselling or psychotherapy service. In some cases, I may recommend a person seek professional advice or support when the need is evident. I am currently available to meet in person locally (Brisbane Western suburbs as of Nov 2018) or connect via telephone, by appointment. Everyone needs someone to share their thoughts and feelings, at one time or another. It's okay to give yourself permission to reach out to someone you can trust, and open your heart to welcome the kindness you will receive, in return.

For those who want help with injuries or long term ailments. More of a sports, and physiotherapy type approach. Includes trigger pointing, and myofascial release.

Nowadays more people are looking at ways to live more socially and efficiently, both financially and environmentally.

I provide a consutlation service that can provide a real-life introduction to cooperative house-sharing and intentional and sustainable community living practices. Based on real-life, in-house experience and considerable research, learning and field trips, my knowledge can save you considerable time and trouble.

Whether are you a beginner or well-versed in this area, I can provide guidance and direction tailored to your particular interest. You may be interested in joining a community, or starting a house-sharing arrangement. Or you may already be in a household or community that could be more functional and cooperative. Is there waste due to lack of caring and attention to detail? Are members harbouring resentments that hold the group’s happiness and economy back?

Consultations begin with a free half-hour over the phone to ascertain your needs and a suitable way forward, if any. Thereafter, the hourly rate is Us40. Initially, I will invite you to a guided tour of my working model of house-sharing, either in person or over the Internet. Depending on your requirements, I provide information and documents for running a fair, shared living and working environment that I call TemptyTrust. Each A4 document provided is Us10 each. There are up to about 24 pages that may be useful to you.

Your prospects wonder, 'WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?'

Writing effective copy for your marketing materials -- web content, newsletter, brochures, flyers, reports etc -- is harder than you think.

Your goods or services may be fabulous, but your potential clients or customers don't want to hear about that; instead, they really want to know how you can help them ACHIEVE THEIR DREAM OR SOLVE THEIR PROBLEM.

I've been trained to help you create persuasive messages that answer these questions.

I focus on the BENEFITS of your product or service, using everyday language that's easy to understand.

Then I finish by giving them their marching orders: a strong, clear call to ACT NOW.
