#Meditation for the Day: Seize the Moment, Be Audacious
Think big and risk being eaten alive. One minute’s freedom is better than a lifetime of swimming around in circles. Fear not. There’s a fair chance your enemy is too focused upon small everyday things to notice your sudden metamorphosis; either that, or he might simply find you too hard to swallow.

Love it! Think big or risk being eaten alive . . . basically what my parents taught me many years ago, and I’ve never regretted following that advice. There have been countless failures along the way, but they are failures I can live with because, dammit all, I tried!
Wishing you a peaceful day of blessings, dear friend.
Now, dear Bill, if you read my comment on your latest post (made as you commented on mine), you’ll know that I’m having difficulty following my own advice and am attempting to conduct a spot of self-hypnosis with that meditation of mine! Peace and blessings to you, too x
Having written those words, I must now attempt to live by them! I’m contemplating setting up my own publishing company for offbeat fiction as a starter. Will tell you more when we chat.
I’ll be very pleased to think of you displaying a poster bearing my words on your wall.
Sorry I’ve not said “hi” back to you on fb messenger twice. Each time I was chatting with family and on Sunday, I was in the middle of video call with my daughter, granddaughter, and daughter’s partner, as they all wanted to wish me a happy Mother’s Day. We have a different day for this than you have in the US.
I did know that you have a separate day for Mother’s Day than ours. Not to worry about not replying to my ‘hi’s.’ I completely understand and wasn’t the least bit rattled.
I do hope we can chat one day in the not too distant future.
I’m looking forward to hearing about your publishing company.
I know, gals, I’ve been “disappeared” again… Internet troubles and life exigencies, and generally “stuckedness” with my writing. Just to let you know I’ve not gone to another planet. When my PC has been wired up to the modem, rather than dependent upon a flaky signal boosting device, I will then be in a position to blog and skype again. Today’s visit to WP has coincided with a rare good signal, so I thought to make the most of it.
Life and technology love to get in the way!
Glad you are on this planet (and if you’ve gone visiting another, do let’s have a chat so you.can tell us all about your trip 😉)
We’ll be here when you can!
Dear Andrea, I’m just looking at the date you posted your comment. Can’t believe that I’ve been away from blogland for two months. Many exigencies have kept me away, but hey-ho, the sun is shining and my mood has lifted somewhat, so here’s to audaciousness. Now I need my internet to work consistently, so I can catch up with my online friends and read my favourite blogs, such as yours, and post something new.
It seems it’s our year for “being away”, Andrea, as I’ve been away again! Hopefully I’ve returned properly now, but I remain wary of the gremlins and am very much hoping they’ll leave me in peace for a while.
Inese, sorry I’m only just replying to your comment of two months ago. As you will see, from my other comments, I’ve been having internet issues. I’m missing everybody and hoping to have a steady internet signal soon so I can catch up with all. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the summer and my garden, and taking my lovely dog on lots of walks. Wishing you all the best and hope to return soon xx
Inese, hopefully they’re sorted for the time being (she sayd, 2 month’s on!), but there’s certainly something to be said for engaging with real life! xxxx
