If I Could ... #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #SuzysIlation

This week I thought I would truly chat with you face to face.  I've been wanting to do this for a while now but didn't feel the need to and frankly didn't have the courage to. But today the need arose as I haven't finished editing my other videos. So without thinking too much, I got stuck into it.

Whenever I hear If I could, 2 songs come to mind: Cher's If I Could Turn Back Time and the Simon and Garfunkel's El Condor Pasa (If I Could).

So grab a cuppa and join me on a chat about turning back time. 

on my youtube channel:     https://youtu.be/VePpR3mkXdM

Today's vlog wasn't easy and I had so many bloopers along the way - brain fades, bad lighting etc. I almost gave up but the option of not posting anything was enough of a catalyst to keep trying. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed chatting with me. 

Today's vlog was prepared for #LifeThisWeek  Denyse, I hope I pronounced your name correctly. If not, my sincere apologies. 

What would you do if you could turn back time?  Share in the comments below and have an awesome week.

What's the Time Mr Wolf?

There was a time when I could have confidently said I am a morning person. Getting up early in the morning was a piece of cake but staying up late at night was a Herculean task.

But now I no longer know as I seem to do both with ease or not just depends on the time of year. In Winter waking up early and staying up late seems near impossible. Yet in Summer my eyes open up before the alarm goes off and sleep eludes me until late at night.

Perhaps my body is tuned in to circadian rhythms or perhaps I was a bear in a previous life. I think bears have got it right; hibernating in Winter seems like the perfect thing to do.

So what's the time Mr Wolf?  Share your time of day.

Me Time

There are all kinds of days occurring - Compassion Day, Women's Day, Compliments Day and now to add to that list March 16 was #MeDay, a day for just me to spend as I want by myself.

Now if March 15 had Me Day and if I would've written my post then, I would have ended up with a completely different post full of me.

But yesterday was a sad day. My dear aunt passed away after suffering Alzheimer's for about 7 years.  Me day takes on a different meaning and losing someone so dear to us highlights that it is people who make my life worthwhile and happy,

So while I enjoy time meditating, blogging, doing the things I like doing, I think for me the best moments of my time are also spent with people around me. Does that sound strange?  It isn't for me.  I like to have my family around me. They don't disturb me when I'm doing my things, but having them around makes me feel good.

I don't crave for a Me day or Me time.  I like having my people around me.

And if I really really want some time to myself, my ipod and the music can take me into a different world.   But I don't need to shut myself away, I can do that even with my people around me.

So how would you describe your Me time?

Time and Karma

This week's prompt at GBE2 is on TIME
and  at the  Blogging for Fun is on KARMA

I combined the two into one post, as my thoughts on both prompts are inter-linked.



My thoughts on TIME

T  = take some time off to stop and smell the roses.

I   =  irreversible so make the best of each moment.

M = make memorable moments that will live forever.

E = evanescent yet eternal. So believing in karma and cause and effect and that our actions
       are accumulated across lifetimes, I need to use it wisely to always act in ways that are
       enriching for all.
     


My thoughts on KARMA

K = kindness will be repaid in many wonderful ways.

A = act altruistically and in a way that is beneficial to all because all actions have consequences.

R = the Universe rewards and reprimands. Detach from outcome (rewards and retribution)
       and let God take care of that.

M = thoughts manifest, make them magnificent - this is essence of the law of attraction and I also
        believe of Karma (cause and effect).

A = there are no accidents or chance events, we are all part of a collective consciousness.
       My actions affect all others and vice versa. The Upanishads (Hindu philosophical texts)
       sum this up well in these words:

"When a blade of grass is cut, the whole Universe quivers".

Warm Regards
