Last week, Paul, Alex and I went to The Grove to see Bruno. I wasn’t ecstatic about the movie, but that was because I was sandwiched between two guys who were laughing so hard it was difficult to hear the film.
Paul was laughing so hysterically, I was worried he would fall off his chair, or break something.
There’s nothing [...]

Paul McKenna swears by the 80/20 rule.
Invented by Wilfred Pareto, a 19th century economist, the rule assumes that we wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, listen to 20% of our i-pods 80% of the time, get 80% of enjoyment from 20% of our friends, focus 80% of our time on 20% of our problems, and [...]

I’ve been on a doggie downer lately. I had a bit of bad luck and it spiralled into self pity and wallowing and I was focusing only on what wasn’t going right.
Now I’m following my own advice, which I love to dispense but forget to follow. This week I’m starting afresh and focusing on the good, [...]

Despite her recent upset, Clare is a big believer in love. It heals everything!
She has been saying I love you to everyone lately. I counted nine times in one day and it made my tail wag so hard when the same reply came back - I love you too. Love is the focus and the solution.

Clare, Al, Bentley and I drove to Big Bear and hiked the Cougar Crest Trail today.

About five years ago Clare went to see the amazing Psychic Anne Jirsh, who Paul McKenna swears by.
Anne does a scarily accurate process called a future life progression. She put Clare into a state of relaxation, similar to hypnosis, told her it was 5 years in the future and asked her to describe what she could see.
Clare said [...]

Clare had a nasty shock recently. We had dinner at Ceconni’s and were driving home when she pulled out of the driveway on to Robertson, braked to see if it was clear and shot forward into traffic. Somehow her heel got caught on the accelerator and despite braking we kept moving forward.
