Everydayhero Money Magnet site now open for business

4.30am and a very calm, beautiful morning. A slight breeze which was a blessing for my 10km run.
After my swimming yesterday I went to a friend's house for a very long lunch on their balcony. The views were stunning, looking over and through trees, the beach, and then the odd plane coming and going at a distance. The birds came to sit on the railing waiting to be fed. The babies were all fluffy and the parents looked almost regal, as they patiently sat. Our friends were telling us that the birds use to fly right into the house and steal shells. At first they started with the small ones and then they went for the bigger ones, you know the ones you put up to your ear to hear the sound of the sea. It all got a bit much and they had to be disciplined. Nature is an amazing thing, if only we could just let it be, and not get in the way of the flow. At one point, I was about to feed one bird, and then within a second there were 6 birds sitting in silence watching , so I fed one after the other. How did they know to come to the food. If only I could attract money to my fund like that. Maybe I can, maybe I have to change something I am doing so the energy around it changes so that my everydayhero site becomes a Giant magnet.The money magnet draws the one million dollars to it. www.everydayhero.com.au/mary_scott_2  Lets see if it works...

 Big Breath now.. Suck in Life....

Swimming today, and the day is beautiful and perfect for swimming... 

The thing that I am starting to get into is skipping. I have been so bad at skipping in the past, however, I have put it on my treasure map as something I want to improve. I stop and start all over the place as I am always tripping myself up. I think it will help with my running as I am so heavy on my feet.

John my hairdresser, who was a great boxer, is light on his feet, he moves so quickly and is light on his feet. I'm laughing at myself a bit now learning to run at 53 now learning to skip at 55. Good thing I have done therapy as I would be really wondering what my childhood was all about. Life is so exciting for me as I believe I have so much I can learn and so many more things to achieve before I bite the dust. 

Another one of my dreams is to do a lot of public speaking. I would love to travel and have speaking engagements around the world. I think I better get on with writing my book so at least I have something to sell as I go..

What about you, how are you going with formulating your goals for 2010? It's so good to have a plan so you know where you are going. Having goals, you can align yourself with what you want to achieve.
BE GREAT! Shine your light for all to see.....

Fund Raising evening Friday Feb 5th 7pm. Bring your friends...

Would you believe at 4.45am the rain was pouring down? I didn't want to wait today, so out I went to do my 10km run. It was refreshing, I can tell you, and I really enjoyed the experience.
I wanted to remind you all once again about my fundraising evening at Brandy Creek Wines on Friday, Feb 5th starting at 7pm. The evening is to be a Churrasco (Brazilian Flame Grill) $45 per person and that includes a glass of wine. If you wanted to check it out more go to http://www.brandycreekwines.com.au/  I'm looking for tables of people who are willing to come along, have fun, and support Carers of Alzheimer's. We will be having some fantastic Raffles on the night as well, so bring some change with you. All proceeds from the night will go to my everyday hero site.
To book, you need to ring me with how many of your friends you are bringing along to support this very worthy cause.
Today I am going to review my Treasure Map, to make sure I am completely satisfied with it, as I am planning on having a very successful 2010.

Go Big! Be Great! Make the most of each and every day because you just don't know who's life you are impacting on by being you.

8km today and pouring rain delayed my session

There I was, all ready to go at 5am, and down came the rain, thundering on the tin roof, and I was thinking will I, won't I,......  At the end after all the mind chatter I decided to wait. Finally at 5.50am the rain turned itself off just like a tap. It's funny as I saw all the regular faces this morning even though I was much later than other mornings. I had this picture in my mind of us all standing in our homes watching at the window for it to stop so we could get on with our activities.
I have had quite a few questions about my Treasure Map, which I have to say, is still a work in progress. Some of you reading this will have participated in my Treasure Map workshops in the past and you will have already completed your Map for 2010! For the rest of you, maybe I need to run a workshop for you once I am back in Victoria. We could spend a Saturday together sharing ideas and creating great Maps and get excited about the year ahead,(just in case you are not excited yet!)

Remember, "What we think we Become" 

What I like about Treasure Maps is you can put all your thoughts down on cardboard and then you can become it. What do you think about that? ......Be Great!

Treasure Map Day Today

I slept in today until 6am which was a treat. Went to the produce market to enjoy the delights of fresh food and even sampled the food offered. Came home with a very full trolley of goodies.
The rest of the day I have spent working on my Treasure Map, and even though I have been hard at it, it is still a work in progress. I have been creating treasure maps since 1989, and I believe they are a very powerful tool to use in your life to give your dreams and goals form. Give the dreams and goals form through the use of art, words, or photos or anything that will stick to the card really. I believe it helps me to visualize exactly what I want and the direction I am heading. Remember, that is what I have been doing with regard to running the Boston Marathon. So it works! 

Most of the time I did not know how it was going to happen, I just knew it would!!
Well, I better get back to it... Maybe now you will get on and do it for yourself... Don't believe a thing I am saying. 

Do a Treasure Map for yourself, dream big, and then watch the magic happen for you!
Be Awesome! Keep Smiling & remember to Dream Big its worth it...

16 Weeks to Go to my Dream to Run The Boston Marathon

A 4.15am start this morning. It was still dark, although the kookaburras were busy singing and welcoming me to the wonderful morning that awaited me. Fuel belt on with my 3 drinks on board, ipod on so I couldn't hear the noise of my breathing when the going gets tough. Unfortunately today I wore some new sox and they were not as good as my tried and trusted so my left foot is a bit sore now. No blister just a bit sore. Quite humid as well and my arms chaffed. That's what I get for carrying that extra weight on my arms. After my shower the coconut oil on to help the redness on the lower parts of my arms. 

17 kms this morning. One of the joys on my run this morning was watching some Pelicans. It was quite a sight as they flew over my head, and landed on the river below.
I was thinking this morning about the journey I am on and how important the journey is when you are in training for a particular goal. It really is all about the journey, and I intend to get as much out of this as possible. I notice I learn so much more every day I'm on it, or should I say in the experience of the journey. 

What about you? What's your journey? what are you learning about? What are you striving for? Think about that! Last thing "What are you prepared to do to get it?"

Start as you mean to go on in 2010

I love that saying "Start as you mean to go on!" 

When I awoke this morning the birds were singing, the pool outside my bedroom doors was sparkling and inviting. The day felt new and exciting, and I'm very excited about this wonderful year of 2010.
I am about to start cutting all my bits out of magazines for my Treasure Map. I bought the cardboard and I'm all set to go. I have made some notes on my phone, so once I start I will have a fantastic map of how this year will turn out for me. The biggest challenge I have when I do these is how big am I prepared to dream? I think this year I am really going to go for it and go all out for something HUGE.

Yes, thinking big is the way to go...
What about you? Have you thought about 2010 and how you will spend your time? What big dreams do you have? What are you prepared to do to realize those dreams?
I have been thinking about this quite a bit today. What am I prepared to do to make this year really rock!
I will get very clear about my intentions, as I know how important that is for me. 

Energy follows intention.

Get Laser-focused on your Goals and never take your eyes off where you are going. 

Be Awesome, it works!

I always have a reason to get out of bed in the morning. What will you choose?
