Hello again. Well. This topic is not exactly the same as last year’s, but my answer would still be largely the same. You can read about what I will do with a billion dollars here.

A lot of the time, we live in a place of fear. Fear is usually a strong emotion, making it very easy to manifest our fears.  I don’t believe fear can bring you such good fortune, but I am really keen to find out if I am mistaken. Were the winners just feeling very positive at the time of buying the ticket, or did they spend some time visualising themselves in the space where they had already won a few weeks before they were successful? I must admit, I keep forgetting to visualise my desires every night before I sleep, as Neville Goddard recommends, so success might take a little longer for me than most.🤪

If you happen to know anyone who appears to be constantly “lucky”, please let us know what you or they believe is the reason behind their good fortune.

Thanks for popping by. Be Blessed.

What books do you want to read?

A topic about books! Whoo Hoo! I could write about books for days…lol I will keep it short though.

My top 5 books that I would like to read this year are as follows:

  • The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes. I read I Am Pilgrim when it launched, loved it, and had given up hope that this book would ever be published. It’s been almost nine years. I hope it’s worth the wait.
  • Educated by Tara Westover – this book was recommended by a fellow blogger earlier this month. I am looking forward to getting a copy.
  • Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain. I have owned this book since it launched, and I think it is finally time for me to read it. (Do you also believe that every book has its time?)
  • Women Who Run With Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I am just curious about this book.
  • Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. I have yet to finish his biography of Einstein, and I would also like to get through this book. Da Vinci was a fascinating person.

What are you looking forward to reading this year? I have set myself a goal of 45 books this year, so I am open to recommendations.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

Ooh, there are lots of attractions that are pretty close to home that are still on my bucket list. In fact, as I am writing this, I am asking myself what is really stopping me from ticking at least some of them off this year??? Feels like a new goal is brewing…

Giba Gorge

This is a beautiful nature reserve that has a mountain bike park as well as hiking trails. They have a restaurant, although I think there are also picnic sites. It’s about a 40-minute drive from my home, so it’s not too far away. My friends and I have planned a hike in the next week or two, and I am really hoping we do go.
