Beauty: Body

I enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body several times a week.

I walk more steps each day.

More Christmas food… And a bit of Christmas dinking too.

I have been plagued by dizzy spells that I think are related to my cataracts. Thank goodness they’ll be taken care of early in 2018. I’m also finding the heat harder to deal with. And I am retaining more fluid, though that does come with Summer anyway.

Beauty: Presence

I have thick glossy hair that compliments my beautiful clothes.

I’m starting to feel very restless about my presence. I think it’s time to break out of block colours into patterns. Which makes it a bit of a shame that the fashion in store isn’t keeping up with me. Something else to add to the new year list. Along with taking my winter hat to be re-trimmed.

It might have been Christmas Party Outfits that started it.

Beauty: Home

I live in a comfortable home that soothes my soul.

Renovate bathroom

The new air-con is in, and working a treat. The dogs seem to appreciate it more than me – how lucky that cold air falls. I accidentally found out that double hung windows work by allowing hot air to flow out the top window (hot air rises) and drawing cool air in through the bottom. So obvious when you know how.

We’ve had a big clean up, and realised that we have some other decorating chores to add to our list. Things like painting, and replacing the carpet and so on. The kind of things that make you wonder if you are better off just moving house!

Beauty: Garden

My garden is lush and abundant, providing habitats, weather protection and a mystical threshold.

Landscape Garden

Friendship: Friends

I love meeting new people, and as I am friendly and outgoing, I make friends easily.

One of the main reasons I haven’t been productive this month is all the Christmas catchups I’ve been doing. I’ve been trying to get some in the calendar for next year as well.

But I did think about a Great Depression Dinner Party and a Stay in Touch Holistic Spending Plan.

Friendship: Creatures

My creatures are happy and healthy and find my garden a haven.

My precious pretty boy is looking the picture of health and I am so happy. Maybe it’s my imagination, but he seems particularly loving as if he knows. And he’s letting me brush him, which is not something he has previously enjoyed. But it does leave a lot of dog hair to collect.

We have an adorable baby magpie that chases an empty plastic plant pot around the deck. It’s so puppy/kitten-like cute, but it makes a really annoying squawking noise.

Friendship: Contribution

I share my knowledge, time, and money with those who need it.

Pleasure: Adventure

I am brave and adventurous not afraid to try new things.

Pleasure: Recharge

I work hard and have the right to rest and recharge.

I’m getting better at staying awake, but I heard on one of my podcasts that taking a nap during that afternoon slump is good for both productivity and creativity so I’m going to stop feeling guilty about it.

Apparently, it takes about 25 minutes for the caffeine in a cup of coffee to hit, so the thing to do is drink a cup before you nap so you wake up on schedule.

Wisdom: Growth

I learn and grow every day.

Wealth: Business Development

Select and attend a business-related conference or event – real not virtual.

Wealth: Income

I am a successful author making at least $1,000 per month.

During December 2017 I sold 11 books and received ~$8.51 in income (not yet converted). My average monthly sales are up to five (!) but income down to $15.49.

I still have a way to go, to meet my target, but I’m working on the next book.

Wealth: Expenditure
