(WARNING – this post is looooooong but contains some great music. You’re welcome)
Part 2 of the list

Another thing on my 101 things to do list. This was waaaay harder than I thought it would be. Create a playlist of 101 songs I love and could listen to over and over and over again. Certain songs were a given cause they have special memories attached (like Tusk by Fleetwood Mac and Whenever, wherever by Shakira) and others are songs that always seem to end up in my playlists pretty much every time.

So. Here they are. My 101 favourite songs. In no particular order (cause that would have made it even harder). I’ve even been nice and linked up to the YouTube videos (where available) for you.

We’re a happy team….

at Hawthorn.
We’re the Mighty Fighting Hawks.
We love our Club, and we play to win,
Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn).
Come what may, you’ll find us striving
Team work is the thing that talks,
One for all and all for one
Is the way we play at Hawthorn.
We are the Mighty Fighting Hawks.

Well done boys – 2013 has been the year of the Hawk. Looking forward to Monday and seeing the Cup for the second time in 5 years.

Beat the price rise

So I share about Leonie Dawson’s Amazing business & Life academy a bit and I thought I’d give you a quick heads up that if you want to join, now is the time. Prices will be going up from $199 to $497 on 1 October.

If you join now you’re locked in at the current price as long as you keep your membership going. That’s right – if you’re already a member, you’ll be able to keep your membership price for the lifetime of your membership.

And Leonie is the best because as well as the one off payment she also offers a payment plan (it’s how I pay – spreads the cost over a couple of months)

By joining the academy you get access to all the awesome ecourses, meditations and both the business and life versions of the 2014 Create Your Amazing Year workbook, planner + calendar

Selfies

I hate having my photo taken. I’m nearly always the one behind the camera. And then a post by Tina really struck a chord with me and then a few days later she started the #tgdmselfieaday idea. Posting a selfie everyday in August.

I’ll let Tina explain it herself….

“I started a little hashtag
called #tgdmselfieaday
I thought I would be on my own
But my interweb friends came to play.
It all began with Mrs Woog
who wanted to know why women were bitches
And then this post on TGDM
because my fingers got the twitches.

In no time at all
and with no delays
we now have over 200 selfies
taken over the August days.

Seeing the faces of interweb friends
is one I think is fun
And if I’ve helped someone pop their selfie cherry
my job here is done.”

I managed to do a selfie every day in August except for 2, which I thought was pretty good actually. Think I’m inspired to do them more often. Thanks Tina, you’ve created a selfie monster LOL
