Beautiful perspectives on September 2018 has been a bit of a long time coming. This wasn’t because I didn’t have any. It was/is due to exhaustion. The last four weeks have been very “full on”. We had a magazine issue being published at the same time as preparing for my More To Life Webinar. Both of which coincided with writing a blog a day about my slant on the WCW daily themes. I managed to get through the week by letting everything else slip. It’s taken a little longer to catch up because spoons needed to be managed carefully.
However, in the middle of October I am now in a position to reflect back on September. It’s a bit of a strange month because my usual schedule of three blogs a week was changed mid-month. So, there wasn’t a “Creating” Monday 10th. I didn’t share my “Beautiful Perspectives” on Wednesday 13th. The week didn’t finish with a look at why existence can be hard or easier when …
However, there’s still a lot to go through so buckle up your seatbelts and we’ll get started …
In September I created …
The month started off by giving our pups new and beautiful dog beds which has made their and our existence a lot easier. I then had at why it’s OK To Wobble even at a time where there is so much support within the community. Finally, I announced how you can start Creating YOUR New Beautiful Existence with the help of my new virtual course.
During September my beautiful perspectives were…
There were only two beautiful perspectives in September because I wrote something different on Wednesday 13th [more about that later]. I started off sharing my thoughts on the creativity of camels, yes camels! Because some of you may have been inspired to try your hand at writing a “letter from your heart” I decided to look at the benefits of emotional writing.
Existence during September can be …
Shame is something that I think we all feel at some stage or another no matter where we are in our “journey.” Moving forward can be incredibly difficult if you are still battling with shame. On a more positive note existence is easier if you have laughter in your life.

Andrew is the first to admit that he is not a naturally writer. He’s also been a little hesitance about being too visible in the Canbace Diaries because he knows that some people may feel upset about his story. Following on from the encouragement that Andrew has received about the three blogs that he wrote during September he has gained confidence. So much so that he is going to write at least one Man-ortity Report a month. He is also considering re-branding “Childless Island Disks” into “Canbace Life Soundtracks” which will also be published once a month.
There are rumblings afoot that some #CanbaceLife Twitter Chats scheduled to make it easier for Twitterers living in Australia and New Zealand would be welcomed. These would be scheduled for Tuesday afternoon/evening “down under” at a time which is approximately 8am for us. If enough people let me know that they would like an additional time for #CanbaceLife Twitter Chat Andrew and I are happy to co-host it. You can contact us on Twitter. My ID is @CanbaceLife whilst Andrew is the typing behind @TheCNBCMagazine.
Be kind to yourself …
In CANBACE friendship!
