Every now and again, the universe sends me a special gift.

This morning, as I prepared my latest TED “playlist” from the 170+ amazing TED talks by amazing TED women, I stumbled on this gem: a TEDx talk by creator Amy Rosenthal.

Rosenthal is a truly magical force: a writer, filmmaker, radio host, author of more than 12 children’s books, and creator of The Beckoning: A Feature Film

Two Years Old Today: Happy Birthday AWR Blog!

birthday_cakes_2.pngThis blog is officially a toddler.

It's come a long way since my first-ever entry aptly entitled Like A Virgin?

Who knows what the year of the “terrible twos” will offer, but if the past is any indication of what lies ahead, it’s bound to be an exciting time….

In yet another universal paradox, hardly anything has changed since last year’s birthday blog post. On the other hand, everything

How To Make A Beautiful Life: A Message From The Universe, And My Mom

Posted by Susan in the universestrugglespiritualitysharingpositive thinkingpeacemelovelearningjoyinspirationhopehearthappinessgoalsgirlsfeelingsfamilydreamsconnectionattitude

mom_pink_dock.jpgThe universe speaks to me constantly.

If I don’t pay attention, or listen well enough, it tends to shout. Deafeningly. Just lke I felt my Mom (pictured at left in 2009), sometimes did when I was a kid.

Still, I often don’t hear. Just like I didn't as a chlld.

My friends Elaine and Gray kindly agreed to host me at their place for two weeks while my villa mate Tricia welcomes family and friends at “ours” (it’s her villa really, I just have a room there, but that’s another story).

Elaine, Gray, and Elaine’s son Phil are in Oman for the Eid holiday, so I’m in charge of their two dogs Poppy and Gypsy. They’re good dogs. Most of the time.

Happy Birthday To My Blog Which Is One Year Old Today

One year ago today, I wrote my first-ever blog entry (Like A Virgin?), in which I joined "the millions online who share their joys, sorrows, thoughts, ideas, opinions and more, in a worldwide orgy of information."

At the time, I thought it marked the end of a journey, and so I wrote:

What could I do? I had to investigate :)

It’s hard to know where to begin. Or whom I should thank first.

With Terry Netto of People Potential? For inviting me to the February Initiatives of Change conference held in Kuala Lumpur? If it hadn’t been for that invitation, I wouldn’t have come to Malaysia this year in the first place.

Terry connected me to Susanna who in turn introduced to me to an impressive list of amazing

The imagery is stunning.

The music is the same as the soundtrack at the start of Forrest Gump, one
