I’ve got a story to tell..

17/01/2012 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Maya Angelou We've all got a powerful story to tell and share with the world but often in this fast paced world we are simply too busy to tell it or tell it properly and so have allowed situations, circumstances or other people to do the telling. The one thing that we have disctinct from anyone else that truly demonstrates our uniqueness is our story. Taking time to acknowledge it, embrace it and share it with others are powerful milestones on the road to success. Don't … [Read more...]

It’s a boat!

16/01/2012 By carolepyke 2 Comments

"A Ship is safe in harbor but that's not what ships are for." William Shedd Looking at this boat in someone's back yard not only reminded me of this quote but also that sometimes we stay within our comfort zone just to be safe but that's not what life is supposed to be about. Sometimes we have to chart a course outside of that comfort zone and allow the wind to catch our sail. … [Read more...]

Walk a mile in my shoes!

13/01/2012 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

When nothing goes right....Go left! I'm having fun taking photos of seemingly random things. I was walking along and saw these shoes staged just like this with no owner in sight. It seemed to carry an important message. We never know what is going on in someone else's world and will never really know until we walk a mile in their shoes. Just this thought alone frees us up from judgement and gives us the freedom to live our lives more purposefully. … [Read more...]

Sometimes it’s not that bad!

12/01/2012 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

It's always good to have a different perspective on things. Sometimes things are not as bad as they seem. You just need to look at them differently! I'm sure this statue of Golda Meir in Manhattan New York wishes the pigeon would find somewhere else to sit! … [Read more...]

And the Dalai says…

02/01/2012 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

When asked the question what surprised him most about humanity the Dalai Lama answered: "Man Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." … [Read more...]

New Year new approach!

Welcome in 2012 with The Divalicious Times

It's a new year and we are blessed with a new canvas stretched out before us. Our mission is simply to fill it with colour and animation, as simple as that! But it is this simplicity that gives us the greatest challenges. How many resolutions have you, broken all before the year has really gotten started, how many plans have been aborted through too many challenges and obstacles? What would you need to do to make this year your best year yet? What is that essential ingredient that will guarantee on 31 December you are raising a glass of … [Read more...]

Healing and restoration

02/01/2012 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

Whoever said that business was just about facts and figures forgot the vital role emotions play in the scheme of things. I had thought that the breakdown of my relationship with my father had nothing to do with business and was something I could learn to live with but at inappropriate moments issues of value and self-worth reared their ugly heads and all roads of ‘blame’ seemed to lean in my father’s direction. I realized that the only way forward was for healing and restoration to take place and so I prayed for Divine intervention and … [Read more...]

Stand Tall!

27/10/2011 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." Abraham Lincoln Our shadows are always with us we just need to connect with something greater than ourselves to see it. We are so much bigger than how we are currently operating and in the words of the great Marianne Williamson "your playing small does not serve the world" Even if the sun is not shining on you today, stand up tall and live from your 'bigness' … [Read more...]

It all starts with a K.I.S.S

27/10/2011 By carolepyke Leave a Comment

Now isn't that a nice thought! But that's not what I am talking about. K.I.S.S is a powerful acronym for Keep It Simple Stupid, a powerful reminder not to over complicate things. It occurs to me that the more complex we make things the longer it takes us to get it done. Think about it we can only ever make one decision at a time yet we are always trying to make as many as possible and in quick succession. Not sure what I mean here is an example. When you get up in the morning you only have one decision to make, do you get out of … [Read more...]

Sometimes the amount of work doesn’t matter!

A child and their scooter at the Scoop in London

This young child was busily trying to get his scooter onto the steps. Happily unaware of the amount of effort and energy it would take to get it all the way up to mum and dad. What was driving him was his desire and passion. Sometimes the most important lessons are those simple ones from the children. Remember your passion and the desires of your heart and nothing will seem like hard work. … [Read more...]
