What Do You Really Want?
I spent the week in bed with the flu. Fever, migraine headache, nausea, diarrhea, muscle pain…the whole blah package. So I had plenty of time to think: why was it taking me so long to start working on my Treasure Map? What was holding me back? Why wasn’t I more enthused about the game?
It turns out, I don’t know what I really want.
Oh, I know all the “stuff” I’d like to have, but what good is “stuff” if you don’t know what you want to do with the rest of your life?
I even came to a point where I wondered why I was blogging…and where I was going with this website. Of course, I’ve always been one to start a project, get all excited, eventually get bored, and quit. Been there many times, done that every time. But this time around, I want to keep at it. Because I believe this blog is exactly what I need to finally discover who I am…and what I really want.
How about you?
Do you know who you are?
Le Making Of could turn out to be more than I expected…

The bus seems so have gone a bit quiet while we all think about that. As we follow you on your journey, it becomes a personal journey for us too. This could be very interesting.

If you cannot face the map then take it down. There is nothing worse than facing something you cannot do – and it is not a failure just a fact. I have a bank calendar on my wall with our local swallowtail butterflies on it. That is my achievement map and so far this year I have achieved enough that the stickers are starting to sprout.
Forcing yourself will not help. Open yourself to LOA, see what happens.
Mardi Gras was the best day my Internet business has ever had. I am now going forward – if I don’t do another fantastic day this year, what does it matter, other stickers will come on the board as the asparagus comes up and gets cut, as the roses bloom and all the time I am moving forward.
Never do anything that feels wrong – you waste your energy which you need for better things.
Get well soon and see that empty wall in perspective.
If you don’t take it down, cover it in scarves, glitter and all the things that make up your wonderful personality. I hang my jewellery around one mirror and scarves adorn a very very old one.
Make your space yours – perhaps then you can go and find your treasure, but compared to your health it is immaterial.
Love and get well soon – Di

Hi Marilyn!
Don’t think TOO much.
Must remember to DANCE now and then.
Hugs always xoxo

Hey Di!
I’m so glad your Internet business is soaring. You go, girl! You’ve worked so hard at it, you deserve success and all the goodies that come with it. YESSSS!
And don’t worry, I’m not forcing anything. The map is still up and I now know how I’ll be proceeding with it — it will be half Treasure Map, half Discovery Map…or something like that.
But what you’ve described is somewhat the Old Me…I admit to forcing myself to do a lot of things in the past that I should have covered with scarves. LOL
If ever you want to share your Achievement Map with us — by taking a photo of it — I’d be happy to post it here. And maybe other people will follow and we could have a nice display.
Thanks so much for your comment. Very cool!
Big hugs always, xoxo
