So in view of it being September and me being a little old for buying a new pencil case and going back to school I still thought I should try something 'new' and learn something (that wasn't baking, needle point etc...). So open to new ideas a friend and colleague suggested a seminar at the School of Life entitled ' Realise your Potential' which I envisioned my include mung beans, bells and chanting but I was pleasantly surprised....
On arriving there was wine - good wine! GOOD food - breads, cheeses, pancetta and slabs of lemon cake I had found my Mecca! And then the session started with this lovely man who was tall, willow like with a posh accent who was wearing clothes he had made himself apparently? The session was in this amazing white room with walls covered in animations
that were made to look like you were in your living room.
The session made no religious references, it was calming, reassuring and made you think about things differently. Did you know nettles have longer threads than Egyptian cotton? Helped make army clothes in the 1st World War? Or has more iron than spinach?
I'm not going to waffle anymore but this session was a real eye opener for the biggest skeptic and the lemon cake was magic :)

On a shallow note I have found the most beautiful pair of boots that are patent, crocodile skin style and shall be on my feet when taking the next steps to realising my potential hee hee...
Well everyone needs to have new boots!! I just bought a new laptop to realize my potential =P
ReplyDeleteAnd stop me if this sounds slightly self-centered and arrogant but I already know my own potential. What I need is a seminar which shows others my potential! Heheheee....
It would be nice to have my lemon cake and eat it too!
Oh and speaking of Karma! My agency bought into work some doughnuts. I shared them out among our co-workers until there were none left. One of my colleagues asked if I had got one and I said no, but it was alright as I didn't really want one. And then when I got home, my lovely husband had bought 8 of the most delicious chocolate and vanilla filled doughnuts I have ever eaten! I scoffed 3 as I felt they were my reward of being so generous before hand!
ReplyDeleteAnd so I think that good and bad Karma really do exist! If you give up your doughnut now - you might get many more even better ones later on!
