April 3rd, 2003. I remember it as if it were yesterday …
“Okay girls … we’re nearly ready to go! I have my shopping list and handbag, the nappy bag is stocked up, I have a drink for each of us and some food, and there are a few toys and books for you to play with in the car in case you get bored.
Oh yeah! It’s Aunty Amanda’s birthday today! I’ll just give her a quick call before we go then we’ll be in the car and on our way” …
A Blast From The Past
I love writing poems and have written many over the years. If you’ve read all my posts so far on this blog, you’ll have worked that out already! 
When the inspiration for a poem strikes me, I just go with it and write until I can’t write anymore. Then there are the times that I choose to write a poem about a particular subject, so I’ll put my thinking cap on and come up with as many words and ideas around the subject as I can, then go from there.
How to Migrate (Export and Import) Posts and Comments Files From One WordPress Blog to Another
First, let me give you a little bit of background regarding why have I written this post for you today:
When I began blogging (online) a couple of years ago, I felt a bit weird about having a blog (or any site for that matter!) in my own name. It just felt funny to me and even though I could see that there were already many people with blog sites in their own names, I just wasn’t comfortable having one at that point in time. I guess it was just a bit too “out there” for me at the time and I simply felt too self conscious to go down that path. I did go and buy my domain name though (www.kyliedoak.com), I just didn’t use it for quite a while!
Have You Made Your List of Dreams Yet?
While that may sound silly to some, having a list of dreams (or goals) and having those dreams actually written down, is a crucial step in you being able to achieve them.
Please note, when I say they have to be written down, YOU need to write them down, not have someone else write them down for you.
How many times have you gone grocery shopping without a list and returned home to find that while you’d bought all sorts of things that you did need, you didn’t come home with the item(s) that you went to the shop for in the first place?!
Synchronicity: Random Coincidences … or Not?
What is synchronicity?
To quote Carl Jung (a Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher born in 1875): “Synchronicity is the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer”.
Putting it in a simpler way, synchronicity is meaningful coincidences from seemingly random events that come together, that cannot be explained by either logic or science.
Is that as clear as mud? lol
Seriously though, have you heard of it before?
Feeling Overwhelmed Happens to Everyone – Not Just You
Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re suffering from “information overload” and your brain “hurts”;
You’re overwhelmed at all the new information that keeps coming your way and you just can’t keep up with it all;
You don’t even know where to start with all this information coming at you;
You’re struggling to be able to make sense of this information and “take it all in”;
Are You Focusing on What You Can’t Do, Rather Than What You Can?
I have a funny little story to share with you (that does have a point) …
Yesterday, my five year old son and I were at another person’s house when he found three balls (he loves balls!).
He came racing in to where I was with all three balls, very excited, and then he said to me, “Mum! Mum! I’ve found juggling balls!”.
“That’s good, mate”, I said (smiling and having a little chuckle to myself as to how excited he was about it).
Do You “Go The Extra Mile” For Others?
As far as I’m concerned, one of the best attributes of a person who provides great customer service is their willingness to “go the extra mile” for someone.

Whatever happened to someone using their initiative?
Geez, I’m annoyed! (to say the least).
Kids Are a Great Source of Entertainment!
During the colder months, my afternoon routine consists of many things, but one thing in particular is going out to the shed, loading up the wheelbarrow with wood for the fire, wheeling it back to the bottom of the steps of the verandah, then walking up and down the steps carrying the wood from the wheelbarrow to outside our back door (it’s a great workout, that’s for sure!).
My son (who turned five only a few days ago) loves to come with me while I do this, but on this particular day, it was raining when I was ready to go, so I didn’t tell him I was going outside because I didn’t want him getting too wet.
I, however, had no choice in the matter and get wet, I did!
Do You Make The Effort To Remember Names?
This seemingly minor detail can leave a lasting impression (both good and bad).
Today in the mail, amongst the junk mail, newspapers and some letters, I found an envelope addressed to my husband and I.
Straight up, it annoyed me that whoever sent this letter had spelled my husband’s first name incorrectly. I put that annoyance aside and opened the letter, only to find that the enclosed invitation had his name spelled wrongly on it too!
How annoying!
