Beautiful friends of Jack of All, Master of None, an announcement is brewing! In the meantime, I'm just doing a roll call, put your hand up *by liking this post* if you can see this message loud and clear?

It's day two over 36 degrees here and with no aircon my adorably gorgeous Kitty Neko is trying to seek refuge anywhere, even her favourite play bag. So darn cute.

On the topic, do your best to keep your pets cool, hose your dog down, put ice blocks in their water, turn a fan on for them or wipe them down with a moist facewasher. Every bit helps.

Trust you're enjoying the Australian summer where you are :)

Loving channel Nine's new season of The Block Triple Threat! Who else is? I wonder how many of these ideas I can cram into Frank the caravan, LOL

Welcome to Sunday! Fill your day with what truly makes you happy. Invest a block of time this afternoon to open your diary and plan the week ahead; what will you complete that's lingering from last week, and what will you action that has you fist pumping with satisfaction and joy come Friday?

Now go be awesome!

You where meant to read this message, you've stumbled on this in your news feed for a reason; the message the Universe wishes to deliver to you is this:

Get out of your head, you've done enough thinking, now start taking action. It's ok if you haven't got it all worked out just yet, the key here is just to make a start, any start; and once you do the answers you seek with be revealed.

Reality is, if we bought only what we needed, and not what we want (or think we need), we could all be working part time or less instead.

Perplexing thought?

Imagine what you could do with that 'free' time; be present to the rapidly growing lives of your children, connect with a passion or soul nurturing hobby, meditate, invest more in your health, sleep in, tend to your veggies, walk along the beach, create memories with other friends also with 'free' time.

Don't trade the hours in your life for physical inanimate objects you truly don't need. Go somewhere, do something, experience life and make memories, most of all, smile and love life :)

Your Minimalist Friend,
Chance :) ox

Recently when looking for a beautiful, and inspiring feminine diary for 2015 I didn't quite find what I was seeking but instead something so much more interesting; I stumbled over a brilliant concept call the Bullet Journaling, have you heard of it? http://www.bulletjournal.com

Click below to learn more, in a nutshell it's a simple and effective way to capture your must do tasks daily using good old pen to paper in beautiful Moleskine notebooks.

It's not a Diary by any means, but what good's a diary if you're not starting with a fresh focus on the tasks at hand! So I'm going to combine this Bullet Journalling system with my favourite week to a view diary layout and sketch up my own Diary for 2015! Any excuse to pick up the coloured pens and unleash my inner creator. I'll post picks, my gloriously sunny yellow Moleskine notebook should arrive any day now.

It's over 30* where I am today and with no air conditioning I'm taking to the shady cool and breezy spots. It's important to keep your water intake up on hot days but did you know if you drink too much water you can actually create an imbalance of electrolytes, in turn causing dehydration?

The solution: Drink coconut water! I am so grateful for the gifts Mother Nature gives us, and coconuts are one of them. Coconut water is identical to human blood plasma, as a natural isotonic with the same ratio of electrolytic levels in our blood, a glass or 2 of coconut water helps keeps heat stroke away!

Fresh coconut water from a young coconut is best, next best thing is a long life tetra pack found on supermarket shelves near the water. Choose one with the least additives. (Does that really need to be said?)

Happy summer friends!

Do you do Affirmations? Years ago the voice in my head would spout only negative chatter tearing me down from the inside one cruel internal comment at a time. I was my own worst enemy.

As grace should have it, I stumbled onto Louise Hay's concept of Affirmations, beautiful short statements said in the present tense that when said often be it every day or every minute would slowly but surely dissolve that negative Nancy free loading in my mind.

I'd never heard of this or experienced the depth of its ability, so I did as the book said, choosing 3 Affirmations that resonated for me. I wrote them on pretty paper with a pretty pen and put them about the place, on my monitor, the dashboard of my car, and on my mirror in the bathroom.

One day as I for the umpteenth time read the Affirmation gazing in my line of sight I thought to myself, is this really working? The ironic thing, before my sentence finished this beautiful feminine voice responded, "You're amazing Chance, yes this really is working, I'm your new best friend." A whole profound new internal dialogue had been born, the rest is history, I give gratitude everyday for the best friend that walks around with me everyday. Every now and then I give it a boost and a top up with some new affirmations, and with the start of a New Year, what a fitting time.

I encourage you to google "Louise Hay Affirmations" pick 3 that call to you, and pop them somewhere you'll see frequently, ready them always.

You're amazing, smile :)

Time to hear the truth.

We have the most elaborate ways of convincing ourselves that if we just buy that next thing, then we'll feel content. Get curious about how you can connect with contentment without exchanging money.

As I've been settling into my new minimal lifestyle, I've had some wonderful epiphanies and realisations, which have only occurred when I allowed my mind to be quiet. I think of these messages as feedback from my heart and soul, like a game of hotter/colder. When I take action in alignment with what I've heard, things flow beautifully and effortlessly; and when I don't, it becomes a race across hard and prickly obstacles.

Of late I've noticed how sensitive I've become to noise. I feel a pull towards silence, of tranquil spaces, to be surrounded by mother nature's landscape. To wake with the morning sun and meditate while its warm rays gently kiss my skin. To feed my heart and soul with the silence, stillness and healing energy of calm. To give my heart and soul a space within which magic can be enticed out through divine inspired thought or clarity reached.

Quite your mind, it might be 5 min refuge in the bathroom, or 20 min in bed before you get up. See what magic surfaces for you.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!!
I mentioned I've been working furiously on an exciting new project, here's your first sneak peak!

Having worked with and been in Small Businesses for over 15 years, I've seen it all, from strategies that payoff big time to others that seemed fail proof, but instead had owners fall flat on their face, ouch.

In that time I've learnt how to navigate the sometimes treacherous maze of business ownership. Times have changed, what use to work now doesn't, it's time I share the secrets of my treasure map with you.

Introducing Secret Source Academy - A membership site for business owners, that teaches how to supercharge your efforts and return by integrating my real strategies for the new rules for business.

This has been yearsssss in the making and I'm super excited to share it with you! Secret Source Academy will be launching in the coming weeks, but first, I need a logo!

Which do you like the most, top, middle or bottom?

Chance :) ox

PS: If you would like to be one of the first to know the minute the Academy launches, send me your email address and I'll pop you on my secret launch list.

05/11/2014

Behind the scenes I've been furiously working away on an exciting project, details of which I'll reveal shortly. Along the way though I've been challenged by my choices to zig when everyone else is more comfortable to zag.

So here's to the dreamers and doers! And here's to forging your own path. I love being a badass unicorn and encourage you to find your inner badass sparkle too!

Time for the race that stops the nation, Melbourne Cup!! Which horse have you put your money on?

01/11/2014

It is a chilly and wet 17 degrees in Melbourne today, yesterday was 34! Lucky I love variety, LOL. What's the weather where you are?

You know, where ever you live and whatever weather Mother Nature is sharing with you today, I hope your Saturday is a total delight. For me, I love waking up without an alarm, putting my track pants and big floppy jumper on, not brushing my hair and snuggling a delicious cup of tea whilst I ease into the day.

I feeling like living on the edge, so I might even make crepes for lunch. Wild I know.

Sparkle on beautiful people and fellow floppy jumper friends :)

Happy Thursday afternoon! How are you? We've so much to catchup on!!

Today's message, start something new, this moment, right now. Share with me below what you've started today.

Hello dear friends and welcome new fans to the Jack of All Family! This is my 3rd attempt to post a little message to touch in and say g'day, yet FB has eaten my posts! (Until now).

The last few weeks of packing, clearing and sorting have been busy, taking so much more of me physically and mentally then I anticipated, all absolutely worth it though. As I've stepped further along this beautiful path to minimalism I've felt more and more in alignment with my vision for life. Such a gift.

I've so any wonderful things to share and so many posts and updates I'd hoped to get posted to you by now, but alas...

Enjoy your Tuesday, exhale and know that sometimes our intentions can travel on a different timetable to that, that we may have in mind for them, and that's ok!

Chat soon gorgeous people,
Chance :)

Happy Friday Lovely!

I'm on the most incredible journey, I'm on the path to meet my ideal man, I trust that every day we're both getting a step closer to one another. The moment we meet will be the result of a million little divine synchronistic timings and events that had to happen in order for us to happen. The Universe works in the most divine ways.

If you're single, know the above is true for you too. Tag a friend who would appreciate being reminded of the kind of man they deserve to be with, and whom deserves to be with them.

In Love & Light,
Chance :) ox

Happy Healthy Thursday!

I'm pretty sure I was a Mermaid in a past life, I LOVEEEEE the water, I could live in it, on it or next to it. I feel at home next to the Ocean and feel at peace floating in the sea. I don't live next to the water at the moment, so my next best thing is a deliciously long and relaxing soak in a tub of gloriously hot steamy water. I stay in the bath until it's too cold to stand it any longer. I think you get how much I love water.

As I've learnt over the years about the overwhelming and concerning barrage of toxins that we expose our bodies too, I have come to learn fabulous ways to support the healthy elimination of these nasties - or better yet, avoidance of them in the first instance. To support your health and organ function my dreamy baths where I connect with my distant Mermaid relatives featured these ingredients:

1 cup of Bicarb Soda (Aluminium free)
3/4 cup of Epsom Salts
*Optional* A splash of your favourite 100% natural Essential Oil if you want, maybe Lavender, Peppermint or Jasmine.

This combo joins forces and turns the water into a giant magnet of sorts that pulls and sucks toxins from your biggest organ, your skin, relieving some of the pressure and load your organs and liver would otherwise have to churn through and deal with.

The bonus is, you can sit back, relax, sip on a cup of tea or chilled fresh green juice while the water does all the hard work for you. Mother Nature is amazing isn't she...

FYI, when I stepped out of my last bath I looked back to see a murky dishwater coloured water - icky!

In Love and Light,
Chance ox

A bit of background:
Some Women are born to be Mothers, some to be corporate professionals, other people world leaders - Me, I was born to be an Entrepreneur. I could work day and night on my own business, building, deploying, learning.

I'm the first to encourage friends & family to venture into a startup of their own and begin to break free of the earning threshold in employment or for others achieve satisfaction of achievement and to share their gift with the world.

I LOVE to support those starting out, whatever the size! So featuring here on Tuesday's is an open forum to talk business with myself and fellow fans, pick my brain and leverage one another's knowledge and experience for your own success.

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?

You may not guess it, but my favourite place of all time to visit is Japan, specifically Ebisu Circuit 3.5hrs north of Tokyo in Nihonmatsu, because you see, I'm a tom boy at heart, I loveeeeee cars and LOVE to drift. Yep in the drivers seat, helmet and all with the roar of the engine and smell of burning tyres. Mmmmmm. Drifting is a Japanese form of Motorsport, as big there as you may say the V8 Super cars are here. It's a topic I could talk about for hours on end!

I once lived in Nihonmatsu, 10min from the track, with most everyday spent at the track mucking around learning new skills, working on broken cars, meeting new friends that where visiting the mecca from around the world. It was truly living the dream. I travel back every 2 years, I'm working on making it every 3 or 4 months. It's my second home.

Have you traveled to Japan? What was your favourite experience?

Happy Healthy Thursday!

Have you heard of the pros and cons of having an Acidic body vs Alkaline?

It's a whole topic in itself but in short if you can grasp the basic concept then from here I encourage you to get curious and Google how to support an alkaline body.

Your body is either predominately acid or alkaline, for most consuming the common diet these days, their pH levels will sit in an acid state; not good, for optimum health we must aim to lean on the alkaline side. The body requires a healthy balance of acid and alkaline, and when you go too far in one direction, specifically acid it makes you susceptible to all gamete of nasty dis-eases... Life threatening dis-eases.

When your body has a healthy alkaline balance you will feel incredible, your eyes and skin will glow, you'll likely be already, or well on your way to your ideal weight and you'll experience predominantly only great quality health. Dis-ease cannot exist in an alkaline envioronment. Alkaline is your friend.

Eat green food, get on eBay and buy pH test strips that you can p*e on to test your acid alkaline levels, and get curious about the true impact you're really having on your body through the foods you choose to put in your mouth.

This chart is a great way to get going. Lemon water is a fabulous quick and easy alkaline flush. Get on it!

In Love and Light,
Chance ox

Shhhh don't tell anyone, I meant to post this yesterday:

Today was a rest day, I have lots of big chunks unfolding in my world at the moment; I’m doing a full 360 on my traditional lifestyle from both directions. Letting go of possessions to follow a path of minimalism, and not having a permanent home to call home, be it renting, owning or whatever is in…

About this photo: Each trip to Japan usually revolves around cars and drifting (car racing) but on my last trip I explored Tokyo from a different angle and went to the famous Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku! This was one of the robot waiters, sooooo awesome.
