Building a Web site

Hi there all, it has been a while since my last post, but I have been keeping myself busy building a web site using the software on my iMac. I guess that is a pretty good excuse as to not posting lately, but it is not all in vain!! I think I might have some information that will help those out there building or thinking about building there own web site to enhance the "shop front" for their home business.

I am using the program iWeb, which is a standard software addition for iMac and Macbooks. I will kinda apologise here to PC users as I am, now, an avid Mac user...NOT that I dislike PC so please don't think I do! I still have my PC laptop in my cupboard and I still use it from time to time for some of the programs I have on it. It seems to me that the iWeb programs makes it quite simple and easy to follow and add in content to form the type of web site you want and, as long as your web host has the capabilties, you web page can be uploaded to your brand spank'n new domain name that you have aquired, again using your web host. I am still shopping around for the web host to give me all the functions I am seeking. My current 'Landing Page' is hosted and maintained by EXIA and Australian webhost company, and certainly good at what the do. They also built the webpage that you can view at the link in my profile. Having said that I am also a bit of a go getter and like to have a bit of a 'muck around' with what I have at my disposal and of course I benefit from this and so does anyone else who follows as I will always try and give the best available information I can. Some webhosting companies that have made my 'short' list, if you can call it that, include - Justhost.com, Godaddy.com and bluehost.com to name three. Follow this link - http://b2evolution.net/web-hosting/top-quality-best-webhosting.php - it will give a list of webhosts and what they offer, a good way to start your webhosting shopping, as it were.

Of course you will also have a domain name for you site to be posted to. Most webhosting companies have the capability for you to search and see if your domain name is available and if it is, snap it up before someone else comes up with your good idea!!! Alot of the webhosts also have web site building capabilities as well, which, if you are like me and like to have even more control over you page, is great. I have found the following web building site also which is easy to use and very popular. Going on the success of the pages I am building at the moment, I will probably work my next site from here for something different! Here is the link for you to check it out - http://www.sitesell.com/lifeliveitnow.html - I have not fully looked throught this whole site but it is recommened by many of the people I follow on the net who also build their own sites and so on. I hope this helps out a bit for your new adventure into web page building for yourself and gives you a choice of webhosting and so on.

Cheers for now and happy building and remeber - Live Life Now!!

Law of Attraction & my experience!

I haven't posted for a bit and have been wrestling with myself on what to post - so here goes... I actually have been looking back at the past 3 months which has encompassed having many things change in my life. As I look back and from the amount of reading and studying I am doing on Law of Attraction, I have noticed that many of the things that have happened, good and bad, have come from the way I carried myself, talked to others and even thought. Not just on a day to day basis but also hour to hour!! So, if you asked me do I think that there is something about the practice of thinking positive, being positive and seeing your results, and you asked me right now, I would have to say definitely there is something to it!!

One of my favourite pieces of information from the reading and completing of my 'Discovery' (as part of my Life Path Unlimited Discovery Series),course is that the universe, God, your spirit guides or how ever you explain and whoever you ask is that between positive or negative, the universe knows no difference. What do I mean!!?? Well from what I have seen happen to myself and from what I discovered from my study is that what ever you put out into the 'cosmos' positive or negative the universe will endevour to provide. The universe doesn't know what is good or bad for you and will not sit back and say 'hang on a tick are you sure that is what you want?', it does as it is told and starts the ball rolling to provide the finish that which is started. Be it a mere thought, and mostly it is the mere thought, it starts what I call the chain reaction which leads us to the end result. I will be honest with you, I have seen this work in BOTH ways, positive and negative, in the last 3 months of which I have been pondering over the last few days. I was made redundant from a well paid management job, this happened the day I returned froma weeks holiday away. During this time away, all I did was worry if I had a job to go back to and I even said as much to closer friends and relatives and guess what, all I did was get the ball rolling for losing my job!!! In hindsight it is the best thing to have happened to me as I am certainly less stressed and enjoying my new venture of self dicovery and working from home, but it just goes to show that the universe will provide for you, but, it doesn't know good from bad. It just listens to what you put out there!! Don't worry I have had some positives happen in the last 3 months as well and I know that with my studies and adjustment to my ways of thinking more positives will unfold before me.

Well there you have it, what I have been pondering over the last few days. I am no expert, but I can speak from what I have experienced. There are many many sites out there that have information and interesting reads about the Law of Attraction. I do post a few links on Twitter which can help you if you want to get out there and learn more or find others opinions.

Enjoy what is left of this weekend and I hope you enjoy what I have shared.

Cheers for now and Enjoy Life!!

Letting Go Of Expectations

Expectations .... what are they? Do you have expectations of what you want or what you want from others around you, or from life in general? I know I do, and there is nothing wrong with having expectations of things to come, but one and including myself here, needs to know that things don't always pan out as expected, but ultimately what ever happens in all situations expected or not, can still lead the way to our desired expectation we started with. Whoa... That is a bit of a tounge twister, but I have seen it ring true in my life and very recently too!!
I have huge expectations of myself and never more so when I was employed and worked as an employee. My expectations of myself included making sure I was as close to perfect as I could get myself, expecting the same from staff, which is a huge mistake. Working much harder than needed rather than stepping back and looking at the big picture as a whole and reaching goals/targets using the classic each step at a time rule for achieving great success, otherwise know as my favourite saying, working smarter.

I am now working at home in a home based business, of which yes, I have great expectations, but I have also rewired my thinking to include the GREAT Expectations along with the fact that I may not reach them how I expect. An example of my thinking; I may get 5 - 10 leads a week, great! Just what I expected, people are following my ads, but I may not get the conversion rate I expect from those leads. I can tell you now and honestly, if this was happening 6 months ago I would be a bit of a mess! (and don't worry I do still expect this, but I also know that like the majority of expectations, it will not be instant!)I know now from all the extra learning that I am doing, alongside all the marketing, social media and sales for my business, that I am on the right track, but I need to let go of the expectations which can limit you to actually reaching great success. I expect the unexpected, which in turn will lead me straight to my GREAT EXPECTATIONS!! I expect no less than success, but I have also let go of expectations to see a clearer and easier path to follow.

I have included a link below from an article by Katie Freiling of which rang true to me and prompted my thoughts today. Follow that to her thoughs and inspritation.

Design Your Own Twitter Background!

Hello again folks and hope you are enjoying you Saturday... I certainly am, I haven't done much and sometimes you need days like that, but I have been having fun learning that you can change and edit back grounds in Twitter. I certainly am no super guru, YET! But I would like to say that I know a little about a lot of different things. But since I have decided to become a social media newbie and certainly growing in my presence both on Facebook and Twitter I think it is also great that you can indeed be the individual that I am and definately you all are as well. I also think that if you show that certain creativeness you are showing prospective followers that you also care about what you are doing and therefore certainly will care about what you post and indeed the quality of your links that you share from other quality members of the Social Media community. There are many many great people out there that have absolute mastery of this new internet boom and I hope to share some of these 'masters' down track. I hope to post/share links to them and ideas and finds that I find on my treasure hunt through the internet and the many posiblilites of the Social Media and it capabilities of helping those who want ot be known over the internet whether for a home business, share their knowledge or just connecting with people!! Enjoy the below link... It is a free to use site, which is always good and the capabilities are not, in my opinion, limiting because it is a free to use site. The developers are on twitter and as a service to them for their service I am following so they get known out there too.

Cheers and as always - Live Life NOW!!! Happy Twitter Page Creating!!!

Remember - I love comments and it keeps the conversation going...but there is no pressure!!!

Who else loves DICE?

So I guess you may be sitting back and going... Who actually likes Dice? Those plain 6 sided cubes that are always lost when you want to have that Monopoly or Snakes and Ladders game, which you have decided to dig out from the back of the cupboard because you are bored to the point of no return!! And, you know to some extent you are correct, but I am here to save the day for those poor defenseless pieces of cubed (and many other shaped) bits of plastic. I reckon now you are asking is MslilPeta actually for real... has she lost a couple of marbles upstairs??? Simply put NO I haven't (in the nicest way ... truly :p ).. I collect Dice or Die or how ever you want to pluralize the word!!!

Starting only about 3 years ago I decided that my love for all things games, video/computer games, traditional board games and cards, I would start a collection of dice as I new that they did come in a huge array of number of sides, colours, materials and the like... Serious! Dice can range from 4 sided through to 100 sided and can be made out of many different materials. All I can say is I love 'em!!! And now that I can spend more hours on the internet with my home business I have more time to search the corners of the earth for those dice I don't have yet and may not even be commercially available any more or ever have been. Dice collecting also has added to my life in so much as the amount of people, family and friends included generating their own interest in what I have collect so far. Many of my dice come from overseas so when I was working as an employee for my last job my staff and territory manager always wanted to be in on the act when a new shipment arrived.. Dice are the great conversation starter, and interest generator... Again.. Love 'em!!! I will even share a pic with you all ... Enjoy and any questions just give me a hoy!!! Don't be shy... :)

And always remember Life - LIVE IT NOW!!!

Cheers till next post - what will the subject be?!!!??? Stay tuned!

Have you ever lost track of the days???

Have you ever lost track of what day it is.....???

Don't worry SO have I on more than one occasion. Most of Australia has had a long weekend this weekend past, and I am happy to have had that so called long weekend to myself...I did do some work as well why not!!! Why would you? I can hear you all asking... Well to tell you the truth I am totally convinced and focused on my new home business that it doesn't matter what day it is or if it is a long weekend or not. I have ample time between the many and varying online commitments that I literally can say that I have a long weekend 'so to speak' every week. And with this in mind I do lose track of the days - sometimes!!! But that is all ok.

I also remind myself that time can and does fleet past so quickly that I have to remember to make sure I live Life... LIFE LIVE IT NOW!!!! I think we can all forget this at times, and I will be the first to tell you that I used to live to work, but I am very serious when I tell you that I now work to LIVE!!

Cheers for now and have the best week and Live Life!!
