Hi Dear Friends,
I’m back…. well sort of, after all of our huge events of the year with a little reprieve before we begin again. That’s right part 2 of the 3 part remodel starts next week but should be a lot easier than the first one.
I’ve been bumping into walls, exhausted and trying to clean up and regroup and little by little I’m digging out. I don’t know about you but after a huge push is when I notice that anxiety can kick in and I just have to ride the wave and watch it ebb and flow. The body and mind are trying to catch up saying “I can finally register what was going on that you weren’t listening to”.
The end result was incredible and I’m beyond delighted but it will take me a bit till I’m back to full throttle.
I haven’t done a video for awhile with any workouts with my Move It Monday classes and this is just a talk and a bit of Tai Qui because well, this is where you start when you have been out of sync for awhile.
I’ve been trying to get on the internet all morning but couldn’t starting at 2 a.m. and I thought there was a snafu in the new bedroom but it turns out as I was headed to P.T. at 7:00 a.m. a tree was down. Saved by the tree I thought. It reminded me of “the dog ate my homework” and I have no idea if they will really believe me. There was no storm but I did notice that the wire was awfully close on the tree the other day and just ignored that message. Oops, I may not be able to reply till the WiFi comes back, hoping this goes through!
I let all of my clients know I wasn’t going to see them today because of the tree but they are all bound and determined to get here and help cut branches. Even my 91 year old is coming. That’s one way to get a work out in.
In short, when you have gone through a big push, remember to Begin Again and here is the recipe:
- Give yourself the time you need to decompress and take a break
- Get back to your practice whether that be meditation, movement, music, etc
- Set realistic Goals for yourself
- Acknowledge the small steps you make and fan your accomplishments
When life gives you the unexpected,
go with it !
It’s a message for you to regroup and take it slow.
Don’t fight what can’t be changed and go with the flow.
Take life as it comes each and every day
Be blessed for the gifts that come your way.
Alrighty, that was short and sweet… the video is a little long but I gotta run. Funny, I made it Saturday and who knew the tree would give me another chance to begin again. It does say have a great weekend…. but what I meant was, have a great week ahead.
Make it a great day!

Hope it goes well!! PS. No video in my view.
thanks for letting me know💗
I just published it thanks to you, so maybe it will work out now.. thanks again. 💗
😉
Nice
‘Begin Again’ – super advice Cindy. Still laughing at the ‘dog ate the homework’ though! 🙂
Oh so glad you like it and got a laugh too,
Thanks for letting me know., ❤️
Good luck, Cindy!
Joanna
Thanks Joanna and I do hope you are feeling better. Did you post Sat?
💞
Huh
Oh my gosh, Cindy. You have such dedication to your blog. You have had so much happen I think everyone would forgive you for missing a few days. You are amazing. Good luck with the tree and getting your home back in order. I’ll be watching for future post, but seriously, don’t strain yourself.
Oh Marsha, you are soooo kind.. just like you do! Thank you so much my dear. I think my son in laws mom who came over yesterday couldn’t believe what a mess I had after the house was perfect last Friday. “This is me too” 🤣. Thanks truly for the wishes and being a dear friend. 💞
Downed trees are such a pain. That so nice that your patients want to come and help. Whacking on tree branches is good therapy. Laurie had a student she tutored who had ADHD. When he got all his work done, he got to take one of my machetes and whack on elm trees. It was a great incentive and he got a lot of energy out whacking on those trees. Good luck with the cleanup.
I know you know Tim and thanks. Oh I was teasing about that but my hubby had the chain saw.. (men love that as you know 🤣). They came through the house so they could get to the gym. hahaha. So funny about Laurie’s student.. It’s great for the anger release too!~!!! Thanks a lot and then onto fixing the fence.. You know all about that too. 🙃
Life with trees and fences.
Exactly the bitter and the sweet. 💗
I love the idea of Begin Again. Noting down your tips. Thanks for this entry, Cindy. And good luck with the tree and tje wifi. 💜💜💜
Oh so glad to hear. The list is short but it is the way through for sure.
I’m almost out of my personal hotspot connection and they’ll get all up and running soon hopefully. thanks so much! 💗
Best of luck Cindy!
Thanks Francis.. I’m back up and running. 🙏🏼💞
Splendid!
🥰
I am so glad that you are taking some time back for yourself. Hope your hip is feeling better, my friend. I am sure your internet will be back soon. Good luck with the tree removal.💕
Wonderfully Cindy. Real wonderful. Sending lots of love your way 🌸❤️🌹
Thank you so much my dearest Gabriela! 💗💗
My pleasure hon ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Grace, I appreciate that. I’m back on the grid and tree is removed… now on to the dilapidated deck.
💗💗💗 Poems came through right?
Yes hon. I will get back to you. Sending love 🌺🌸🌹
Oh good.. with the glitches in computer, I was just making sure. xo back at you💗
Love this little weekly update and your thoughts on how the unexpected events of the week caused you to begin fresh. 🙂
Thank you so much Jaya.. Life teaches us daily what we need to learn and if we listen we’re all good. ❤️
I enjoyed your video, Cindy. I needed your tips today. Take care of you.
Thank you so much Mary. I appreciate you taking time to listen to it and I’m glad it was apropos for your day. 💗
It was fun participating, Cindy. Thanks for posting the video.
I’m glad to hear that. Thanks again. You’re most welcome💞
Nice
Oh dear, sorry to hear about the down tree, and I hope your internet comes back soon. Good on you for keeping a positive outlook on the entire situation. ^_^
Oh thanks so much Joyce. thank goodness for personal hot spots.. xo ❤️
Agreed. Hehe. ^_^
🤣
That’s so random! Maybe it’s a message to stop working! 😜
hahahahahhaha .. I love it David and I’ll te,, my husband who keeps yelling at me.. “you’re 2 months late in your billing” 🙃🤣
Wise advice about being adaptable and willing to begin again. So happy your clients came to your aid, and you allowed the day to unfold in a new beautiful way. 💝
Ahhhh thanks Tricia.. it’s what we do.. right!!! Absolutely and I appreciate you.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
🌺💐🌺
Love the begin again recipe. Thanks for the reminder to go do some of your Monday workouts on YouTube.
Oh thanks so much Sara! It’s a pleasure. Hope they get a little more vigorous but for now, this is my speed. ❤️
Nice
Some sound advice in here Cindy, thanks! 🙏😁 It can take a while to get one’s bearings after such an intense period. You mind yourself and take your time.
You’re so welcome and soooo right. Thanks so much Ken.. i’m working on it💞
” Begin again” reading n listening to my Queen always is to feel again n again. It’s sooo awesome n much needed affirmation to begin again whenever n from wherever life plants us. Loves to you for sharing n spreading the great thoughts n experiences together. Take care my dearest ❤❤ 🥰
Did I not see this. thanks for sharing your heart and letting me read you smiles and love through words my love Suma.. Thanks my sweet princess💞
Great video Cindy, I get thrown out of routine whenever I’ve been away. I manage to keep some of my routine intact but as a creature of habit, I really do prefer to be on track and it feels great to be home and in balance again now. Looking forward to the pictures from Africa, I’ve always wanted to go as was in love with Wilbur smith books at an early age.
Oh thank you so much and so good to know I’m not alone. It does take awhile but like you I do love routine and spontaneity calls me which is also good for the soul. Oh they are spectacular and I’ve never had the desire until now and enjoying Wilbur Smith books at a young age will tug at your heart too I’m sure. Have a beautiful day❣️
[…] Begin Again […]
Begin again, what a beautiful and powerful phrase that is Cindy….love the positivity it infuses .
I hope the fallen tree and wifi issues are dealt with at the earliest. Have a great week Cindy 💖💖
Thank you so much Radhika! I feel like that a lot and glad you enjoyed it too. All is good now and we’re up and running. I will and you do the same my friend! ❣️
Great Move It Monday, Cindy! We don’t need a lot of movement to get physical and mental benefits from exercise.
Thanks so much John and so true! Can we extend that into Tuesday.. 😂. Happy day❣️
All the best Cindy! You surely will begin again with full Cindy magic
Oh you are a dear and off to the races we go my friend❣️.
Thanks Love💞
Good luck, Cindy😊
Thanks.. back on track Vidah. Make it a great day!❣️

Lovely advice, Cindy. There are a plethora of mantras here for us all. A great week ahead to you too! 💖
Glad you liked it Jeff and happy you found some helpful mantras. See how the 2 parts might not have been too long after-all?! 🤣💞
Thanks and to you too! ❣️
Hi Cindy, life has been very busy for you, but you seem to be managing okay. Slowing down with blogging from time to time is okay, and, in fact, recommended. Thanks for the video, I left you a comment there. I look forward to your “Africa” pictures.
It really has Robbie and I sometimes wonder if that is just how life is for me but we do have to savor the moments. Thank you for that wise advice in slowing down my blogging for awhile. In order to write my book, I think that is exactly right. I appreciate that so much. I loved your lovely comment and so happy your mom is doing well. Have a beautiful day❣️
You are not alone with all the juggling, Cindy. We all do it and when life goes out of sync for a while we have to make adjustments. 🤗
It is so true Robbie!!! It’s a constant practice of “catching ourselves in the act and adjusting”
💗
Nice
🙏🏼
Hello how are you doing today

You’re amazing, Cindy G, and that was an incredible post. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. So glad you’re finding yourself and getting back into the swing of things. We’ve all been there but you’ve had SO MUCH going on. The video was wonderful and you looked quite calm and relaxed! I wonder how many times you had to counted to ten lol! Well done, my friend. This too shall pass in time. Just ride the waves and hang on. Luv ya, girlfriend! 💕✌🏼🙏🏼☺️
Oh thanks Dearest Nancy. Glad you liked it and yes, I’m getting back and thanks for taking time to listen to it.. catching myself and returning to that place is such a gift.

Your welcome 🤗
Hi Cindy, best of luck with getting up a running again, you are certainly having a busy time … thank you for the handy advice on how to “Begin Again” … I’ve had a let down after ‘Tullawalla’ was released … and now I need to recharge my enthusiasm … my new book ‘Perceptions’ will out in late November … and my Tullawalla book launch on Sat 22nd October, and then on Sat 19th I’ve been accepted to run a stall at a local ‘Arts & Craft’ market to sell my ‘Books’ , which will be a first-time event for me … I was down in the dumps this time last year, when Tullawalla went out of publication, and I thought my writings were coming to an end … but I have been able to “Begin Again” … and now I have started on a manuscript for my “Third’ book, which I hope to finish in early 2023 …

Thank you so much dear Ivor. I have and it will start up again soon so trying to take it a day at a time.
Wow you have a lot of irons in the fire and it’s all great stuff but lots of time and energy as well. These are all good problems however … too much of a good thing can be a lot too tho.. xo ❤️
Thanks Cindy … hopefully being busy will be good for me … as long as I take my regular breaks
Breaks are essential Ivor.. and ice cream 😂
Chocolate too
just eating some.. xo 😂
🍫🍫😉
❤️
hope my message went through.. i said yes and ice cream too. 😆
Yes thanks Cindy 😍🌏 🍦🍫

alrighty .. thanks but ai think its me., xo
As they say, sometimes you have to take one step back so you can continue blazing forwards. It’s great that you’re slowly getting back into the groove. I can definitely relate to pushing yourself and ending up running on fumes. Not super pleasant. But it’s a great catalyst for growth once you come back into it. Wishing you all the best!
Wise words from someone whose been there.
Thanks Stuart and you are soooo right. It is all good.
Fumes work until you get back on your feet and then
your recipe is exactly what’s needed. Thanks for always being here!
💗🙏🏼
‘after a huge push is when I notice that anxiety can kick in’ – hard relate here, Cindy! So many books, so many birth pangs 😅💖🤗 take all the time you need to get back to full speed!
This is a bold presentation Cindy, I like this blog and the way you are encouraging us to begin again by taking time off , listening to music, taking Yoga or any other stress relieving remedy. I am sorry that there was a bulk tree in your house and that the Wi-Fi was AWOL all morning. Have a great day and keep it up with the events you are participating in😊🙏
Best wishes to you
And to you! 💕
Namaste, my friend. Stay lovely.
Namaste to you Selma💕
Second try: Namaste, my friend. Stay beautiful and whole.
Everyday is a new Day indeed!
Thanks a lot-;)
🙏💕🙏💕
Wonderful post and video! I enjoyed the practice immensely!
Thanks Kay!
I Appreciate you letting me know-:)🙏💕
Oh I’m delighted Kay.. Thanks a lot.., I think I may have already responded. If so, thanks again❤️
You’re very welcome!
💞
Thanks for leading by example, Cindy. Words appreciated today
Thanks so much VJ. Glad it was helpful 💕
Very! You are welcome Cindy.

Hope everything got sorted with the WiFi and off to watch the video now! 💕
