journey of self discovery.

Hi everyone,

While reading a Erkhart Tolle book it posed the question of "WHO AM I"

Over the past couple of years I have been wondering that very question.

"WHO AM I"

On the surface I am Rhonda Keenan, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter,daughter-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, friend. While enjoy being all those things, I'm feeling the need to look inside myself to find out the bigger picture of who I really am and I'm not sure what triggered those thoughts.

I was born and raised in WA with 3 brothers. At the age of 18, me, my parents & my youngest brother hit the road on a working holiday around Australia. Four months into that trip I met my Husband Ron and 17 months later we were married, I had just turned 20 and Ron was 19.
Our 36 year partnership has stood the test of time, trials, tribulations and triumphs.

In the past 18 months I have lost my Dad & 2 dear friends to cancer. Seen another 2 endure breast cancer and in the last couple of weeks another friends life is in the balance, which I guess is the catalyst of me questioning my own mortality and who I am.
While I spent the best part of 13 months in WA helping my Mother care for my Dad during his illness, my husband was back here in NSW fending for himself and one day while watching TV he saw something that tweaked his interest, which took him looking on the Internet where he found a home based business opportunity in the personal development industry with Life Path Unlimited, which brings me to the journey I am on now, a journey of self awareness and life enhancement a quest to find out who I am-to go within.
In a few short weeks we will be going to Peru to attend our 5 day Destiny conference at the beautiful Hotel Monasterio in Cuzco during which time we are all going to venture up to Macchu Picchu. This extravagant 5 day event is the culmination of the Life Path Unlimited business opportunity where we will experience abundance, prosperity, joy and celebration, during which time I will find myself, let go of my fears and limiting beliefs.
Cheers

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my blogg.

Friends unite to continue charity dream.

Friends for 30+ years, we met at pre natal class while pregnant with our 1st babies.

When our dear friend DAZZLING DEB was diagnosed with cancer she had been off the smokes for 18 months.
When Deb decided to give up the cigarettes, she wanted to do something to take her mind of smoking and she was an av ed eBay shopper. One day while perusing eBay she fell in love with the Cabbage Patch dolls and decided to buy any that she came across and ended up with around 150 dolls which she lovingly re dressed and re named.
After finding out that she had cancer a vision she had going around in the back of her mind came to the fore and that was to raise a million dollars for the needy children of her local area and around the world with all donations being made through her local church. Deb was hoping to see this dream through to the end but sadly she lost her brave fight on the 11/1/2011 and so leaving her friends and family to realise this dream for her.
Deb's goal was to sell tickets for $1 each and draw winners from the pool of entries, to purchase a ticket for the opportunity to adopt on of these quirky little dolls you can go to www.dazzlingdeb4kids.org.au
As well as spending $1 for the opportunity to win you can also help us raise the $1,0000000 by become an associate member for $3/yr or make a donation, just visit the web site above and choose from the tabs. You can also listen to Deb's song and see her full story.
Cheers
Rhonda

Volunteering to make a difference

Such a simple way of making a difference. Rhonda Keenan you're the BEST!! You make my heart sing! ♥ ♥
Thanks Deb....:-) it makes my heart sing too... to know I can make a difference with one or two simple phone calls each day. Thanks for the face book post, you ROCK.

For the past 20 years I have been doing volunteer work for the Red Cross by calling people(mostly the elderly)at home to make sure they are up and about for the day and that they are ok. It's a simple cheery 5 minute call to give them contact with someone first thing in the morning.
Then about 3 years ago my husband Ron decided he would get involved and do the same.
It gives us great pleasure to make the calls and to make a small difference to someones day.

Cheers
Rhonda

HOME MADE SPRINKLERS

The engineer in my Husband. Home made sprinklers.

These sprinklers have been in the making for a while,( I mean years) because he has back pain he is always thinking about how to make doing things, easier, so he doesn't have to bend. So we have gone to every ones favourite hardware store, got a length of conduit, had it cut into 3 equal pieces,(approx. 1mtr) fixed a sprinkler head to the top and a spike on the bottom (made from an old clothes airer), oh, and naturally somewhere to connect the hose as well. Total cost under $10.
Works just like a bought one, but when they are in use they flex from the preasure of the water and water the whole yard without moving them to many times.
By the way, the table the sprinklers are on, is also made by yours truely. WHAT A CLEVER MAN I MARRIED

Greetings everyone,
Earlier I posted that we were going to Peru with our primary business opportunity.
Well here is where we are going to be staying, at the beautiful Monisterio Hotel in Cuzco.
Our event will run from the 29th of May to the 2nd of June, during which time we will make the trek to Machu Picchu for an awe inspiring view of the ancient Inca's ruins.
We are looking forward to seeing all the friends we made in Fiji and all the new friends we have made since.
See you all in Peru.

Cheers
Rhonda

Hi Everyone,
I got this in my email box today and how true it is. Just thought I would share it.
We all think we are happy if we have all the materialistic things in life, when in actual fact we need to be happy in our hearts first and then no matter where you live and what you have you will always be happy.
Cheers
Rhonda


What will it take for you to be happy?

Benjamin Franklin pointed out that, "The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up to it yourself."

A lot of us pin our happiness to external factors...if only we had more money...or a better house...or whatever your latest "want" is, but our happiness has been...and always will be... right inside ourselves. That concept is liberating because it finally puts us in charge of our own happiness.

An excerpt from The Road to Happiness ~ by Mac Anderson and BJ Gallagher

When I travel on business, I like to talk to the taxi drivers who take me from the airport to my hotel, or to a convention center, or to a restaurant. Taxi drivers are often immigrants with interesting personal histories and unusual cultural backgrounds. I ask them how long they've been in America, how they chose which city to live in, and what they like best about where they live. Of course, I also ask them for advice on good local restaurants and any special attractions they'd recommend to a visitor. I've had some great experiences on my travels, thanks to the advice of taxi drivers!

On one trip about ten years ago, I was making conversation with the taxi driver, asking him my usual questions about how he came to live where he lived. Then I asked him a hypothetical question: "If you could live anywhere in the world-and if money was no object-where would you live?"

Without hesitating even for a second, he replied, "I live in my heart. So it really doesn't matter where my body lives. If I am happy inside, then I live in paradise, no matter where my residence is."

I felt humbled and a little foolish for my question. Of course he was right-happiness is an inside job. He had reminded me of something I already knew, but had forgotten. If you can't find happiness inside yourself, you'll never find it in the outside world, no matter where you move. Wherever you go, there you are. You take yourself with you.

I am grateful for the wisdom of that taxi driver. And I'm grateful for all the wisdom others have shared with me about how to be happy. :)
