Yesterday the penny dropped that I hardly use my sense of smell at all – and that my tasting adventures are opening up a whole new world to me! Today I give whisky tasting a go. You can get the low-down on how to taste whisky here .
Again, there’s quite alot to this process, so the video is a little longer than usual. Please feel free to grab a wee dram and join in 🙂 .
I am just going outside and may be some time.

Today I learn how to taste wine like a pro! I chose white wine today but I can already feel a red wine adventure beckoning. I realise that I’ve not really been tasting wine at all – up until today.
If you want to give this a go, I found this resource really helpful.
The video is a little longer than usual (there’s more to wine-tasting than meets the eye 😛 ) so you might just want to pour yourself a glass and join me!

Here I am at the end of my first 7-day gratitude adventure and I’m noticing some really significant changes. Just to be “scientific” about it, I re-took the self-test I did on day 1 of my gratitude journal. Even after only 7 days, I’ve gone up 10% points :). Now I’m more grateful than 85% of the adult, American population!
In today’s video, I record the final part of my journal and share what I’m noticing about my relationship with gratitude.

It’s day 6 of keeping my gratitude journal and some unusual changes are afoot!

It’s already day 5 of my Gratitude Journal and something is shifting!

I’ve been away in Glasgow for a few days so I’ve a bit of catching up to do! In this post I’ve included 5 short videos that will bring you up-to-date with my adventures 🙂 .
Adventure 38 : Day 7 Of The Prosperity Game ~ I share my learning from the previous 7 days along with details of how I spend my daily credit from the Universal Bank (it’s a whopper today, by the way!)
Adventures 39 – 42 : Keeping A Gratitude Journal ~ I’ve never kept a gratitude journal before! I’m interested to see what happens when I place my awareness on the things I’m grateful for. The reason for keeping a gratitude journal are pretty compelling : you can read more about the benefits of gratitude here. You can even take part in an interactive quiz to see how grateful you are 🙂 . I took the quiz before starting and it turns out that I am more grateful than 75% of the American adult population. I feel grateful about that 🙂 and wonder what impact my gratitude journal may have on that figure.

It’s day 6 of the Prosperity Game and things are really on the move now! Today I move closer to something that seems to have been there all the time. What reveals itself to me feels very familiar.
Here’s what happened today ~ and I’ve put some relevant links below the video. Even typing the words “link” makes me smile because, at some level, I think I’m actually creating neurological links that may be helping me to make really helpful changes.
(Just while I remember, I’m not going to be able to blog until next Tuesday but I will be continuing with my adventures. I’ll still be uploading videos to my YouTube channel everyday so you can watch how things are going there!)
You can find out how to select the right publisher here and you can see one of my potential publishers here 🙂 .

It seems like my garden metaphor is really working for me : today it felt like I was actually playing the Prosperity Game. I was surprised what came to mind today and it’s made me think about my future in a different way.
If you’re wondering about the image : it’s my favourite room in my house in Scotland (I talk about it in today’s video).
5 days in and I’m getting the hang of it 🙂 . I’ve put links to some of my “purchases” and gifts below the video as usual.
See my Shaker kitchen here . See my bathroom here . See the animal rescue centre here

The title of this blog post probably brings the next line of this nursery rhyme straight to mind : “How does your garden grow?” And since yesterday’s round of the Prosperity Game , not only have lots of insights about my relationship with money come straight to mind, I’ve also made a new connection which I think is causing things to shift in surprising ways (just a small clue, it does involve gardening 😛 ).
So here’s what happened on day 4 🙂 . As usual, I’ve posted links to my “purchases” below the video.
You can see my expedition rowboat here and my recumbent tricycle (including trailer and accessories) here .

After yesterday’s round of the Prosperity Game (which I found really tough), I had an idea that might help me to enjoy the game a little more and gain more insights into the resistance that emerged yesterday.
I decided to invite my Fairy Godmother to play the game with me : she is the part of me that wants to look after me and knows me really well. I’ll still be playing too and paying attention to how this dynamic affects my experience.
Here’s what happened when I let my Fairy Godmother take the strain. I’ve supplied links to the “purchases” below the video 🙂 .
Read about my Arctic dog sled expedition on Exodus Travels’ website . See my hotel in Tórshavn here .
