Adventure 48 ~ Getting To Grips With Technology

/ intrepidjane

Okay, so today’s adventure might not seem like such a big deal to most people : it is to me though! Having relied on my ex-husband to sort out my technological life in the past, I knew that the time would eventually come when I’d have to face the modern world on my own, head on.

Now is that time 🙂 . In the past week, I’ve adventured into PC World, had conversations with technical guys (I’m still certain that I didn’t understand a word but I seem to have got some kit that does what I want it to do) and, today, I bought myself a mouse.

The acquisition of technical “bits and bobs” isn’t new. Success with getting them to work would be new though (and probably a complete surprise 🙂 ). The question of the day is : can I get my new mouse to work?

I am just going outside and may be some time.

Adventure 47 ~ How To Taste Whisky Like A Pro

/ intrepidjane

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 🙂 .

Adventure 46 ~ How To Taste Wine Like A Pro

/ intrepidjane

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!

I am just going outside and may be some time 🙂

Adventure 45 ~ Gratitude Journal Day 7

/ intrepidjane

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.

I am just going outside and may be some time.

Adventures 38 – 42 ~ Abundant Gratitude

/ intrepidjane

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.

Adventure 37 ~ On The Write Track

/ intrepidjane

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  🙂 .

Adventure 36 ~ Putting My Own House In Order

/ intrepidjane

Home sweet homeIt 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

Adventure 35 ~ Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

/ intrepidjane

Down into Kyle of LochalshThe 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 .

I am just going outside and may be some time.
