Cool is Being Yourself at Christmas

2008-12-25T03:37:00.000-08:00

Cool is being yourself at Christmas. (Left) is Poppy (aka - Phil) wearing his Christmas best. Nanny (Right, aka - Carol) finally receives her iPod for Christmas and was never seen or heard from again.

Thank you Phil and Carol, we loved our time with you at Christmas as did the girls and Phil, your curry was awesome!

Zoe the Photgrapher

Zoe is fast becomming the artistic photographer. Often we let her run loose with my camera - she's actually got a good eye for photography - although never break the rules is my suggestion - "Never work with animals or children" - Belle (the dog) kept moving out of frame.

Christmas and Growth

2008-01-08T03:20:00.001-08:00

I used to believe that Christmas had lost it's meaning - that was until I had children of my own and the exciting cycle began again.

It was so wonderful this year to hear the squeels of excitement coming from Zoe and Sienna (a little more contained by Sienna). I watched our girls develop so much over the Christmas Holidays. Sienna started mimicking Zoe's singing and Zoe learned how to paddle my surfboard (which she believes is hers now) and went much deeper into the ocean than ever before. I've gotta say, 'Growth' is a process I enjoy helping and watching greatness form.

Holiday Fun with Poppy and Nanna

2007-12-22T17:37:00.000-08:00

Another thing that is so wonderful about Christmas is the time that we spend with people we care about and love. Zoe loves going to see her Grandparents; Nanna (alias Carol) and Poppy (alias Phil). So often through the year we can become so project focused and so easily forget the important things about life - connection.

Sienna's 2nd Birthday

2007-12-22T17:34:00.001-08:00

Ah. To be 2 years of age again. Today (actually on Dec. 21) we celebrated Sienna's 2nd Birthday with a bunch of crazy kids - aren't they all after lemonade and cake? It's so wonderful to see your children growing and developing wonderfully well. We'll if they don't, there's always some NLP at Dad's clinic.

Merry Christmas To All

Have a wonderful Christmas and the Happiest of New Years as we approach this awesome 2008!

Be sure to diarise some fun in your 2008.

Lots of Love

Rik, Rebecca, Zoe and Sienna xxxx

Hip Hip Hypnosis...

2007-12-17T03:55:00.000-08:00

Just as a wee reminder to all my NLP Students - If you go into any NLP or Coaching work, begin with the end in mind - that is see an awesome result and you will unconsciously guide yourself there (of course, you're trusting yourself so much more easily now - aren't you now...)

Also, most important. Once you begin the process - believing that you are not working alone, that is, you are working with a higher power can often lead to some mind-blowing results - which can sometimes be picked up by the camera lens (see photo and notice where the energy from my hand is directed...)

Believe you're more and you are...

Love and Joy for the Holiday Season

Lets go surfing now....

2007-12-16T21:05:00.000-08:00

In our latest NLP Masters course I lead, my brilliant students laid a challenge to me. I use alot of stories about my early days surfing in the course and they said to me, "Why aren't you still surfing- it sounds like you loved it?" And I certainly did enjoy surfing :)

So, I promised them (and me) that I would get back into it. On the Friday after the course, I boaught a new board (in the picture). It had been 12 years since exiting the water and now I was ready to re-enter it.

I wasn’t sure if it was the older body or the newer board, however I had to integrate some motivating moments as I got caught inside (surf talk for being smashed between a few sets of waves).

Thankfully they were just about 1 and ½ metres, not too big...

A nice baptism and what’s more – my old wetsuit still fits! This summer holidays it's time to hit the waves...i'll see you out there!

Thank you for checking out my blog
