Life Will Never Be the Same!

Exactly like the Butterfly effect - It has been said that something as small as a flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world.

Whatever decision we make has an effect on us and the people around us..

I have had my fair share from the school of hard knocks

I personally would like to call them warnings and experiences\'85.
Always looking for the bright side of life, searching for the answers that were hidden deep inside of me.
I was watching a TV info commercial back in 1999 one midday week whilst I was caring for my children.
In awe this add captured my heart and soul.

Before I knew it, I was on the phone and ordered the product..
In angst I awaited for my parcel, living in Cooktown meant that the 21 days from the USA, would be at least 42 days, if it didn't fall off the back of the truck (and that did happen a lot)
I remember the day well, I rushed home from the Post office (we didn't have and still don't have postal services)
I ripped open the package, Bradley and Amie were out side playing I had disc one in my cd player, sitting on the floor with my cigs and a cup of coffee, I was ready\'85.
Then I heard a sound of a car pulling up in my driveway.. I was thinking who is this\'85?
My life long girlfriend turned up.

The conversation went along the lines of
" Omg you should see what I have, this is awesome, Can change your life Give you answers ect ect. I went on.
She stopped me mid sentence and said.
"So What are you doing with this stuff"
I thought I had just explained that?
Still excited I started telling her word for word what the commercial said;
She said that's rubbish. If you honestly believe you need this stuff, you should go and book yourself into the clinic, there is nothing wrong with you or your brain and she left..
Might I say that she took the wind out of my sails;
I packed the box up and as they say the rest is history!
Until - June 2010 I heard this Guru was coming to Sydney Only might I add to speak for 2 hours in a 3 day seminar, I was in, I had booked my tickets accommodation and gave the matter no thought.
As Tony Robbins spoke that day, I was covered from head to toe with Goosebumps.
I kept pinching myself I was on a high - who else spoke that weekend - I only vaguely remember.
When I returned I was so excited that I had the opportunity to see this guy, Still however it wasn't enough to reopen the 24 cds still in plastic in my cupboard.
I got an email saying that he was coming to Sydney again to do his own 3 day seminar\'85 "Unleash The Power Within"
OMG - my tickets were booked along with my children, there was no one that could change my mind - I felt that I had wasted then ten year that had passed; I was given a second chance - This was in September 2010.
March 4/7 this year, We arrived in Sydney for our 3 \'bd days with Tony Robbins,
Day one saw us getting into peak state, What for?
We were going to walk on fire that night!
I can not explain what happened to me that night, the peak state was like an out of body experience, as the doors opened into the darkness there were 20 rows of hot coals all approx 5 meters in length.; we had been given instructions told what to do\'85
I had a buddy - Principal from Brisbane, As ironic as it may seem, I still struggle with authority figures, He was an exceptional nice guy.
I found that I couldn't see a thing that was going on, I lost my daughter, here buddy was a really cute 19 year old, so I don't think she was too worried about losing me.
I noticed that I was surrounded by men all so much taller then me - I was ever so grateful, with the African drummer music playing, and everyone clapping saying COOL MOSS I felt like I was the Queen surrounded by my tribal warrior men! It felt great and safe.
Looking at the sky, I thought to myself, I give everyone 150% of me - I had the opportunity to do Tony Robbins course in 1999 and I listened to my friends, I didn't listen to me.
Tonight is all about me, Walking on coals is for me and me only, If I achieved this I could do anything.
Still Clapping we started to form into single line, my buddy was behind me, I stepped up onto the wet grass, I knew what was next, still clapping I did my move, looked to the sky and took my step forward onto the coals.

My brain was distant I could feel the inner critic thoughts coming in;
"Like What the hell are you doing, this is 1000 degreesl and your walking on it"
I chose to tune those thoughts out and concentrate on what I wanted to achieve and that was walking on fire;
Still clapping and saying Cool Moss Cool Moss;
I was then stopped by two people. Who held onto me ever so tightly and screaming at me, "Wipe your feet, Wipe your feet "
like a robot I wiped my feet then I felt the cold water from the hose;
I came back, from wherever I was, my feet had a burning sensation as a few coals were stuck between my toes, Totally thrilled with my achievement, I found myself jumping up and down doing whoop whoop.
The atmosphere was fantastic 3500 people clapping, dancing after they walked, it was amazing energy, and that was day one. We had only been there for 9 hours.
Our Days were long, we all lived and breathed the energy, I have never felt so ecstatic ever, however not long enough the second day found us removing our limiting beliefs, and reprogramming our sub conscious,
We didn't have schedule meal breaks; most of us lived on pure energy.
Sunday was Day three 6th March was special day, Amie turned 16 she was born at 12.40am and this was about the time we arrived back at the motel, We gave her the presents, she cried and well all started to cry.
On this day 16 years, I had my near death experience whilst I was in labour with her and I was so grateful that I could be with her 16 years later, and that I hadn't decided to go and leave both of these beautiful people behind..
Day three was off to a great start, however it got better,
Bradley Amie and I had the opportunity to meet Anthony Robbins all 3 of us and get our pictures taken,
It was the most amazing experience, here is Amie on her sixteenth Birthday getting a kiss from Tony Robbins, I could only make a squeak sound as he approached me\'85 Tony Robbins took my sons hand and said "I know you" Bradley goes that's not possible mate\'85 Tony looked into his eyes and said "I have met you before", So powerful, Bradley came off the stage in tears;
I had the most amazing insight!
I believe that I was given another chance, this time I can take my own Peers with me on this journey,
Day four was our health and our bodies.
Tony Spoke about the Alkaline levels in our blood, our limp glads, overall how to energise our bodies to live in peak state.
After the seminar we were given a 10 day challenge, the challenge was to give up meat, dairy, whites, fats, oils and all chemicals and caffeine..
It wasn't a challenge it was more like a god send, I felt great at the seminar and I feel absolutely fantastic now..
I can see why I have a profession as a Coach, standing on the stage with Anthony Robbins felt so right, I had no nerves what so ever,
What an amazing place it is to be to help others, inspire and show them the absolute possibilities that they can achieve.
Life will Never be the same!
