My Out-of-Body Experiences
Slowly I awoke to the strangest sensation. It was as if my body was disconnected from the rest of me. My vision was not quite clear but I was able to see my right hand flung over a pillow. At the same time, I found myself not having physical control of any bodily movement. I experienced an odd separation between body and spirit. My mind was talking in the background, attempting to assess the situation. If anything, I could sense my spirit hovering near my body; close, but not close enough to know that I was One and whole.
Trick Or Treat?

A Real Treat?
Against the backdrop of a moon-lit sapphire sky, a nun in flowing robes stood at the pavement. She was looking out for a cab. Soon, one came along. She climbed in.
While giving instructions for the destination of where she would like to go, she noticed that the VERY handsome cab driver staring at her. After a fifteen-minute drive, he still kept on glancing at her every now and then.
Be Careful What You Wish For

Be Careful What You Wish For or You Just May Get it so the saying goes!
Seated quietly in a romantic corner of a dimly lit restaurant was a married couple in their 60s. They brought their glasses of champagne together in a toast. There was every reason to celebrate. It was their 30th wedding anniversary that day.
In a whiff of smoke, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared before them, hovering over the table. She said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”

Should The Poor Mexican Fisherman Give Up Contentment For Cash?

In a quiet Mexican fishing village, an American who was on vacation saw a local fisherman unloading his catch. He decided to approach him.
The American asked the fisherman, “why are you finishing your day so early?”
The Mexican replied “Oh Senor, I have caught enough to feed my family and a little extra to sell for today. It is now time to go for lunch with my family and have a siesta. In the afternoon, I can play with my kids. In the evening, I will go to the cantina, drink a little tequila and play the guitar.”
Blog Action Day 08: Poverty
Today, October 15, is Blog Action Day. Bloggers around the world unite on this day for their various contributions to a central theme. This year round, the spotlight is on Poverty.
My thoughts are that if being poor is not bad enough, imagine being hit by a natural disaster! Located around Singapore (where I come from) are less developed countries that are continually hit by strong winds, rains or earthquake.

Once upon a time, there was an artist. He loved to paint. He would spend hours painting beautiful pictures. He was happy, for he was engaged creatively.
Then, one day, he met with a motor bike accident one day. It was an accident, which was near fatal. He did survive however; but had to amputate his right arm, the arm that he used to paint with.

Neale Donald Walsch was at a low point in his life when he decided to write a letter to God. He wanted to vent his frustrations. However, to his amazement, he received a response. What transpired after that were extraordinary answers to all his questions about life, beliefs, traditions, religion, family, sex and war, amongst others. His three books based on Conversations with God are in a Q&A format; very readable and yet profound in the answers contained within. Now translated into 34 languages, they have touched the lives of millions around the world.
What Enneagram Type Am I?
I was often asked this question by those who are confused: What Enneagram Type am I?
As an Enneagram Executive Coach, I’d like to offer the suggestion to first read about each of the 9 personality types that the Enneagram comprises of. Below is the follow up to the updated post on Enneagram Quiz: How Would You Cross the River.
According to the Enneagram, we have one core Personality Type. It appears that we are either born with it or that it can be the result of early nurturing. This core is home base and it doesn’t change. It describes you the most. If you are a bird, which is free to roam and to explore all other types, you always come flying home. You reside in this sector; as if it is a familiar nest.
How Would You Cross The River?
How would you cross the river? Take this Enneagram test.
Which out of the below 9-styles are you:-
ONEs approach the river from the one and only perfect place to cross.
TWOs start to cross the river, then double back to help others to cross. As they get to do this, they never get to cross themselves.
THREEs wear their best and wait at the edge until they are the center of attention. Then, they do attractive, eye-catching strokes as they cross the river.
My Abundance Mind Movie
In between watching Wall-E, The Mummy III and a Singapore production Money No Enough, I was in my Dreamworks studio (aka my study) working with “Zhang Yi Mou, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas” for two entire weekends. Relying on a shoestring budget of less than $20, production of my Mind Movie wrapped up late yesterday. While it could do with more editing, I have decided to roll the video out in conjunction with Positive Thinking Day (Sept 13). The only reason why this post was not out earlier (like many hours ago) was because of Youtube having server maintenance; contributing to problems in uploading.
