Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day in the Woody’s House.

On Wednesday 11/11/2009 we remembered.

I took Hayden to a Remembrance Day at Bribie Island. He went in his army Cadet Uniform to represent unit 123ACU.  He with five of his friends stood proud and represented the fine men from Army Cadets. Remembering those that lost their lives for us to live ours.

So very Proud of you Hayden.

Also wishing Zachery (our second woody boy) a Happy 14th Birthday for 11/11.

What an amazing Day in Woody’s house…with Woody’s Boys growing into fine men.

Love you guys.

They Shall Grow Not Old,

As we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun and in the Morning.

We Will Remember Them.

We Will Remember Them.

Love you boys….so very proud of you.

Lisa Wood.

 

Back On Track…

From Last Week, To Back On Track.

Last Week was not a good week....

This Week is so much better and I am back on Track.

I have shaken myself out of feeling frustrated, to writing in my goal book…using pictures and words to feel so much better.

1. We printed out a photo of our house, with Sold written across it.

2. I placed it into my goal book with writing saying how grateful that I am for selling our house.

3. With a date for the house to be sold before November, Moving into our new house before Christmas 2009.

4. Details with how good it feels to move our life forward…..rewards waiting for us at our new house.

5. The next stage of our lives….

6. David getting the direction he wants for his life.

7. How good Christmas will be at the beach.

It feels so amazing to be back on track, and have a very positive mindset.

That is gold.

Thanks for your support and love, thoughts and well wishes sent our way last week.

Looking forward to seeing “SOLD” sign on the “FOR SALE” sign out the front….Looking forward to spending every day at the Beach

Frustrated Turned around and Back On Track this week at Woodys House!!!

Lisa from Woodys House.

 

Totally Frustrated

Today I sit and I am not in the best of moods, which I know is not good for me.

But that is what I am feeling.

Totally Frustrated….

We have our house on the market. It is presented to the best of its ability and the Real Estates in the local area all agree that it is the best house in the area for its price.

We have painted.

We have put in a new Oven, New Rangehood.

The laundry is completed.

The Main bedroom looks so yummy with a Natural White Colour.

The Curtains are all done.

The yard is starting to green up with the rain we have been having in the last week.

The garden beds are looking so great, gee my roses are in full bloom and my Grandma would be smiling down.

BUT…..

We have had so many potential buyers walk through the door, love the style of the house, love what we have done with it…

Here are the excuses we are receiving

1. The neighbors are all too close

2. The yard is not big enough

3. There are TOO MANY Trees!!!

4. Wished we had brought it before we purchased our house recently!!

And so I am Totally Frustrated.

I sit and I wonder WHY?

We have a goal book, We have pictures, We have written down what we want to happen. We know how the law of attraction works.

We look at the area we want to move to each weekend, online every few days and have seen so many houses that would be perfect for us.

What is keeping us from moving forward? Is there anything else that we can do so that the universe will provide for our family? Please Please Please, let us move forward.

We have most of our house packed and in storage already…

We are looking forward to moving to the beach, I Love The Beach, The kids have so much fun at the Beach.

Totally Frustrated….

Hope the mood goes soon, and that the house is sold asap.

Please

Lisa

The Wind Came

How Can a tree do this?

The Wind Came And Brought Down A Tree!!

On Tuesday just gone we had a storm. It was not a particular fierce storm, nor a very long storm.

The Wind Came and The Tree Came Down

The shed that is gone

But it was enough to bring down our neighbors tree…..and gee did it do some damage. NOT sure how a tree could do this but here are the photos so you can see how a shed became flat….how contents were damaged, and even a BBQ was flatter than a pancake….

After the wind calmed down, and the damage could be assessed, it was a moment to thank the Gods that be that no one was in the back yard close to where the tree landed, that the neighbors were safe inside the house, and that the tree landed the way it did.

The following day we had more wind….but lucky all the trees remain standing.

The neighbors now have the fun part…..trying to deal with the Insurance company to work out who pays for what…….because the tree was actually not on our neighbors property but actually on the neighbour next to them land, (not ours lucky!!) the insurance company (s) are trying to work out who is responsible and who has to pay for what.

Also because it was water damaged inside the side our wonderful neighbours have to fill separate claims to the insurance company, separate quotes, separate companies to come out and clean it all up!!

Wednesday saw a tree company come into to cut the tree down, and mulch the smaller branches.

Another company will have to come in and take away all of the broken bits of the shed.

What gets me emotionally…..is that the shed was actually part of our house, because our beautiful old house is over 100 years old, and is the original house for the D’aguilar area. Not sure if that means it is part of history, but once upon a time this house that we live for the moment was the only house in D’aguilar area……with the land used as a pig farm!!!

Not 100% sure how much land was with our house but it was acreage. When we moved in there was no fences between our neighbour who lost there shed and our house, Hubby had to put the fence up!!

So The Wind Came, and with it The Shed For The House of D’aguilar went with it.

Here’s to making history, and creating new history.

Life Is Full Of Surprises

Life Sometimes Surprises Me!!

Sometimes in Life I get so very surprised. A nice Surprise. Not sure how it works…Does it happen because there was a reason for the surprise? Or because a person has been good? Or nice? OR does the Surprise just happen because it just does?

I often question myself throughout the day. “Am I doing all that I can?” or “Am I living my life the way I am meant to live it?”. DO you do the same?

Today was a nice surprise. My wonderful caring husband made me a coffee and brought it to me in bed. And also made me breakfast and brought it to me in bed. Then cleaned the kitchen, folded the washing and took two of our boys shopping with him.

Was It A Surprise For A Reason?

Or just because I needed so much needed time to myself? I like to think of it being a very nice surprise. Life keeps giving us both some really nice surprises lately. Here are some of our wonderful surprises of late.

1. A fellow blogger recently left a comment on one of my blogs…what a blast.

2. On Friday I made sales online….making more money than I spent at the shops on Friday.  What a Buzz.

3. David won money at a conference he attended yesterday.

4. My oldest came home this afternoon from staying at a friends house and he was in a very good mood. He even cleaned the whole kitchen for us after dinner tonight….Love you babe.

5. David made me coffee in be this morning. And took two of our boys shopping so I could have a day of R & R.  Love you heaps

6. I am feeling like I am on top of the moon tonight…and its a good feeling.

7. Felt like the phone was going to ring today and I knew before I picked up the phone who it was going to be. I was correct, and no we don’t have a caller I.D.  It was just my inner voice talking and I listened.

8. Last but not least…. The best Surprise left till the last. I was on facebook when I came across this amazing surprise…You can be in the chance to win a Briefcase full of goodies worth $2000.00. Inside the Briefcase is important surprises… it is filled with a fantastic Secret Science of Getting Rich audio and visual materials and an MP3 Player loaded with audio from Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield.  Sounds Interesting? For your chance to win the surprise go to http://TopTenSuccessTips.com.  I will sure be checking it out…That is one Briefcase I would so LOVE to win!! 

Life is Full Of Surprises.

I did not even have to cook dinner. How much more can one Girl take? HEAPS!! Bring it…I So Love Surprises.

There is only one more Surprise I would really like…..That’s the Selling of our House.

Selling our house will be the icing on the cake. We can then move forward….closer to the beach. Closer to living the life of our dreams.

Bring On That Surprise….Bring IT ON!!!

Love the Law of Attraction. Love how it works, and how it keeps on working.

Looking forward to having a week for of surprises. What would be your best surprise? Come on….would love to hear from you.  I know from the Data that I have vistors…so don’t be so shy….let me know your thoughts.

Love Surprises.

Loving Life To The Fullest.

Cheers

Woodys House

Here are just a few photos of our house, and why I have been so full on busy lately, and have not had much time to myself.

We have finally finished our project of renovating our very old queenslander. It took us three weeks of 1.30 am mornings to get it all finished, and only seven years of living with it as is:)

We are proud to be selling our house, and moving our life forward to the beach, but yet its a bitter sweet move. I am feeling different feelings on different days. Happy to be going, sad to to say goodbye, Happy to be moving near to the beach as I love walking and breathing the fresh sea air. Glad to be going to a more positive area. Sad to say good bye to all that we know. Will so miss my beautiful Rose Garden.

Actually that is what I will miss the most. I planted the Rose Garden in my grandmothers last memory. Her favorite was yellow, and I placed them next to red roses which was her next favorite ones. So sorry that I have to leave them behind.

Happy to be finally finished all of the hard work.

Happy to have a house that is clean most of the time.

Stressed out trying to keep it that clean!!

Will place a more photos here soon, and a video. Will also be listing it for sale on eBay!!

Cheers and love sent your way

Taking a break

Taking a Break for awhile

I have been taking a break from the blogging world for just a little while.

Not sure why? Just felt like my life was busy enough at the moment that I needed to spend time on our family, our life and more importantly how I was feeling as a person.

One thing that I have noticed about the internet…is that if you are out there in the wide web world, and you write from the heart, then some one that does not know you personally can and will have their two cents worth to say.

Sometimes that can be a good thing….other times not so good.

Sure I am being honest.

Sure I can expect honest people to reply. I get that….I so understand that.

What I don’t get, and cant understand is others that think they have a right to say from their heart, words that can and do hurt others. I have been following a few blogs for sometime now….blogs that are very deep and personal. They are from families that share their happiness, their sorrow and their grief from a very deep level. They also share how their heart is slowly mending and how their life is moving on.

What got me so upset, that upset that it has taken me weeks of courage to get back here onto the internet, is useless comments from other bloggers, bloggers that do not know each other on a personal level or even on a friendship level, feel that they have a right to say things that should never ever be said.

So hence I took a long Break.

But Now I am Back.

Stronger, happier, clearer and more determined to live the life I deserve to live.

It is going to be interesting times ahead for our family….we are heading into a new phase of our life, with lots of deep soul searching.

At the other end of this journey will be different people. Different but better and stronger people.

So if you have a blog, and you know how it feels to be where I have been in the last few weeks…..let me know!!

I so love to hear from you on your journey.

Here’s to Life, Happiness, Love, Laughter and Happier Times for All.

Love and Happiness sent your way.

Lisa Wood.

 

Sorry, I’m Still Here!!

So Sorry For Not Getting ON Here To Post!!

Lately I have been stretched for time…really stretched:)

We (our whole family) is moving House. We are packing up and moving closer to the beach. So I have not had time to scratch myself.

From packing, cleaning, phone calls, running around like a mad women (to say the least)….that is why I have neglected my blogs, and for that I really say sorry

Please accept that I am here, I will be back here in FULL soon, but just bear with me as we get ready to place our house on the market.

Have you moved house lately? Gosh how much junk can one household have collected in over 6 years?  I never realised how much rubbish we had collected in each cupboard. When I say rubbish, I mean “items” that we thought we really needed.  Items that we brought over the years when out and about shopping, spending money on goods that we did not really need, use, want or had to have to survive. SO after a mad two weeks, I have de-cluttered my house (lifeline you must be happy)…taken heaps of things to the dump and packed everything that I can possible pack to make our house look bigger.

Adding Value

With packing nearly everything into boxes, and cleaning out cupboards, moving around furniture and getting rid of furniture that we do not need (again lifeline you will be receiving!!) we are hoping to add value to the house.

Must remember to take photos of the end results so you can see how amazing our house looks now.

To think that it has taken us over six years of renovating, now in the last two weeks we are getting on top of last minute jobs that we have been putting off!!!

Why Move?

We are moving closer to the beach. I love the beach….so very much. We are always heading off to the beach so it makes sense to finally move there. We (David and I) have been talking about the beach for some time….and I got sick of talking about it so now its time to do something about it.

So Sunshine Coast here we come!!

Will be trying to post here more regularly, once the house is on the market, the boxes that are already packed placed into storage….then I am hoping I can breathe again.

Until then Please keep me in mind when you are sitting back to relax with a drink or two….because at the moment both David and I are doing over 15 hour days, only stopping quickly to eat, drink (water!!), shower, sleep and are lucky if we can scratch our selves

Till next time….Stay Healthy, Keep Smiling, Be successful in your own world.
