“Hello Jane,

I just had lunch and thought to myself, "there's something missing". I couldn't put my finger on it, but then I glanced out of the corner of my eye at a rather magnificent work of art (well I think so!)⬇️

Ahh, my wonderful hand-painted mug!

Then it came to me, Jane's 6.08 am (ish) email is missing - I usually read it on Friday lunchtime.

That reminded me that I said I would share pics of my mug, well here they are Jane and hopefully they will help the "randomness".

BTW, the kids took the p**s out of my writing on the bottom - bloody cheek!

Happy Friday

»Transitions: Deconstruct. Reset. Manifest. by Yvette Masure | Health is Wealth 🌱

Frequently, our plans go off grid, but that often leads to unexpected creativity that leads to growth.

Challenges do enable growth, and can be blessings in disguise.

For growth we do not always need to change what we do, but almost always we have to change who we are.

Intuition always has and will lead my way.

And perhaps we deserve more than we planned on, anyway.

Deconstruct. Reset. Manifest.

From writing articles in the Random Dialogues’ Newsletter, I decided to ‘reset’ and give short talks at networking events. I spoke about a couple of areas I work in, and also spoke at Random Dialogues Live (6 speakers 6 minutes each with 6 different random topics), on the topic of “Sound Frequency Healing‘. This is now on Youtube.

Over the years, my articles have also been published in the “British Acupuncture Council Quarterly” magazine: ACU, for its members. This year they moved forward into digital readership and the public domain. I wrote on various topics in alternative therapies and wellbeing - my hobby of caligraphy, not a pro, was enjoyed, printed, and appreciated.

In my last article for the Summer edition, they titled me as a ‘Sound Healer’. My transition from lifestyle as a pro acupuncturist for 30 years, and my lifestyle change from living abroad for many years to now be based again in the UK, was now in ‘deconstruct’ mode and to be reset, living again, after covid restrictions, with my family in UK.

The article included my ‘reset’, networking with my new community in Guildford: Business Buzz, Random Dialogues, and as always LinkedIn and Instagram posts. Also my Youtube videos from many years ago, but timeless, have come full circle. To ‘manifest‘

Here and now, the article is to be published in the Random Dialogue Newsletter next week, with all those links to explore and enjoy, Friday 31st August 7 am.

Titled “Transitions : Sound Healing and Creative Thought”.

I hope you will read and enjoy it .
