Heartwork Heather's How to Cooeee instructional video

My funny friend Heartwork Heather's Instructional Video - How to Cooeee!!!
http://gallery.me.com/heartworkheather#100815

I helped my friend on Twitter, Heartwork Heather, teach people who are not from Australia how to Cooeee on video. Cooeeeing is an Australian traditional way by which you can get the attention of someone, especially if they are not within eyesight range.

After our one-to-one instructional phone session on how to use imovie on her Mac, she went away and created this video. I was very proud of her efforts as this was her first video she had made with imovie.

I really enjoyed helping Heather with this project and I know there are other women out there that sometimes struggle with learning new technology or like Heather, just are not sure where to start with a new program and just need a leg up.

If you need one-to-one tuition in how to make the most of some of the technology that surrounds you, especially Mac users, please feel free to follow me on Twitter (WomenCan) or email me and I can let you know what I offer through my business, Up Front Training & Motivation.

A prayer song for my soul...

Tonight I was feeling quite sad and burdened, as you do after going through some major heart work. So as I sat at my computer I decided to sing a prayer and record it. I didn't judge the words or melody, I just let it flow out of me. Then I layered voices over it. This is the end result - I hope you enjoy it. :)))

Sweet Music by Hayley Solich

Processing...the inner workings of the heart.

When you go through something significant and painful, I find it is the most extraordinary time where there is so much going on below the surface.

For example, if you suffer an injury. The injury may be healed, but the memory of the injury just seems to linger.

So I guess it is no wonder that almost a week on I am still "sore" about what happened last weekend when I learned my painful life lesson.

Is it that I am in "victim" mode, looking for someone to blame for my bad choices? Or is it that I am genuinely trying to comprehend the "why" about what I did. Or could it simply be that this one small event has triggered a heap of unresolved issues that are suddenly surfacing???

Part of me wants to believe that I am relatively in touch with my own emotions and do not need for work on the inner being but another part is saying that all the pain from the years of abuse as a child, the abandonment as a young woman and the ongoing dramas as a mother and wife simply need to find room for expression to be released from my life.

I have been reflecting on the time I spent passing through the "valley of the shadow death", that deep dark place of despair and depression following my son's birth in 2002. Was I just tired and overwhelmed, retreating into a space that protected me or did I have a chemical imbalance due to multiple births in a short space of time? How did I end up there? What could I have done better?

Once again, part of me wants to believe that the children were to blame but another part of me sees it as an accumulative effect in my life and that I chose an "out", the most accessible "out". For it was easier to blame a condition, than to accept the reality of my choices.

So, here I am cogitating...vascillating...contemplating. Which way will I jump? Self-condemnation or self-acceptance. Time will tell.

The beauty of a life lesson learned - Got a story to share?

Time...the great dealer and great revealer...marches on.

As I am reflecting back on my life lesson, the lessons just keep on rolling. Isn't it funny? You sit with yourself and suddenly, after all this struggle, you feel comfortable, in control and able to shut out all the noise, centre and focus.

So what can you expect from the I Can Woman in the future?

An abundance of wisdom - all learned the hard way - and I would love to invite others to post their life lessons. Why not email me your story so I can post it on the All Things Women blog? What hard life lesson did you learn and how?

I'm really looking for some great stories to include in my book that I am currently writing entitled "Fat Girls Can Dance!" - Defying the critics. So if you've got a great story of a difficult life lesson you learned and the inspirational outcome, please take the time to make a contact. If you're not a writer, let us connect on Skype and I can write your story for you.

I look forward to hearing all those wonderful life lessons! I was amazed at just how many people popped by and read my lesson, then took the time to post about it on Twitter or on the blog. You could be making that kind of ripple in the pool of life, so please, contact me or post in the comments.
