Masai Time
Recently at a Possibility Evening a participant shared this story, which I LOVE!
She was in Kenya and was fascinated by the behaviour of the Masai warriors – those tall, thin, regal tribes people.

One of the things that she noticed is that after running or walking for a distance, they come to a place of rest and simply stand in still centeredness in their natural environment for a period of time – seemingly doing nothing. After observing this behaviour many times she managed to converse with one of the Masai and asked him why they do this. The answer…
“at times we need to stand still to allow our souls to catch-up with us.”
What a beautiful and magnificent lesson for us all in this frenetic, crazy, busy world that we find ourselves in.
In my book, “The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What you Want”, I write about the importance of aligning body, mind and soul to form a solid foundation to be able to create and manifest what you want. The soul connection is a vital component to living a fulfilled life.
Like the Masai, at times you too need to stand in stillness, centeredness and doing nothing – because it is during those times that you will feel your soul catching up and returning to you.
So during this week carve out some “Masai” time for yourself and watch as the beauty and fullness of life returns.

Book – The Fairy Godmother’s Guide

At times we all need a Fairy Godmother to help us make our dreams come true
Well, what if a modern-day Fairy Godmother wrote a guide book that you could use to turn dreams and goals into reality? It is almost as good as having her with you, in person, waving her wand.
Oshun Books is delighted to be part of spreading the magic by publishing The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What you Want by Donna McCallum (also known as The Fairy Godmother!)
The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What you Want is a self-help book with a difference. It does not claim to offer readers a quick fix: “Anyone trying to sell you the ‘secret’ to happiness,” says the author, “is another drug dealer in this world of pop psychology”. Rather, it offers readers who are willing and ready to take responsibility for their lives guidelines to living the life they want.
The premise of the book is based on 3 principles
1. Aligning mind, body and soul so that you may …
2. Discover what it is you really want, and thus …
3. Manifest (make real) your dreams and desires
Methods that have been tried and tested by the author herself and over a thousand “Daring Dreamers” who have benefited from her programs, will provide the reader with practical know-how to help map out goals, find direction and achieve their dreams.
The book is infused with a positive, generous spirit. Journal exercises, case studies and personal anecdotes will inspire and motivate readers on their path towards self-discovery and fulfillment.
The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What you Want is available in Exclusive Books and C.N.A. Stores around South Africa or you can buy a copy online.
