Day 234: Italian-Australian Christmas

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

11.13am
Today I get the opportunity to celebrate an Italian-Australian Christmas with the lovely Iacovella family here in Brisbane. Enormous quantities of delicious food and Cliff Richards Christmas music playing in the background. I’m looking forward to the Iacovellan Christmas lunch!

Later on I’m visiting a doctor as another way (after chicken soup, resting, mangos, movies, sleeping in, vitamins, nutritous food, kinesiology etc)  to get myself well before my take-off at 12.15pm tomorrow. I’m very, very grateful for the amazing service I’ve received so far from my insurance company Gouda.

Please hold the intention for me being well enough to fly out tomorrow, just as planned. :)

7.27pm
What a beautiful lunch with loads of laughter and even more food. :) I even got Christmas gifts which was completely unexpected. Yay! I get the opportunity to celebrate with different families in different countries with different traditions. Lucky me!

I’m feeling better and better for every single hour, so if my body keeps it up I’ll be fully healthy tomorrow. I believe that it’s a combination of the very interesting kinesiology & body scan yesterday and all the support, love and healthy food from Ted & Daniela, together with you holding the intention for me being well, as well as all the joy in my life. Joy and laughter are good things. :)

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Yay! Good news!
I’ve been approved for the final application round for Sandbox, a global community of inspiring young achievers and innovators. Now they’ve asked me to share the “WOW” in me. :)

I’m asking for your support here, to make the good news even better!

Share your story!
I’d be honored if you’d share a brief story of your experience of me, especially in a way that gives Sandbox answers regarding the following:

How can we best see that Malin is a real Sandboxer full of
passion, ideas and the power to make things happen?

Sandbox values passion over grades and achievements over fancy job titles. Tell us about Malins
ambitions, and how she uses her energy to shape the world around her.

What I ask from you:
* your experience of the WOW in me
* your name, 1 sentence about you, your country

You can deliver it as a text, audio or video.

Please, send your story to malin@winwinworldtour.com on or before Wed Dec 2nd at 2pm (GMT +10).

Thank you so much!

With love,
Malin Berdette

Day 184: Being open

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Had such a valuable talk with Sean today. Cars are amazing for those heartlevel conversations. The feeling in my body… being open and vulnerable. I’m grateful for staying with the boyz here. What I pick up through osmosis by being around them is changing my life. No doubt about it.

I’m glad that I add something too by being me.

The state I’m in right now… thoughtful, grounded, calm.

I know that in order to reach my goal, the most important thing is to change my perspective. To believe even more. Most of all, to start with myself. I can’t create something for others that I haven’t opened up for in my own life.

Right now my bank account is empty.
Below empty.

I am in Australia on a tourist visa.

I have decided to stay in integrity.
(meaning not working for cash)

I stay in an amazing apartment.

I’m surrounded by highly successful people.

I haven’t told anyone about where I’m at financially.

There is an infinite amount of solutions.

I am choosing to start looking for them.

I’ve been so afraid.

There are so many things that people have said along the way, that I’ve chosen to listen to and that I’ve attached restraining meanings to. Things like “making money sounds bad”, “I’m not willing to support what you’re doing in case you would make money later on” and “the intention of making a profit might be a huge turnoff for some people who would be of great value for the project”.

I’m absolutely sure that everybody has their own opinions based on their own perspectives and their own world views. And that everybody are looking to create the best possible results/situations that they possibly can.

What I’ve done is that I’ve taken all that’s said about money since I started this journey, filtered it, and come up with the most restraining and inhibitory meanings possible. And then I’ve gone victim to the meanings I’ve chosen…

And now I’m starting to smile. :)

I consider myself to be pretty aware. Still I get myself wrapped up in my own shit every now and then. Doubts, fears and disbeliefs. Hey, that’s just a waste of time.

Aron said to me at some point that every day counts, that every day is crucial and that it’s important to make the most of my time one the road. I can’t afford to waste time. I agree.

Wasting time
Not asking
Holding back
Covering up my flaws
Not sharing where I’m at
Looking like I have it all together
[insert anything that I haven't covered, but is still there]

Making the most of my time
Sharing all of me
Being completely honest
Sharing where I’m at & where I’m heading
Being clear about my intention
Receiving the support thats offered
Asking for the support that would serve me
Connecting with the ones around me
Staying in touch
Asking where others are heading
Adding values
Coming up with suggestions & solutions
Asking for feedback and/or input
[insert anything that I haven't covered that would be valuable]

Cool, let’s spend more time and energy on the second list.

Note to self
C’mon girl, you have the power to create whatever you set your mind to, no doubts whatsoever. Now take it on and get going. It’s just a choice, ey, and you’re in the perfect place with the perfect people to find monetary solutions. Soak it in, start talking and take some freaking action. NOW!
