My weekend with @Frank D. is well underway and we hit the road soon to join @Gary Austin at the craft beer event in Castanheira de Pera. Last night at Baia Cultural in SMdP was off-the-sale great, fab food and house-rockin' live music! What have you got planned this weekend? 🤩😍😎

I am just creating some classroom resources about Portugal's IMT service - http://www.imtonline.pt/ - "O Futuro da Mobilidade". Why would you do this? For example: "Any transformation or change in the original characteristics of the vehicle must be communicated to the IMT", so it's good to get yourself familiarised and registered, which you can do using your NIF/Financas Portal details at the address above! PS I also just paid a 'portgens' toll road bill at the local post office, after prompts from this handy system (this for anyone who hasn't opted for the Via Verde in-vehicle transponder system). Have you registered with their online services? Feel free to add your comments and insight.

This is a long post, but it is what Lady K and I are all about. If it's of interest you can click the link at the bottom 😀 When my daughters were having driving lessons and coming up to taking their driving test, I remember saying to them (it was meant to be encouraging) that they just needed to pass. It was a once only test and once they’d passed, they’d got the certificate and whether they got a car or not then or ever drove again didn’t matter.Of course that was absolute poppycock. I know I meant well and what I said was factually true, but to my girls the only point of passing their test was to get a car and experience the freedom it brings to their life! There was no benefit in passing their test and doing nothing with it. That would have made it pointless. In our This One Thing workshops we talked about the analogy of having a car. The workshops were an opportunity to have some ‘driving lessons’ on how to create the life you dream of living. Each person focused on their goal. We shared some simple tools and techniques that anyone can do.Our desire with our This One Thing workshops was that once learned, our participants would put the tools into practise in their lives. The only way you can see the difference is by applying what you learn daily. Get in the car and drive and experience the freedom it brings to your life!We finished the 6 week hands-on workshops last week. We’re all staying in touch though through a private WhatsApp group so we can share our progress. Since we finished, the group members have been sharing stories of how they’ve put the tools into practise in their day to day life experiences and what difference it’s made. Today one person shared how they had a life situation that was making them feel negative. Then they remembered what they’d learned in the workshops and consciously thought about how they could reframe the negative emotions they had as positive thoughts instead. Here’s what they said today:“It was SO EASY and yet AMAZING - I feel so different now from when I got up this morning.”This is why we do these workshops. I can’t tell you just quite how happy 🌟 this makes us feel!The life Phil and I live today - living in Portugal, building our dream home, feeling at peace with life - is a direct result of coming to understand the power of our thoughts and actions. We want to share this with other people because anyone can do this. Anyone can consciously change their life and achieve their ‘This One Thing’.
