Hello my loyal readers and followers. VivBounty here to share with you my new niche, VivBounty Inspires Manifests. This blog was my very first blog and so I blogged about everything here, not really focusing on a particular niche.
My third blogging class with my mentor extraordinaire, who is now my partner online, TrudyVan comes to an end tomorrow. Again I have learned tons of new stuff about the blogger platform and yet again I have managed to get more focus and direction as I pursue my Internet marketing business and strengthen my online presence. Read more here >>>
Thank you once, again, TrudyVan. You continue to inspire and amaze me.
All things related to online business, Internet and affiliate marketing will now be posted in my new blog, VivBounty OnlineBizGuide at the link above.
For a long time now I have contemplated starting a spiritual blog. As you may have read in my complete profile, I am a reiki practitioner and find great truth and comfort in my spirituality. In simple everyday life, there are what a cherished relative once called, "little lights of dawning". Those are the little gems I hope to share here on my VivBounty Inspires Manifests blog, not the sort of hocus pocus stuff often associated with the paranormal and certainly not the spooky stuff, but just the stuff that has inspired me and worked for me along life's journey, I call my "Safari To Success".
At some point as I came to embrace my love of writing and spirituality in the last decade or so it surprised me to learn that, as a result of my spirituality and belief that love transcends death, I wrote and delivered three eulogies for loved ones. That was very nice, but again, I didn't want to become known as the eulogy guru. My reference group (sisters, friends, those I've created greetings for) encouraged me to seek employment with greeting card companies, such as Hallmark, Blue Mountain and the like. I tried to envisage that but found I could not pump out anonymous emotion.
In the midst of all the fog of trying to figure out what to write about and how to best use this love of inspirational writing my personal works for those I love and admire have continued to touch their hearts and endear me to them, their guests, and attendees at momentous occasions.
As this is my first post to begin my new niche, I share with you here the one which holds the dearest place in my heart as it is in honour of the dearest person in my life, and where it all began for me, my one and only, most amazing Mum!
Until next time, hug someone you love and if you can't, tell them you love them.

When Someone Believes In You
Hello There. VivBounty here to share with you the intangible things in life that inspire and propel me forward. This is my HubPage about the milestones in my life along my Safari To Success, as I call it.
I would not be the person I am today were it not for the people who have believed in me along the way before I believed in myself.
Self-esteem is something many people struggle with. Young people need someone to believe in them to convince them that that can indeed do anything, be whoever they want, manifest their dream job and lifestyle.
Until next time, tell someone you believe in them.
Prosperous Blessings,
VivBounty

Love Transcends Death - a tribute to a loving dad
Love Transcends Death
Hello There, VivBounty here with a HubPage I have written, number 8 in the 30 hubs in 30 days challenge.
We as daughters, my 2 sisters and I, believe that our dad is always with us, even though he passed away 18 years ago. We have sensations of his guidance and no it's not hocus pocus, eery stuff as Halloween approaches, we usually sense him when we are going through major life-changing events.
In the link above I gave just one example for each of the three of us, but there have been many more as life takes it's turns.
I consider this to be inspirational as I continue to be grateful for my bounty, my dad's love and tutelage is certainly propelling me along. It gives hope to those who think death ends relationships. Enjoy our truths and leave me a comment if it moves you.
Prosperous Blessings,
VivBounty

The Energy With Which You Surround Yourself
We as a species are energy sponges. We are affected by the energy of the people around us. Have you ever noticed when someone arrives in an office in a bad mood that everyone is affected by this person's demeanor? Conversely, when a happy, bubbly person joins a group of people everyone's spirits are lifted or at least get lighter.
I have just spent sixteen days with my closest family members; my mum, both my sisters and one of their granddaughters, aged twenty seven months. I say sixteen days and not two weeks for the longer I live I realize how precious time with family is. We haven't done this for six years in my home. For my hubby, it's more like 4 decades and it was certainly easier in his 20s. We have become wives, aunts, mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers and variations of all those roles through time and across 3 continents since he was a young lodger in our home back
then.
Memories and special moments emerged as we talked, sang, danced, cooked, ate, drank, sewed curtains, got Mum acquainted with her Mother's Day gift from us, a new laptop and bonded as only a loving family can.
Our littlest addition, my great-niece, was full of boundless joy and curiosity. Seeing the world through her eyes and watching her interact with our 85-lb dog, Pedro was profoundly fascinating. They communicated almost telepathically as they stood eye-to-eye, most of the time with her arm around his neck. They shared toys, walks along the river bank and if we hadn't kept an eye on them, would have shared their food, too! When we were excited about our plans for the day or the evening, Pedro and the baby were excited too. When the baby cried, Pedro was sad and concerned. Energy is a powerful force and none more sensitive to it than babies and animals. We could learn a thing or two from watching them.
Much as we may get on her nerves with our boisterous laughter when we are together, compounded with partial hearing loss and magnified by her hearing aid, Mum loves nothing more than to have all her girls together under one roof where she spoils us as only a mother can. Likewise we sisters blossom when we are together. Projects that each of us have not managed to complete for the past year or two were finished with teamwork and the inspiration of being together. This family holiday time whether annually or whenever we can gather, is when I top up my energy supply. It's the wind beneath my wings which keeps me going and allows me to be who I am come what may.
The highlight of our time together was watching a video of our eldest sister singing, at her friends' golden wedding anniversary party. As we watched there wasn't a dry eye in the house over our very own miracle who following a brain injury sixteen years ago was not expected to live through the night. Today she loves to sing and lights up a room just by walking in. Everyone who meets her is immeasurably moved and inspired and I personally feel it is because, as the song from the movie E.T. goes, she "turns on her heart light and let's it shine wherever she goes. Let's it make a happy glow for all the world to see".
I have added a clip here for you to see for yourself. Enjoy!
P.S. I wish to thank my hubby with all my heart for the long hours and hard work he put in converting and editing this video to this format making it possible to upload it to YouTube!
