A Journey with Bernie

BERNIE NEEDS A HOUSE SITTER because A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE leave Brisbane on Nov 7 for a 4-week holiday in Nepal and India. We return Dec 8.

As you can see by the images the luck sitter/s are in for a one month treat with a lifestyle that you won't want to leave. I want a house-sitter who will commit to watering my plants in the morning. It's a 20-minute job. Start at 6.30 am ... all finished by 7 pm ... then duck downstairs to THE BROWN DOG CAFE for your latte !!

BUT I do have some conditions ...

Not essential, but I am preferring either just one reliable mature person or a good ol' travelling happy couple.
Sorry guys, this place is not built for a pet or a smoker.
Red wine ... be careful. The place is carpeted !!
Because it has a rooftop with a first class gym, a swimming pool that is so inviting in this summer weather, superb restaurants within walking distance and a coffee shop at Ground Level, there is going to be plenty of applicants, so it is essential that I meet you in person and brief you on either Nov 4, 5 or 6.

If you are interested in this peaceful almost retreat type lifestyle apply by emailing me your 'stuff' and dot point history to ...

Do it soon or you will miss out. I am eager to select the lucky one/s sooner than later.

Chers for now ...

Do not shrink to fit into spaces you’ve outgrown. Do not mould yourself into someone who makes everyone else comfortable while silencing your own voice.

You weren’t born to live a life designed by someone else. You weren’t meant to follow a script handed to you by family, society, or anyone who told you what you should be. That kind of life might look polished on the outside- but inside, it can be hollow.

Real power comes from choosing yourself. From getting clear on your values and letting them shape the way you move through the world. That’s where authenticity lives- not in perfection, but in alignment. Not in doing what’s expected, but in doing what’s true.

If you want freedom, start living from your values.

Why should you read 'The Happiness Trap'?

A Journey With Bernie's mission is to help you bring more Happiness, Meaning, and Love into your life. But what IS happiness, really?

This powerful book by Dr. Russ Harris flips the script on what happiness really means. Instead of chasing constant positivity, it teaches you how to accept tough emotions, unhook from unhelpful thoughts, and focus on what truly matters to you.

It’s not about feeling good all the time—it’s about living a full, rich, and meaningful life. If you're ready to stop struggling with your feelings and start showing up for your life, read this book. Already read it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

🔊 Louder for the people in the back- YOU are totally in control!

How empowering to think that you get to decide what brings you joy, grief, sadness, love, irritation, happiness, anger, and meaning. Life happens, the good and the bad, and it is how we choose to experience life which shapes our reality.

How does this resonate with you? Where are you giving others permission to choose your reality? How would your life change if you took back control?

Why should you read 'The Power Of Now'?

Ever feel like your mind is stuck in the past or racing toward the future? 'The Power Of Now' by Eckhart Tolle is a life-changing book that teaches you how to break free from overthinking and truly live in the present.

One of the most powerful lessons from the book is that your thoughts are not you. So often, we get caught up in our minds, replaying past regrets or worrying about what’s ahead, but Tolle reminds us that peace is only found in the present moment. The more we learn to observe our thoughts rather than be controlled by them, the lighter and freer we feel.

This book is a must-read if you're looking for a mindset shift that brings clarity, calm, and real happiness. When you stop letting time—whether past or future—rule your emotions, you open yourself up to a deeper sense of joy and presence. If you’re looking for a mindset shift that brings clarity, calm, and real happiness—this book is a must-read!
