  • December Daily Practice: Self-care

    Happy December to you! Woohoo! I love December – despite the fact that I despise the cold and dark, December contains my birthday, Christmas, pressies galore, sparkly lights, holidays and crap tv. Hazah! Hope you are delighted to see the beginning of December too! So, a new month, and it’s time for a new daily…

  • OnTheBeach – Don’t Let The B’s Grind You Down

    My parents have a saying “Don’t let the b*stards grind you down” – and there are times when this is the most pertinent advice that can be given! Because this is exactly what happens if you’re not vigilant – years and years of criticism, minor annoyances and unsupportiveness can just grind down your good humour…

  • What’s Your Big Dream?

    The other day I read this blog post by Danielle LaPorte and it got me thinking. What’s YOUR big dream? What do you dream of happening in your life? What would you ask the ‘life fairy godmother’ to wave her magic wand and give you? If there were no limitations, what would you do? Do…

  • Stop Looking At What You Ain’t Got

    [caption id="attachment_2486" align="alignleft" width="200" caption=" "][/caption]I had a vague thought in the back of my mind to write something about thankfulness and gratitude today, as it’s Thanksgiving in the States. Even though we don’t have that celebration here, I feel like I do…because I read lots of newsletters and blogs from folks in the states!…

  • OnTheBeach – Time to Make a Difference

    I find this time of year really interesting when it comes to people’s goals/intentions/plans for their lives. Oh, it’s December, no point starting a healthy eating plan now. Oh, it’s nearly Christmas, I can’t give up smoking now. I’ll start 2012 with a resolution to drink less/save more/find a new job/date more/connect with my intuition/design…

  • OnTheBeach – Revealing the Sculpture

    Michelangelo said that a sculptor just chipped away at a stone to reveal the beauty within. This got me thinking – isn’t this what we all do with our lives? We hold a vision of the life we want and start chipping away to reveal that life…by getting the education we want, the job, the…

  • If You Can’t Think Of Anything Nice to Say, You’re Not Trying Hard Enough

    You will probably have heard the saying “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”. But all that means is that you have a lot of ‘not-nice’ things unsaid. So I’d like to challenge you now – think of someone that you have nothing nice to say about…and try harder to find…

  • 7 Weeks To Christmas!

    I’m sorry, I mentioned the C word…but it really is only 7 weeks away…how did that happen? I am normally one of these people who ignores the fact that Christmas is coming until about the 11th December (just after my birthday!), but this year I have been a little bit more organised and started getting…

  • OnTheBeach – Taking Inspired Action

    When you are working towards a goal (say, having a life full of purpose, passion and joy for example!), what sort of action do you take? Do you take the next logical step, even when every fibre of your being is screaming at you to do something illogical and seemingly unrelated? Or do you follow…

  • Wishcasting: How Do You Wish To Nourish Yourself?

    It’s Wishcasting Wednesday. There is power in wishing – putting your wishes out there sets mighty forces into action… How Do You Wish To Nourish Yourself? I wish to nourish myself with love for myself, support for myself, 100% belief in myself. I wish to nourish myself with joy, laughter, self-expression, fun, dance (see the…
