  • My Mojo Came Back – WOOHOO!

    Folks, my mojo is BACK! Yeah baby! As you may have noticed, I’ve been competing with ‘Mr Grumpy’ for the title of ‘Grumpiest Person in the World’ for the past month or so. Ever since I got back from my holiday, I’ve been creatively dampened, uninspired, a bit pessimistic (for me), and of course, grumpy.…

  • The Year In Review

    I’ll be honest, this is not the time of year I am at my best. I am not a fan of the cold, ice, snow, wearing 200 layers of clothing. So to distract myself from the cold, ice, etc I’ve been looking back at the last year to remind myself what I’ve achieved this year,…

  • Pat On The Back

    Lately I’ve received quite a few pats on the back for my website/blog. I received a LOVELY e-mail last week thanking me for my ramblings (they didn’t say ramblings, but that’s how I like to think of my blog!). A couple of ‘new’ friends have complimented my fabulous website and blog, and then yesterday I…

  • OnTheBeach – The Gift of Life

    Over the past few years, the frailty and fragility of life has been brought home to me at this time of year – my uncle passed away at the end of October, the following year one of my friends lost her fight for life at the end of November. And with Christmas and my birthday…

  • Hidden Away and Unloved

    A few months ago I had a refit of my office – new colour on the walls, new flooring, new storage unit. All the boxes and bags of junk I had been storing in here went into the garage. My intention was to clear them all out over the next couple of weeks. Months down…

  • Flip it on its Head

    Apologies for being late with my newsletter article this week – I was busy yesterday being exceedingly grumpy! Partly hormonal, partly because I cannot bear the cold, the snow, basically I don’t like winter! As far as I’m concerned, bears have the right idea hibernating for the winter. One of my ambitions in life is…

  • Enjoying the Win

    Last week, I was at a client’s offices and in the meeting room they had a picture titled “Face each problem with a will to win” with a picture of athletes in agony (marathon runners by the look of them). I admire the sentiment. Determination, tenacity and will gets you far. BUT. It’s the agony…

  • Who Owns the Room?

    How are you on this fine November day? I am sitting in front of my new super light – it’s an early birthday present to help me to stop getting the hump just because it’s winter, it’s dark, it’s cold…ugh, roll on spring! Anyway, I decided we needed an article to remind us all of…

  • Dare to Risk Greatness

    Today I read this e-mail from Neale Donald Walsch, and I just had to share it with you: On this day of your life, Donna, I believe God wants you to know… …that perfection is not required of you — only perfect_effort. Not to even try because you don’t think you can would be terribly…

  • Finish the Year with a HOORAH!

    After a week back at work, I am still not really back into the swing of things! I’m still a bit slow, laid-back and relaxed about ‘getting stuff done’! It’ll still be there tomorrow. To be honest, the changing weather patterns and daylight also encourage me to chill out a bit too – I’m convinced…
