  • Space to Hear Yourself

    At the end of my yoga class last night, I found myself having some great ideas for what to do in my life. And I often find that the best ideas for blog posts, videos and articles come when I am not sat at my desk in front of my keyboard! Why is this? Well,…

  • You Set the Tone

    What was the tone you set for your day today? It’s a Monday, so I’m going to take an educated guess that you didn’t start the day with a woohoo! So how did you begin the day? ‘oh god, it’s Monday’; ‘another day…same old shite…’; ‘today is going to be a great day’? Most of…

  • Farting Around

    “I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.” Kurt Vonnegut I found this quote yesterday on a card, and I’m adopting it as my favourite piece of wisdom of 2009! It always amuses me that people who enjoy their lives (or fart around) are seen…

    The Game of Life. How are you playing? Are you fighting over ever throw of the dice, taking it all personally, giving up after a few throws, deciding that you will never win so why play, getting pissed off with other players for getting the wins that you wanted, sulking, taking it very seriously or…

    An Aussie truckie walks into an outback cafe’ with a full-grown emu behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The truckie says, ‘A hamburger, chips and a coke,’ and turns to the emu, ‘What’s yours?’ ‘I’ll have the same,’ says the emu. A short time later the waitress returns with the order ‘That…

  • A Visit to Childhood

    So last week I was asking what would happen if you put your magical child energy in charge of your life. What did happen? Did you put magical child in charge or did you read it, smile gently and get back to being a sensible grown up? To be honest with you, I asked the…
