  • Slowing Down To Speed Up

    Slowing Down To Speed Up

    My car is very unforgiving. If you’re in too high a gear for the speed or gradient, the power goes, completely. You can have your foot flat to the floor and it will be as if 90% of the power to the engine is just not available. It tells me, very clearly that I am…

  • Guest Post: All Your Goals Can Fit, Just Go For It

    I have a treat for you today – a guest post from the lovely Kendra Kantor, whose story showss that dreams can take you in all sorts of wonderful directions if you let them. A few years ago, I was a young girl who had lost her dream in life I had just dropped out…

  • Don’t Climb Mount Kilimanjaro to Get Chocolate

    Don’t Climb Mount Kilimanjaro to Get Chocolate

    Who do you want to be? Not a specific who, like ‘Beyonce’ (I mean, who wouldn’t want to be her – girl’s got it going on!), but a type of person ‘who’. Do you want to be light, joyful, happy, peaceful, calm, confident, sexy? Be that then. Start now, today to be the person you…

  • Do You Listen To The Wisdom In You?

    You have within you an incredible source of wisdom. Your intuition, your gut, your higher self – whatever you wish to call it. This wisdom is always there. It’s always ready to help you. It’s always speaking to you…but are you listening? That still, small voice within can be hard to hear when life is…

  • Tapping Into The Infinite Creative Well

    Tapping Into The Infinite Creative Well

    As recently as 3 years ago, I thought I wasn’t that creative. I’d been blogging for years, I’d written 2 ebooks and enough articles to fill 6 books, I’d had all sorts of creative ideas…but I wasn’t ‘creative’. Ok, I could write a bit, but other creative pursuits were off limits as “I’m no good…

  • Don’t Let Anyone Put You Down

    Don’t Let Anyone Put You Down

    Sometimes people around us inadvertently put us down…sometimes they do it deliberately, but whether it’s intended or not, don’t accept it. You don’t have to have a massive confrontation, you can just ignore it. (Although I do love a well placed “who do you think you’re talking to” or a clear “that’s not a nice…

  • If Your Bladder is Full, Go To The Toilet

    If Your Bladder is Full, Go To The Toilet

    There’s a conversation I have with clients fairly often about seeing the signs and using them as a reminder.  Like when your bladder is full, you go to the toilet.  When your fuel guage is low, you go to the garage.  There is no bargaining with the bladder and the fuel tank…you might keep them…

  • Are You Wasting Time and Energy Trying to Change Others?

    Are You Wasting Time and Energy Trying to Change Others?

    So, I guess, like me, that you KNOW that if only the world would do as you tell it to, it would be a perfect place, right?  Never mind the fact that the attitude is a wee bit dictatorish, and I know that you are a lovely person…if other people would just behave the way…

  • Embrace What You Love (Even if it’s Deeply Uncool)

    Embrace What You Love (Even if it’s Deeply Uncool)

    What do you love to do? More importantly, what do you love to do that you’re a little bit embarrassed about? Maybe the thing you only do when no one is watching…like watching archealogical programs or reading kids books or listening to classical music or knitting or dancing around to teen-pop boy band music. If…

  • Do You Focus On Problems Or Dreams?

    I am not a huge Black Eyed Peas or Will.I.Am fan, but I was curious when I saw that Joanna Lumley (of all people) was meeting him. The programme was fascinating – not just because of Joanna’s obvious infatuation with a guy who is bonkers, but also because of that bonkers guy. (by the way,…
