  • What To Do When Your Brain Is Fried

    What To Do When Your Brain Is Fried

    Last week I had a wonderful creative week, I was totally in the flow, I was feeling good, inspired, excited about my work, loving life, getting to the end of this phase of my book (the 2nd draft read-through and 1st edit)…and because I was so busy galloping towards the finish line, I forgot to…

  • 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…

  • How To Wake Up Loving Life

    How To Wake Up Loving Life

    Let me be clear – I am NOT a morning person – I am not naturally chipper and chirpy before I’ve been awake for an hour or so, but I do know that how you’re woken up makes a big difference to how you feel. One of my biggest rants in life is about the…

  • You’re Not A Hippo, So Stop Wallowing

    You’re Not A Hippo, So Stop Wallowing

    A Hippo may love to wallow in mud, but you my dear, are not a hippo…and you do not need to wallow in things that are getting you down, situations that are pissing you off, or relationship issues where someone is being an asshat. It’s ok to have a bit of a rant or process…

  • 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…

  • The Monster Under The Bed Is Normally Just A Sock

    The Monster Under The Bed Is Normally Just A Sock

    Fear can paralyse you, can stop you from doing anything new with your life, can stop you from trying things, can stop you from enjoying your life, because you’re too afraid to change or to try. Don’t let this happen to you. Most of what we’re afraid of never happens. And those things that do,…

  • 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…
