  • Wading Uphill Through Treacle…

    …with steel boots on. Ever feel like that? I posted on my Facebook page earlier that when you feel that way it is time to stop, refresh, take off the steel boots and find a way up the hill without the treacle! Try this: how can this be more easy? How can this be more…

  • Play The Hand You’re Dealt

    This last week in the UK, we’ve been getting all politically excited with the election, the hung parliament, and the deals being done. Of course, I too have a political opinion. But mostly, I’m just going to play the hand I’m dealt. Whoever ‘got in’ as Prime Minister. Whoever has control of the government, I’ll…

  • I Get Knocked Down…

    …But I get up again. Nothing like a bit of chumbawumba on a wednesday! Lol. Much as I detest the song, I like the sentiment. I get knocked down, but I get up again. A Japanese proverb says it best “Fall down 100 times, get up 101”. This last week I have been being knocked…

  • Dance, Dance Wherever You May Be

    Yesterday I received this post from 1000 Awesome Things about Dancing when you’re home alone. It really made me laugh because I do this DAILY. Without the wooden spoon or special attire, I am ashamed to admit. When was the last time you did this? And what song did you do it to? This week,…

  • If You Could Do It All Again

    You may have seen this poem, it does the rounds on e-mail occasionally. This week, a friend sent it to me and I read it again and once again realised how wonderful a philosophy it is: IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax, I…

  • Feeling Alive

    “Children FEEL life. They smell it, roll in it, run with it, see it all around them. Feel the world through the eyes of a child.” – Anonymous. I remember thinking that there was nothing better in life than a Mr Whippy ice cream and a go on the trampoline. Actually, to be honest, not…

    Jazz Up Your To-Do List With Some Rewards

    This week, my coach Sandy Grason gave me the homework to celebrate the baby steps – celebrate how much I’m getting done, celebrate how faabulous I am. Now, I’ll be honest with you – I am rubbish at this. I usually reward a job well done with more work to do. As you can imagine,…

  • A Mission Statement to Love

    In Amanda Alexander‘s “Inspire” newsletter today, she shared the principles underpinning the mission statement of her son’s school, and I just LOVE this! “If something works we do more of it. If it doesn’t, we do something different We create opportunities for “magic moments” We celebrate today and are excited by our future We work…

  • Following Your Intuition Is Always Right, Especially When It Makes No Sense

    <big>I had followed my intution a few times in my life, but the time it became really obvious that my intuitive guidance was “right” was when I made the decision to go to Australia about 10 years ago. Up until the day I decided to go, I’d NEVER wanted to do any such mad thing…

  • And God Made Dog

    A bit of Friday Fun for you: And God created dog – The Story of Adam & Eve’s Pets Adam and Eve said, ‘Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember…
