It is time to move bravely forward
Happy New Year (OK..I realise the new year started some time ago, but I’m just getting back in the saddle here, so I think I’m allowed to say that). This year, feels like it has started off with a bang for me. I’m still working out how I feel about that. Is this a good…

I may have eaten one too many mince pies…
I haven’t written much about this topic , because frankly…it’s BORING and OLD and really no one else actually cares. But I feel like I can’t avoid it, because it is swimming around in my brain and it is impacting the things that I am doing…so I’m just going to say it. I feel fat…

Sometimes you just have to laugh…
You know those moments when everything seems to be going a little (ok a lot) pear shaped, and you find yourself doing this kinda crazy half laughing thing because you think if I don’t laugh right now I’m going to fall into a heap and never get up again? Yeah? I have those moments quite…

Sorry I missed you last week…
You may (or probably not) have noticed that I missed my blog last week. Since I started this blog I’ve tried to consistently blog once per week. Last week it all felt a little more crazy than usual. My husband was away traveling for work for the week, the home phone and internet stopped working…

Are you enough?

Slow down or lean in?…I’m so confused
As you know, I’m a little bit addicted to personal and career development stuff at the moment, I’m inhaling books, blogs and articles like oxygen. I’ve become incredibly curious and interested. I think it stems from trying to work out my own mind, which is always searching for answers (not that I am entirely sure…

Life is just a patchwork quilt of moments…
I’ve just come back from holidays and, yet again, I am reminded of the virtues of a little R&R on a regular basis. We really needed this break, and boy did it deliver. As I overheard my husband say to a friend…it was spectacular! And spectacular it was, we were fortunate to get ideal weather,…

Would curiosity really kill the cat?
When I think about it, I’ve spent a lot of my life driven by fear. I have a well practiced fear of failure, fear of making the wrong choices, fear of other people not liking me and my personal favourite fear of looking stupid. Despite my older sister calling me stupid on a fairly regular…

Making eating lunch special…
Earlier this week I had such a lovely lunchbreak at work… Hmm…doesn’t seem like something worthy of writing a blog post about does it. But it really struck me today, how important that little mini break in the middle of my day was. It reminded me, that back in the good old days…BC (before children)……
