Weekend bliss? – #MindfulChallenge
The trouble with writing about your meditation experience, is that your mind has a tendency to start thinking about what you are going to write, about how hard it is to stop thinking…which, of course, means I’m thinking..it’s quite a mind numbing circle. It’s the weekend and I’m curled up in bed. The kids are…

Day 1 – #MindfulChallenge
OK step one of the mindful challenge. Start a daily meditation practice. I’m going to do a Headspace mediation every day. I’ve had the app for about two years and throughout that time I have racked up an impressive (??) 30 meditations #winning, so I’m thinking that I may need to be a little more…

Not sure where you are heading? That’s OK…me neither
Is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like there is a lot of pressure to know what you want and where you are going in life? Sometimes this idea really eats away at me. As much as I love planning, I don’t have a 5year plan. I don’t exactly know what my passion…

Got something you need to talk about?
Talking about it helps…. I know, not exactly a new concept…we all know this is the case. And anyone who knows me would most likely tell you that I have ZERO trouble with this concept, I talk hard and fast. I am, generally speaking, a sharer. When I am down, the first thing I…

Three words for 2017…
It’s nearly back at work time for me. I’m both disappointed that the holidays are coming to an end, and somewhat excited to see what the new year might hold. This morning, I saw this post from Suze Muse and it got me thinking about what my three words for 2017 (yes…I am totally…

Getting back on the horse…the writing horse…
It’s been a while since I have written in this blog. I was so proud of myself for upholding my weekly manifesto, for over two years with only a few delays. Yet…here I am… with months going passed and only a few words published. I like to blame work. Of course it is their fault. …

In over my head…
It’s Saturday night (at least I think it is), and I find myself sitting in a corner at Los Angeles airport with tears streaming down my cheeks. My jeans are ripped and my clothes smell…and I’m hungry…in short, I’m feeling incredibly sorry for myself. How did I get here? Well, it all started a few…

Stealth expectations…
Love love love the idea of “stealth expectations”…. yes oh yes… THIS is my problem. OK…so I was reading Rising Strong by Brene Brown last night, and got to this section where she was saying that when our expectations don’t match our reality it can be really frustrating. But it can be especially disappointing, if…

Dinner time hell…
I have always been very diligent and disciplined about having a dinner time routine in our house. We rarely eat in front of the TV, and always try to sit down as a family around the dinner table of an evening. Lovely. Right? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why o why is dinner time such a NIGHTMARE at our…

Yep…I totally need a wife…
I think it is fair to say, I thought I had been nailing it recently…until…well… I wasn’t. All of a sudden, a torrent of pent up exhaustion and resentment came pouring out of me like a cannonball which was directed at my husband (Shout out to my husband…love ya!…). What was his crime, you ask? …
