Be who you are…
It is so much harder than you think to always be your authentic self. Until I started thinking about it fairly recently, I hadn’t noticed how many times I stop myself saying something…or say something different to what I am actually thinking because I feel like that is what I “should” be saying. It’s been…

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…

Are you enough?
I’ve been listening to a Brene Brown audio book (yes…I am a little obsessed with Brene Brown right now and yes…I am also a little bit obsessed with audio books and podcasts) and Brene talks about the concept of feeling like you are “not enough” (it is one of the things that “shame” makes us…

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…

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…

Chocolate versus a Tomato…who wins?
Transporting you back to about this time last year…. It is cold and dark outside. But we are sitting on the couch snuggled up under a woolly blanket. The fireplace is gently crackling in the corner and i have a lovely warm cup of tea in my hand. Bliss. The only fly in my ointment, …

Time to revise the Vision Board…
I’ve still been feeling quite flat recently. Which is a little bit of a surprise because I thought my Top Ten list to Awesomeness…would help me feel like I had things nailed. After all, a good old plan of action usually gets my spirits pumping! But I still have this feeling in my stomach that…

I found a circuit breaker for my brain…
This month I’ve been on a slow down mission…and, I think I’m finally getting it. I haven’t managed to sit quietly meditating every day, but I have done it every couple of days. And I have been trying to move slower, to say “no” to too many commitments, to sit with a cup of tea…

I don’t think my brain has an off button…
Rightio…here is goes…task number one on my list to awesomeness (see here if you missed that one)… SLOW DOWN My life is always flying at such a frantic pace. There is always something happening or something that needs to get done. Productivity is my friend. My husband is the same, so we are a bad…
