My life is like a mosaic. You know those works of art where there is a big picture, made up of lots of little pictures? That’s me. Yesterday on social media I shared an image of something I’d done in my bullet journal and I thought to myself, ‘The stuff I share must seem so […]

It’s 11pm on New Year’s Eve and I wanted to take a few minutes to write about the year that was 2020. It was a year full of challenges, but I don’t hold any ill will towards it. I know how fortunate I am to have escaped the worst of those challenges and I’m grateful
☆ T O U G H T I M E S ☆I’ve really struggled over the past week. The passing of Kobe Bryant, along with bushfires, Brexit, and bastards in the world has hit me hard. And with the perpetrator of the crime against me being sentenced on Friday, I think this week will be

My poor, neglected blog. It’s been a long time between visits. I could defend myself and say that I’ve been busy, and this is certainly true. Between my day job, ghostwriting, freelance admin work, virtual assistance work, and my essential oil business… life is quite full. But I could easily have made time to update
I got this book yesterday and wanted to share the story behind it. I’d heard of the author, David Schwartz, from a workshop I attended where the presenter talked about a formula that Schwartz uses – it’s based around how we actually have waaaaaay more years than we think we have to accomplish big

Be honest. Ever made a New Year’s resolution? Ever actually KEPT one? I’m not sure of the exact stats but a massive percentage of New Year’s resolutions are broken by the end of January. At the recent conference I attended, acclaimed positive psychology lecturer Dr Tal Ben-Shahar spoke about how we often know

I recently spent four days at the 2016 ‘Happiness and its Causes’ conference and associated workshops. What an amazing trip it was for me! Between attending the scheduled presentations, visiting ‘The Wellness Show’ expo, reconnecting with people I met at last year’s conference, and forging new friendships, I was left feeling exhausted and inspired at
