One of the benefits of a pandemic is that we’ve stopped to reflect on what is important. And you’d be hard pressed today not to hear the word wellbeing being thrown around in your workplace or networks. We’ve decided that wellbeing is important and that’s not a bad decision. However before we start implementing solutions[…]
Sailing into a New Year
For me this time of year is a period of reflection. A time when I sit and think about the year past and then usually write something warm and fuzzy about the coming year. It is also the time when I am preparing for my first round of workshops in late January. Workshops that are[…]
Peace, more than an absence of war
It’s the second week of Advent, this week it’s the candle of Peace. How you interpret the word peace depends on who you are, and most likely where or who you live with. If you are in a country experiencing war, it could mean a cease to hostilities. Then again if you are a mum[…]
Hope is a seed buried deep in our hearts
Hope is a seed that is buried deep in our hearts. We all have it, waiting to germinate and grow. And when it does, it has tendrils of possibility that push through our fear and disappointment. It weaves its way through our lives, motivating us, and helping us to dream big. Hope is the fuel[…]
Advent, it’s so much more than a calendar!
It’s Advent!! No, I am not talking about the little calendar that sits on your shelf! Instead, I am talking about Advent, the time that is part of the Christian liturgical calendar.

Find it hard to take self-care time – me too!!
For the last week I have been doing a deliberate seven days of self-care. Each day I’ve been taking time out to do something just for me, something that feeds my soul. The first four days were pretty easy, we were away so my time was more relaxed and less hectic. I had made myself[…]
Let’s be Part of Telling a New Story
For anyone looking from the outside in at NSW Australia, yesterday appeared to be a crazy day. For the first time since the fire warning system came in ten years ago, Sydney was under a Catastrophic Fire Warning. A State of Emergency was declared as bush fires burned and there were predicted high temperatures and[…]
Rediscovering Play
Last Friday I was invited to share my passion for Lego Serious Play with the ladies at my Mumthly Start Up Network meeting here in Campbelltown. Let me set the scene for you, eighteen women sitting around tables playing with piles of Lego. What was even more funny to me is that we were in[…]
Reframing Ageing – Changing the conversation
My initial reaction when I looked in the mirror this morning was, oh no I look so old!!!! You might think, so what’s the problem. In fact, this might even be your morning mantra. But what pulled me up this morning was the voice in my head. It was saying “at what point in life[…]
