There are three things I’d like to be remembered for (when the time comes and I’m not planning on that being soon) – my ability to make people feel at ease, my delicious rustic cooking and my BIG, CRAZY ideas (and my audacity to give them life). I’ve attended and facilitated more community and group […]
When was the last time you had a BIG, CRAZY idea (and told someone?) Read More
It’s unlikely you’ll get through this human experience without stumbling across treachery. Treachery: noun betrayal of trust If your world view is somewhat pollyannic (as mine once was) you’ll believe that all people have your best intentions in mind as they go about their business. They don’t. Age and experience has taught me that this

When I started my job in 2016 the office was 100kms away from my home. Each day I’d arrive home exhausted and when you’re a working parent going from a busy working day back into the home to commence that role it’s not good for anyone. The paradigm of work – having a job that

It’s time for change but how can we embrace a new normal? Right now in Australia bushfires roar throughout the country in what has been noted (by those trusted to note) as the worst bushfire season on record. And it’s only just begun. My region in NSW was one of the first to experience the
How to ensure your hand isn’t left dangling in the wind What does the humble handshake mean these days? Is it a punctuation mark to a well-executed business deal? A sign of mateship? Or just a simple courtesy? It could be any of the above but for people like my dad, by his own description

Knowing when it’s time to grow I love just about everything about being self-employed. I love being my own boss, setting the tone of the organisation, working with the people I choose and delivering what I want in the way I want to deliver it. I like setting my own hours, choosing my own holidays

Why habit measurement is more important than SMART Goals Do you have a goal that hangs about, refusing to budge no matter how many good intentions you throw towards it? You know those goals… The ones you imagine would be nice to achieve, life changing or even critical to your ongoing life. These are the

What are your plans for this holiday season? A bit of lying about? Or perhaps catching up on those things you can never quite get to during the year? Maybe you’re still working? Or perhaps you’re busy serving hoards of people who are doing the sitting around for you – otherwise known as children and

How healthy are you? And what does healthy mean to you? How do you measure it? Is it by your own yardstick? A comparison to the waistlines of the Joneses? A health professional? Or perhaps you do what one of my primary school teachers did and grab a pinch of your waistline and deem yourself

There isn’t a person I’ve spoken with in the past six months who hasn’t made some comment about being busy. Busy at work, at home, in the garden, in the community, running around after family and sometimes busy doing all of the above (and more). Busy does not discriminate by age, occupation nor postcode. It
