Inspiring. Connecting. Cheering You On.
Has a tree ever spoken to you? There’s one on the back road to Orange that spoke to me 
It said “Hang in there, persevere – even when the ground is washed out from under you!”
This tree speaks to me of tenacity, of continuing to grow and live your purpose even when circumstances around you change. Things don’t always turn out the way you expect or want, but keeping learning and growing.
Be who you are and do what you are called to do.
Cheering you on,
Kerrie
I’m thankful for technical glitches. I don’t enjoy them, especially when I don’t understand, however, due to formatting changing as Lyndon and I worked on completing the layout for the book (to go to the publishers layout team), we picked up a couple of errors that otherwise would have been missed! A silver lining, a benefit in the bother. So I see again, how useful challenges can be. It’s usually afterwards that the learning and other benefits comes, but it’s worth persevering through challenges and looking for the gold, as it’s there!
Due to this, my final page is not complete, (as I had coaching sessions today, not a usual Saturday activity, but a great one), but if I don’t have it sorted by late tonight or tomorrow I’ll be very surprised.
How lovely to be so very close to completion – of this part of the journey – but the wild ride and constant learning continues.
I’m grateful that I can now see the potential for gold to come from challenges, as my approach in my younger days was frustration and disappointment. Sometimes when the challenge is enormous I get excited when I think about the possible enormous benefits that could be on the other side! The toughest part of a challenge is just before the breakthrough, and it’s darkest, just before the dawn. Hang in there!
Cheering you on,

I’m grateful for a day of challenging questions to really have me thinking deeply and strategically about my life and business. The insights were amazing – and will be easier to articulate when it’s not 11.55pm! Bottom line – my thinking today was all about living on purpose, which I go on about from time to time… it’s great to spend time reflecting on where this is and isn’t a reality.
I’m also grateful that we completed the day with dinner out with all the inspiring people we’d been with all day, thanks to Joanna Martin. So while I don’t have a photo of the strategic and heartfelt thinking – here’s a pic from lunch, which was just as fun, but more rushed than our fabulous dinner.
Thanks Joey!
Cheering you on,
Love Kerrie
Another day of moving forward with the book and meeting fabulous people! Charyn and I spent the morning on our books and then went into the city (Adelaide) to meet a friend for a late lunch. The most special moment in our lunch together was when Michael spoke about his 2 and a half year old daughter and had tears in his eyes as he expressed his gratitude for her and how she has the most gentle, considerate and loving nature. That was a moment today I’m grateful for.
I’m also grateful for the opportunity to spend the evening with some wonderful coaching colleagues, at the ICF Dinner, which followed the last day of conference. So I have collected quite a few great photos today, and already posted some on facebook. Again, I am grateful for the people in my world, our conversations about our learning, and sense of possibilities.
Cheering you on,

As I write this I’m almost overwhelmed with a sense of wonder… I have been on a massive learning journey for the last 5 years or so (well, all of life is a learning journey) and I’m delighted to be launching this website www.createthelifeclub.com with my incredible husband.
There are so many people in my world who I’m incredibly grateful for, and the list starts with Lyndon, who I’ve been married to for 14 years, and my truly wonderful parents. It continues with my wonderful friends, clients and colleagues, and the new connections I make each week!
Almost everyday I’m having inspiring conversations with people who are pushing the boundaries in their lives and achieving more than they’d previously thought possible, and one of the things I’m so excited about with this website is the opportunity to continue building a community of like minded people. I can’t wait to introduce you to each other!!
We’ll soon be launching a forum so you can all chat and learn from each other, and running telecalls where I’ll be inviting people who are leaders in their fields, to share their tips and inspiring stories.
I love the way we can make a difference in each other’s lives, and make a significant difference in the world.
I am truly thankful to be where we are at now, and grateful that the journey continues.
To the journey!
Possibilities are endless! An exciting thought – certainly keeps me on my toes and this week has been full-on keeping up! It’s good to remember that with all the opportunities and the busyness it brings we can still create opportunities for essentials like taking time out! So I’ve been prioritising my time out and exercising this week, when it could have been pushed to the side (easily!) and I really enjoyed my swimming this morning. (Of course I still have some emails to catch up on!)
I’m off to Orange tomorrow with clients and friends to speak at Women, Wine & Wisdom – the third of the “Women, Wine & Wellbeing” series I’ve spoken at, with my dear friend Mary Brell – a very inspiring woman who created this series of events for regional women. More on that later – I’m still pulling it all together! Just thought I’d share some ponderings I wrote earlier in the week… hope it’s useful! Love Kerrie
Have you ever been really clear on the outcome you wanted – but been delivered a completely different and sometimes unappealing outcome – to find that it was actually better than you really wanted? I have often. This is why I’ve learned and continue to learn to be detached from the outcome. Let’s just go in open minded, core values guiding (such as generosity, authenticity, empowerment) and see what happens. I’ve been thrown some ugly looking outcomes that soon after I’d been so thankful for. If the door hadn’t been slammed in my face I wouldn’t have seen the gorgeous French doors to my left.
I find it useful to step back and look at the bigger picture. Is this outcome so, so important? Can you take this path with your core values intact, being true to yourself? What other possibilities are out there? I’ve discovered that possibilities are everywhere. Like the air we breathe but we don’t see evidence of it until we start looking.
Have a wonderful weekend, think big, and remember to make your mum feel oh-so-special!
