A different perspective on Celebrating…

…when you’re dealing with disappointment when everyone else is celebrating. Sometimes the year finishes all too soon, with goals incomplete, and disappointments scattered around you like the gift-wrapping after Christmas lunch. If you’re familiar with my writing or speaking, you know I’m passionate about celebrating.  Reflecting on accomplishments and celebrating learning is incredibly valuable. It’s…

It's time to celebrate!

You might think that I’m getting in early for Christmas, or my birthday – which is now less than two weeks away, but no!  Anytime is actually great for celebrating, and it’s something I do with coaching clients on a regular basis. The kind of celebrating is one you can do alone or with friends,…

Mothers Day

Mothers Day is a special one – there’s no way you’d be here except that you had a mum! I hope you had a fantastic weekend – I spent Saturday at a beautiful location on the outskirts of Orange at Mary Brell’s Women, Wine and Wisdom. I wrapped up the day with “Wisdom in Everyday…

I'm Thankful…

First of all – I’m thankful for each person reading this – I hope you find it well worth the time and see more things in your world you are thankful for.  What a great focus to end the year with!  (The impact – besides feeling great – is that you’re in a fantastic space…
