Gosh I’m inspired. I’ve had several very profound conversations today that have really put a bounce in my step and I feel like I’m breathing with bigger lungs, if that makes sense. This is really great, because I’ve had a virus that’s really knocked my energy out of me for far too long, and it’s…
I’ve realised (a while ago) that making my blog about customer service isn’t working for me. My heart wasn’t in it as much as 100 Days of Gratitude.

New habits for a New Year? It doesn’t have to be a new year, but it can be a good time to adjust your course, get rid of a few habits or clutter, and add what you need or want. I’ve been spending the first 2 weeks of 2010 at my childhood home, my parents…

I know of businesses that are really flourishing” – so I want to highlight one of them here. I’ve recently connected…
iphone mania captured me too, I must confess. I was down at the Network Communications store before 9am to pick up the first of only three allocated to the store… it amazes me that there was such a shortage – maybe someone didn’t realise that there were people like me who suddenly appreciate the best…
International Happiness Day is today, World Gratitude Day is coming soon… we celebrate Mothers Day, Father’s Day, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, the list goes on… it’s great that we have these reminders to focus on various themes and appreciate certain people, but we can choose our focus everyday. What does International Happiness Day mean for you?…
Wayne Pearce, footy legend, motivational speaker and coach was speaking at an event Lyndon and I attended last night – and it was a delight to hear him speak. I’m always so happy to hear from professional sports people as they exemplify focus, commitment and countless other inspiring and admirable qualities. He discussed the brains…
