So grateful today for some very exciting mail… especially for the sender! Julie Woods, That Blind Woman, from New Zealand, launched her book recently, and popped a couple in the mail to me. How exciting! The book covers Julie’s first 10 years of blindness, and explores her learning along the way. Julie has featured in…
My brother David is in the spotlight today, as I’m so grateful for several things – that he came to visit today, and that he now has a permanent job! (he’s been recovering from a life-threatening accident since last October). He’s pictured here with Lyndon and Ethan learning a few things about the internet. I…
Andrew Mowat So thankful for our friend Andrew Mowat… Andrew and I connected through Results Coaching Systems about 3 years ago, which was exciting as his reputation had preceded him… his reputation for the great work he’s doing in bringing a coaching culture to the education world… I had no idea of his sense of…

Another full day with many moments to celebrate… where to start and how to keep it brief? Several months ago, before the book project had a timeline, I was booked for a team coaching event by a local government department. Today, the day of my first deadline with the publisher, was the date booked. (Just…
Grateful for so many things today! It’s amazing how many things came together in one day. I started with a Chamber of Commerce breakfast, which was very early on a frosty morning, and I can’t even get into the amazing things I learned and the inspiring conversations I had, there, as it was like a…
The joy of puppies and the excitement of little boys… I’m grateful for the time with Ethan at a friends place with their new puppies. I was picking him up from Amanda’s (see Day 32) after music, and we took a little time to meet their new arrivals… (who are now tinted yellow after a…
