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,…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 100!!!

I’m grateful for the journey of this past 100 Days, and grateful for those who have shared the journey.  I’m grateful to Glenda for our conversation in Orange which kicked off this discipline, which has been good for me, and has impacted others.  I’m grateful that I can develop in my skills (adding photos and…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 92

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…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 90

I’m grateful for wonderful books.  I came across this one, Everyday Greatness, (Stephen R Covey, David K Hatch) at the library last week when Ethan was stocking up.  It has heaps of great quotes, and some short stories that are incredibly inspiring. I learned more about Abraham Lincoln’s early days, in the chapter titled Humility.…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 84

On Day 84 I’m celebrating my Grandad turning 94… I have had a most interesting day, and visited my grandparents tonight, who have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary earlier this week, and Grandad’s birthday yesterday. (They were featured in Day 3) The most fascinating part of the day was the whole day tour of Fletchers…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 83

Today I am grateful for fresh perspectives.  I have really appreciated being able to bounce some ideas with some people, and tonight Lyndon’s parents came over and I shared with them a couple of ideas, without giving away my opinion.  This gave me the opportunity to see what they thought, and their answers surprised me. …

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 82

I’m grateful for the school my son attends.  I’m so thankful for the staff and school community who make the school what it is.  I just attended the School Association meeting and was delighted to hear all the progress since the last one I attended (Term One I believe). The school has been granted the…

100 Days of Gratitude – Day 74

Kids movies are certainly more than meets the eye (often)… I’m grateful today for a few thoughts from Finding Nemo, which Ethan watched this afternoon as I worked on my new (almost complete) book.  I absolutely love Dory’s philosophy when it comes to uncertainty or challenge – “just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”  (and it’s…
