Remarkable young woman doing remarkable things

2023-03-01T09:06:56+10:00March 1st, 2023|lifestyle|

I was reading about a young Australian woman the other day who is the youngest person to complete the Polar Hat Trick. I didn’t even know what the “Polar Hat Trick” was so I did some more research, and found that this young woman is truly remarkable. Let me list the feats of Jade Hameister: In 2013, at age 12 Jade completed the trek [...]

Are you stuck in the cycle of busy-ness?

2023-02-22T08:18:13+10:00February 22nd, 2023|lifestyle|

It can be a bit like a trap that turns into a hamster wheel that just seems to have no exit and you just keep running! Do you know the feeling? So, how do you stop? Seems to me that there are three choices: 1. jump off the hamster wheel and hope for the best 2. keep running until a stretcher arrives to forcibly [...]

An important decision to make – every day

2023-02-15T08:56:43+10:00February 15th, 2023|lifestyle|

I was watching an interview on the weekend with an incredibly charismatic 76 year old woman from New York. She shared many gems and little nuggets of wisdom during the 45 minutes we had together, but one really stuck with me.   She said, “Every morning when you wake up, you have a decision to make. Are you going to be your own best [...]

This Christmas give the gift of kindness

2022-12-21T09:22:23+10:00December 21st, 2022|lifestyle|

For so many of us, Christmas is a beautiful time of year to spend with loved ones. If we have young kids, there’s the whole excitement of Santa Claus and all the joy and excitement he brings. If we have teenagers, it’s the challenge of getting them out of bed and smiling before noon (truly a Christmas miracle if both of these things occur [...]

Planning for 2023

2022-12-07T11:56:51+10:00December 7th, 2022|lifestyle|

Another year is coming to an end and they just seem to be flying by faster and faster! Do you feel the same? For me, I think it's a great reminder to make every day count. Whether it's a day at work, a day with family, friends or on my own, I want to get the most out of every day. But I don't [...]

Getting summer house ready

2022-10-31T17:07:46+10:00October 31st, 2022|lifestyle|

We’ve all heard of getting “summer body” ready, but what about getting “summer house” ready. I love this change of season because we can throw off the old, heavy layers and reveal all that beauty that has been hiding out for the winter. So I thought I’d share my things to do list with you. 1. Spend a day in the garden. Poison or [...]

Getting organised

2022-10-27T08:46:24+10:00October 27th, 2022|lifestyle|

Being organised is something that I either excel at or is a complete nightmare. On the good days I power through my list, like a master of productivity. Totally unstoppable, laser focused and determined to tick off every item. It's like I'm an athlete in the high performance zone! Other days (thankfully not often) I don't even get to look at my list because [...]

Aussies supporting Aussies

2022-10-19T09:06:31+10:00October 19th, 2022|lifestyle|

I was reading an email on the weekend from a woman named Grace Brennan who started an Instagram page called Buy From The Bush (#BFTB) in an effort to do something practical to help people living in the country and struggling to survive the drought. So much has happened in the three years since its inception but this little page survived and became a [...]

Celebrating International Daughter’s Day

2022-09-28T10:42:26+10:00September 28th, 2022|lifestyle|

On Monday we celebrated International Daughter’s Day. I don’t really know what these types of days are supposed to signify or how they should be celebrated other than posting photos of you with your daughter on your socials. But I don’t have a daughter. I do have 4 gorgeous sons who fill me with love, laughter and eye rolls daily, but no daughters. So [...]

Traditions – are they working for you?

2022-09-21T13:20:15+10:00September 21st, 2022|lifestyle|

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen and heard a lot about traditions. To some, they are beautiful, meaningful and respectful. To others, they’re outdated, no longer meaningful and trapped in a world that no longer exists. Which got me thinking about the traditions or “norms” in myself, my business, my family and community. What are our traditions? What have we lost over [...]
