Your flow is the thing (or things) you were meant to do. When you are flowing, time stops, you get the feeling that you could stay in the moment forever. You are completely and absolutely engaged and your energy and drive don’t dissipate. When you flow you literally get lost in what you do, and yet you find yourself. I … Read More
Change – it’s just a click away
So I’m writing this post using the on-screen access keyboard, and I may have had a couple of wines – I’m clearly a better typist than I’ve ever given myself credit form! 9( CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MANY MISTAKES I’VE MADE TYPING THIS, I’M NOTHING IF NOT DEDICATED) So, now for something to say as opposed to just type! I … Read More
Popular – Things I almost forgot
I tried so very hard to forget the above hairstyle! I almost forgot that I was someone before I was a Mum. I spent so long trying to be a Mum. When I was trying to be a Mum, I almost forgot that I was still someone. I made my identity out of being an infertile woman. That sucked! I … Read More
Search for serendipity and synchronicity
My all-time favourite word is Serendipity. I like the sound of it, all five syllables of it, as it rolls slowly and sweetly off my tongue. Se-ren-dip-it-y. To me its happy singsong melody resonates with the sound of soft raindrops falling in a sun shower, signalling a rainbow of possibilities. Se-ren-dip-it-y – it feels like something good is finally going … Read More
Join the yin (r)evolution
Don’t you know, we’re talking ‘bout a revolution, sounds like a whisper. So sings Tracey Chapman in her 1988 classic even if she despairs of so much empty talk that isn’t heard and even though the poor people still don’t have their share. It’s an evolution. (unlike the new Abbott Cabinet here in Australia, which in terms of female representation, … Read More
Don’t be a scaredy cat
So it’s Friday 13th, and I’m telling fear to fug off! Well I’m trying – I reckon just the act of standing up to fear, looking it in the face and telling it that while you are still afraid you won’t let it scare you, is the first step in banishing it for good. I’ve heard it said that daring … Read More
Of creativity and patience
I used to mosaic – as in cut up tiny pieces of tiles and lay them at random and in patterns to create beautiful (if I do say so myself) ‘works of art’ – pots, mirrors, picture frames, table tops.
Camp Good Enough
Imagine a place where you were always good enough – self-reliant, self-confident, self-disciplined – and where the whole point of being there is fun. Sound pretty good? Welcome to Camp Good Enough. It’s where my daughter is headed on Thursday for her first-ever school camp – my Year 4, 10-year-old is growing up! Only she won’t head to camp on … Read More
Five ways to find your flow (gracefully – like a swan)
Do you feel like you are always paddling against the current, upstream without a paddle, or caught going round and round in the eddy of crazy busyness? Is life stopping you from rowing your own race? Or have you maybe taken a hold of the wrong oar? Do you ever feel like jumping overboard? Alright, enough already with the maritime … Read More
Are you juggling life rather than making time?
Busy hey? So much for finding work-life balance or life-life balance. Too many balls up in the air – how many can you possibly catch? How many come falling down, bouncing around your feet, rolling away just out of your reach. You’ll retrieve that ball later, won’t you? If it’s really important. Time is a created thing. To say ‘I … Read More
