I’ve had so many conversations with people who say things like… “I don’t know where my time goes. I’m always running around. My schedule is jammed. I can’t remember the last time I actually did anything ‘spontaneously’ or ‘just for me’.” “I literally don’t even know where this year has gone.” What breaks my heart […]
What to do when in transition
I’m in that awkward space. The in-between-time, when one chapter of life has ended and the next one hasn’t fully begun yet. I’ve left behind familiarity and entered into the unknown. Transitioning from what I once was into what I’m now becoming… And can I tell you it feels messy. I know it though, […]
What to do when life is not what you imagined
Its been six incredible months since we made our ‘big move’ north. Since then I’ve experienced the most amazing moments with my family. We’ve swam, walked and danced along the beach more times than I can count. We’ve woken to strange bird calls and hosted an incredible array of wildlife (curlews and roos in the backyard […]

Why that space between desire and manifestation is so richly rewarding
My house is going to auction tomorrow. I’m equal parts nervous and excited. I’ve been asked many times if I’m looking forward to when ‘its all over’. And the truth, it’s a bit of Yes and a bit of No. When I imagine that day when the move has been made and we’re settled into our new home I feel a […]
Why imagination is the perfect fuel for great dreams
My imagination has been running wild this week with the stirrings of something NEW. I don’t have words to describe it yet. It’s a feeling right now. An urge that’s directing me toward a path, with ideas scattered along it like breadcrumbs for me to collect. It’s spawning thoughts that have me waking early, scribbling in notebooks […]
