I live near the top of a mountain ridge, and the drive to my house is up a 3km long steep and windy road. For the past year I’ve been wanting to walk down this road and then back up. Why? To challenge myself. To see how long it would take. Because I can. So […]
How to quit avoiding your goals and start moving forward on your dreams
For most of last year I had a special meeting in my planner every week… a one hour Accountability Call with my dear friend. Fuelled by our mutual desire to love and lead dream lives, we consistently carved out time to share our goals, challenges and disappointments with the intention of keeping each other on […]
How A Theme Word Can Design Your Best Year Ever

Is a problem shared really a problem halved?
“A problem shared is a problem halved,” a friends Mum once said to me. This was many years ago, I was barely out of my teens and struggling with the messiness of growing up.
