I saw you the other day…. As we spoke I could almost see your mind swirling. You were distracted and I could tell there was a lot going on inside. You were apologising profusely, thinking you’d let me down somehow. “I’m so sorry I can’t stop. I’ve been just too busy to call. Too busy for anything really.” “I just […]
Are you a slave to your own success
I’ve been head down and tushie up all week. Working in a ‘I’m just loving this’ kind’a way. But I’ll be honest, this wasn’t always the case. In fact only a few short years ago I was whinging my head off, feeling stuck doing things that I hated. It didn’t make sense to me… I had what I thought I […]

Busy! What to do when you have more to do than time to do it.
We’ve all had one of those days. Washing is piled high and it’s pouring with rain outside. The kids have parties and you promised to bake cupcakes.
