Many years ago, back when my kids were littlies, an outing to meet a few friends at the park could be the highlight of my week. After a morning of playdough and Duplo I’d be craving the company of some over 20ies and ‘park dates’ for me were more than a chance to get out of […]
How to make the right decision and overcome any doubt
I read the text “I need your advice ASAP? Can we chat PLEASE!” A frantic plea for help from my friend who was wrestling with a BIG decision. A career decision. After 12 years in the same job she’d been offered a new role and didn’t know what to do. I knew she wasn’t happy and […]
How to turn your desires, dreams and longings into action and reality
I’m a dreamer. I believe we’re all dreamers. That we’re all continually imagining something wonderful we’d like to do, have or experience in our future. Often our dreams arrive subtly.

Why that terrible nagging thought is actually a sign for action.
I want you to think for a moment about that ‘naggy little thing’. You know the one… it’s a tolerable dissatisfaction that never goes away. A constant thought you try to ignore, and like an itch you resist scratching, it lingers, distracting you, annoying you, as it begs for attention. You want to fix it one […]
