Today I enter day 366 (my second year) living here on the Gold Coast. Even writing that sends a wave of conflicting emotions through me. Anticipation, Fear, Hope, Doubt, Excitement, Confusion. What lies ahead? Once again more questions arise than answers. Seems to be the underlying theme for my first year here…. more questions than […]
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, […]
How to love what you’ve got while still wanting more.
I’ve just returned from a whirlwind week working in Melbourne. A week of growth, success and achievement, all driven by my own actions. I’ve felt valuable, focussed and determined….

Why the discomfort of growth is no reason to quit.
I am the first to say if it doesn’t feel good then don’t do it, but don’t mistake the discomfort of growth as a reason to quit. I’ve just spent 2 days at a marketing workshop feeling completely overwhelmed and out of my depth. I arrived on day one all chipper, dandy and ready to learn. […]
The four words that changed my life.
There was a time when hobbies, interests and time-for-me didn’t exist in my life. Each day I awoke preparing to survive the next onslaught of demands. Tired, exhausted and struggling I wanted something to change. At the beginning I wasn’t even sure what I wanted, there was no long-term commitment or major life plan. I just knew […]
The greatest question of all….. what do you want?
My son recently played a basketball game at my old high school. Before the game I found myself wandering the familiar school grounds and pausing to peer into classroom windows. As I gazed nostalgically across the oval, I recalled my final year there. That nervous and exciting year with adulthood looming around the corner. Your teenage brain desperately trying […]
