DREAM IT. OWN IT. LIVE IT.

WANT MORE CONFIDENCE? DO THIS

Do you wonder how you can be so competent and confident in some ways and feel totally incompetent and doubtful in others? That's pretty logical if you're comparing folding washing to flying to the moon, but I mean in day-to-day life. 

 

I'll give you examples.

 

I was with a friend in an outdoor restaurant. She was a successful...

THE HIGHLIGHT REEL ISN'T REAL

Do you look at others and think, 'how have they got it all together?'

 

Maybe there was a time you had life worked out and everything was good. You had your mojo happening, relationships felt healthy. You felt healthy! You enjoyed where you were. Life was good.

 

Then somewhere along the line, you woke up with less passion and more...

THE EASY WAY TO FEEL BETTER

You may be given a cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it. 

 

American author Joyce Meyer uses this cactus metaphor when reminding us that being negative during challenging times makes the challenging times more negative. 

 

This should be logical, but as humans, we do this with other areas of life too. Totally...

WHY ARE YOU CRYING? A QUESTION FOR YOU, NOT THE KIDDOS

Miss 5 was snuggled by my side as we watched a montage of video messages. She looked up smiling and joyful as she had several times before, then her face softened. 'Are you crying?' she asked.

 

'Yes. Happy tears.'

 

And they were happy tears. Tears of gratitude and appreciation for the messages people in my life had taken time to...

MAKE THESE WOMEN YOUR PEOPLE

There's a lot to say about the value of friendships. Studies even suggest the quality of friendships can positively impact the longevity of a woman's life! And if we look at it from a theoretical viewpoint of human needs, belonging to a tribe IS lifesaving. This is why some children, teens and even adults, will do anything to fit in. They will...

MOTHERS DAY REMINDER

The weekend just passed was Mother's Day. Before we dig into a reminder that I think will move you to feeling more empowered, more connected and more at peace, I'd like to acknowledge YOU.

 

You may have lost your mum or have lost a child.

You may not have the relationship you want with your mum.... or your child.

You might long to be...

LET'S FEEL GOOD!

You want to feel good, right?

 

And you want the people in your life to feel good too. One, it's a nice thing and two, people are friendlier when they're feeling good, so it's a win:win!

 

As my colleague and I were knee deep in piles of children's books this week - sorting, clearing, re-organising - the topic of personalities came up....

WHAT'S ALIGNMENT ANYWAY?

      

 

Is 'alignment' the new buzz word and do you have to be meditating on top of a mountain to feel it, 'cause for mums, that's near impossible, right?

 

 

In its basic, important-for-mums meaning, alignment is feeling calm, certain, free, non-reactive, clear, purposeful, satisfied or settled....

3 REASONS YOU DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH YOUR CHILDREN

We've all done it. Some a little more than others

 

We've let our children do things we know they shouldn't!

 

  • Giving an instruction and not following through when they don't.
  • Making them a different dinner after telling them you wouldn't.
  • Letting them do the early morning climb-into-your-bed when you've spent the last week...

THE MARATHON OF MOTHERHOOD AND LIFE

This week I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen in a while. I was out walking on a gorgeous Saturday morning and she was waving her son off as he ventured across the lake in his boat. Immediately we began the cross-questioning of catching up on each other's lives. Mothering. Work. Health. Happiness. This conversation led to me sharing my...
