Can someone please put on the brakes and slow this year down! Please! I can not believe that it's Monday evening already. Too much to do and huge deadlines to meet this week and they are looming like an out of control freight train! But all I need to do it get through this week …

Hi ho… it’s off to work I go
Today is Saturday. The start of the two day cluster of days known as the weekend. Sadly, when you work in events, a weekend is something that sometimes is compromised due to the obligations and responsibilities of your employment. And today was one of those days. After ticking off swimming lessons in the morning, it was …
It’s been 20 years
Recently, an invite popped up on my facebook feed to join a 20 year high school reunion page by one of my old classmates. 20 years, already! I'm not sure how I feel about that. I loved my high school years and I reflect upon those days now mostly with positive memories. I wasn't one of the …
Not in the mood
Tonight I'm off to our biennial staff recognition evening which sees our organisation recognise the staff in various categories of the Business Principles Framework. It's my third one and ordinarily I'm excited to spend a bit of social time with my colleagues. This year however, I just can't seem to get into the spirit. This is …

I've been supporting this concept for a few years now and am always heartened to hear when this one little question …
New digs
With the great number of workplace changes that have been par for the course of late, one of the more positive ones has been the relocation to a new office. Our organisation is split across multiple locations and thankfully, I have been fortunate to stay in the same building in the five years I have been …
I feel good
You know what? I think this meditation thing is working. I've just come from a 20 minute session and just emerged from the shower and for the first time in a very very long time I'm feeling really good. And I had to have a chuckle because I immediately thought of this post that I wrote back …
The tides are turning
Do you recognise the feeling when the tides begin to turn? Or do you use the prospect of the turning tides to motivate you until it comes along?
Restoring the energy
Today I learnt how to meditate. I've mentioned that I've been doing this success without stress program and as it so happens, a part of this program is meditation. I have been avoiding this training for four years as the thought of meditation doesn't inspire me at all. Having tried once in the past, I …
