So, the day after I made like a hippopotamus and wallowed has come and gone. Today it was about getting back on the metaphorical horse which saw me ultimately back at my desk and plowing through more work than I'd done in a while (coz you know, shitty headspace and all that). What has been most surprising …

Tonight I realised that there are only 11 more sleeps until I am heading off to my first writing conference! I have been wanting to go to this conference for the past three years. But pregnancies and newborns have put the kibosh on those plans ever eventuating. But not this year. This year I will …
Whether you play sport, are involved in boards or committees or connect with strangers online there is something pretty interesting about the organic way that a community somehow forms around you, providing the most unexpected of experiences and things that you actually didn't know that you needed until you needed them. In an attempt to realise some of …
C'mon admit it, when you read this title you immediately had Ace of Base's I saw the sign pop into your head? I'm right, right?? Well today the universe drew you to that title, prompted you to click and read on. Do you believe that? That the universe provides us with signs I mean? I'm …
Yesterday I had to meet a couple of deadlines for work so I didn't contribute anything to my world count for 50k30d. Not one damn word! So tonight I'm going to leave you with this: Yep, this is me prioritising my time and getting some extra words in tonight. Yay me! What things do you wish you …

I was having a random conversation with a colleague (with whom I share an office) today about how hard I find it to sit at a desk and think. Not just in the run of the mill process of thoughts (although lets admit it perhaps that is the case sometimes), but moreso the deep thinking required …

Whilst it's true that many (ok, probably most) extroverts are like this, did you know that being an extrovert or an introvert is less …
I'm stuck. I'm so busy with life at the moment that I feel like I am going no where fast. I feel relieved just getting that off my chest! I had huge plans for this year. Living more fearlessly. Achieving goals that I had planned. And yet hear we are, a quarter of the way …
So many thoughts swirling around the vacant space I call my brain these days. That is, of course, when I'm not putting out spot fires and pushing against deadlines at work! As tends to happen when I have a spark of brilliance or realisation like the one I had yesterday, the little mouse in her wheel …
