Going away for a few days always has a downside and usually it means a ridiculous amount of emails, messages and a tonne of work to get through when you get back to your desk. First day back and today has been one of those days where getting stuff done has been the name of …

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 …
Why you crying, Mumma?
Because I'm sad baby girl, I replied. But I birthday girl and I give you a hug, she said. And so she did. This was how the conversation with my three-year-old little birthday girl ended this morning as the tears streamed unbidden down my face. Hot, silent tears over vegemite toast. Tears that I couldn't hide, even though I tried. …
A question of loyalty
Have you ever gotten to this point in your life? What did you do next?
Am I brave enough?

juggling… or not
And that's all I'd like to say about that... How has your week been? Ever have days where you feel like this?
How do you think?
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 …
A measure of performance
I'm in procrastination mode this evening. Kids are in bed, kitchen is clean, mind numbing TV is making noise in the background. But what isn't happening tonight however is the preparation work that I should be doing for my upcoming performance review. I'm actually one of those people who quite enjoy this time of year. …
