Life is full of so much busy-ness. Responsibilities, going to work, running a family, studying, training for some kind of event, and so on. When do we find time to replenish our own tanks, or our own buckets? We are good at remembering, albeit it for many at the last moment to fill our cars… Continue reading Are you running on empty?
Friendship – What I’ve Learned Lately
I recently had this a-ha moment in relation to friendship. How often do we look at a friend and think "they've got too much going on, so I better not share what is going on with me as it will be too much"... We don't want to burden someone else..

The Impenetrable Fortress (or not)
I’ve been on quite a journey the last few months and it has been incredibly revealing as to what I really think, believe and feel about myself in many situations. I’ve received some very powerful coaching that has enabled me along with one of the best support networks to work through a heap of stuff,… Continue reading The Impenetrable Fortress (or not)
