Last night we went to a wedding. It was lovely. Young couple, full of dreams and hopes. I noticed how the energy of love and romance affected couples throughout the room.

Day 1 – the results!
Well I am pleased to announce that I actually managed to achieve my 3 actions for today. I almost didn’t exercise. After dinner I was feeling rather lazy and sleepy and started coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why I wouldn’t have to, but I did it and thoroughly enjoyed my walk [...]

I am slowly devouring a “Gift from the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and I say slowly because I truly choose the moments when I pick it up and slowly read her words written more than 50 years ago. I choose to be alone, to be in a quiet place so that I can reflect [...]

Stepping outside the flags
The other night I was woken by by a sleepy 3 year old whose blanket had come off during the night. Once she was settled, I then found my mind swirling and whirling and not conducive to sleep. But in those early hours, I find my mind creates stories which help me understand where I [...]

Where am I and where have I been?
It’s been a while since I’ve written. That is because I have been working through what I want to offer with my business and how the work component of my life should look like and then getting paralysed in the uncertainty. In the meantime I have been consulting with a large company here in New [...]

Christchurch earthquake
This week has been surreal, full of anxiousness, worry, grief and helplessness. I am a Christchurch girl, it is my hometown, where I grew up, and where I left at the age of 23. Even though I have lived in Auckland for 12 years this year, Christchurch is where I am from and always will [...]
