I've found that three is my magic number when it comes to planning. I set myself three big goals to accomplish within three years with check-ins every three months. And it works - for me. It's not too long, or too short, too many or too few. Are you an active goal-setter? Do you have a number or formula that works for you? I [...]
I’m a real list girl and there’s no better time for lists than Christmas. I’ve just written my list to prepare our home for the onslaught of Christmas and school holidays with 4 boys in the house, so thought I’d share it with you. Clean out the fridge, because that thing is going to be pumping over the next 6 weeks. Get rid of [...]
We're fast approaching that time of year again. The time for parties, celebrations, catching up with family and friends, or missing family and friends if you can't be with them. It's a time of year to be kind to each other. We're all busy, stressed and this year many of us will be feeling the financial pinch. Maybe this might be a good year [...]
We're heading fast towards the crazy end of the year so it's important that you do all the things you want to do and none of the things that you don't. People get busy, offices close for the Christmas/New Year period, restaurants book out. Don't miss out simply because you didn't pre-plan and think ahead. If you want to buy a house, get your [...]
Do you ever feel like you're an all or nothing kinda person? I'm a pretty driven, focused woman and every now and then I get my teeth into something and I love it. I don't just love it. I LOVE IT! I can see where it's leading me, I can see what it will bring. I'm energised and excited by it - whatever "it" [...]
It seems that everyone else is, so why not us! How incredibly awesome are they as individuals, women, athletes, a team, ambassadors for Australia, soccer and women's sport! I'm amazed and delighted at the excitement, engagement, passion, pride and even obsession this World Cup competition and this team are igniting across the country and the world. From little kids to hardcore macho males, to [...]
Last weekend I took my team to Hamilton Island for two nights of R&R, team building, bonding and fun. Every day, Monday to Friday, 9am-ish to 5pm-ish, we’re together, working. Achieving our goals, aiming to surpass our customer’s expectations, beating deadlines, figuring out solutions, learning, growing and trying to do better. It’s been an incredibly tough environment for the past few years but despite [...]
Last week I celebrated a significant milestone birthday. And I celebrated well! During the cutting of the cake I had many calls for “make a wish”, and it had me stumped for a moment because I truly couldn’t think of anything to wish for. I realised that I had everything in life that I could wish for. I have a beautiful partner and [...]
I’ve just finished reading Anh Do’s biography, The Happiest Refugee, and it has left me with an immense feeling of happiness and gratitude. What an amazing man, family and life! From a toddler who nearly lost his life at the hands of pirates whilst at sea escaping a communist regime, to a household name and one of Australia’s most loved celebrities, the man and [...]
Last week I wrote about my experience of writing a list about things I wanted to do for myself rather than my usual lists for work and caring for everyone else. My list included things like getting organised, being mindful, moving more, catching up with friends, etc, etc. I thought back about my list over the next few days and thought back to my [...]
