Happy New Financial Year! 🥳 🥂 This is usually only a date celebrated by those of us who work in finance, but I challenge you to join me in the fun. Let's go old school and grab a pen and notepad. Take a few minutes to write down your current financial situation. What's your mortgage or any loan balance? Credit card balance? Do you [...]
Do you change your decor depending on the season? I like to change things up as the weather starts to cool down or heat up. Winter brings out more soft furnishings - blankets, cushions and cosier stuff that feels warm and invites snuggling. In summer we go minimalist and bright to reflect the vibe of all things fun, active and outdoors. If you’ve got [...]
How old is too old? How young is too young? Well it all depends on the context doesn’t it. What is it that you’re too old or too young for? I think it also depends a lot on the mindset. If you think you’re too old, then maybe you are. If your parents (or our laws) tell you you’re too young, then maybe you [...]
It’s all just a decision, don’t you think? What do you want? What don’t you want? What will you do without to achieve it? What do you need to create to make it happen? Who do you need to enlist to help you get there? What do you need to let go of? The only thing I can truly control in life is my [...]
Have you ever wanted to take a big step into the unknown - or even a small step into somewhere that is out of your comfort zone? Did you manage to take the step or were you paralysed by fear? Or even just halted for a moment to think about the consequences? Or did you barge right in without thought of what could go [...]
Life is busy! Work, kids, family, dogs, friends, and everything else seems to take priority over taking care of ourselves and making sure we're living the life that fills our cup and makes us happy. But if we don't look after ourselves, who will? We can't be dependent on others to provide our happiness. That's on us. If our happiness makes others happy [...]
It's a new year so it's always a great time to make a new start. What will 2025 bring for you? What will you make happen? What will you create? What do you need help with? What will you let go of? What will you learn? Where will you explore? What challenges are you likely to encounter? How can you best prepare or avoid [...]
I love this time of year. I make sure I’m organised early so that I don’t get caught up in the busy-ness of everything and so I can relax and just enjoy. My kids are excited for school holidays and Christmas. If I get to catch up with other family members and friends before Christmas, that’s great - otherwise there is always January. Work [...]
I love this time of year - it has a taste of the crazy without being full blown frantic. I can lull myself into a (perhaps false) sense of security that I’m on top of things. I can write my lists, prepare my budgets, get things sorted at work to reduce the last minute rush, support my team to finish the year strong, fill [...]
Holidays seem to have a special magical power, don’t you think? Whether it’s booking them, going on them or getting home from them, they all hold their special powers of anticipation, excitement and contentment. They can be extravagant, cultural explorations to far off lands with the one/s you love most, simple trips away with a bunch of mates or a solo escape from your [...]
