    Reviewing Change projects

    It feels good to update and review my change projects. I am inspired by the heartfelt comments and support I have had from the team who are sharing these and supporting me. It is great to know that others want me to succeed and become more of who I am at heart. I have spent some time today considering...

    Life Balance - getting it right

    Getting life balance right is really difficult for me. I find that I am constantly adjusting to the pressures I create with time commitments to family, work, community involvement and then working on getting some time for myself.

    Cultivating, what many call, an antidote to fear

In turn, for most of us, when stress and tension builds, our patience for ourselves and others tends to wane. We talk to ourselves in a way we would never speak to another friend.

    How to say thankyou in any language.

    I wonder why I omit to say thank you and the moment passes because I can't find the words to express that simple expression. Sometimes it is because I feel shy and insignificant at others I do not want to make a sound and interrupt those I would thank. Here is a short video clip aimed at thanking...

    A poem about making change - Portia Nelson

    Movement and laughter

    I was reminded last night, while at at a friends birthday party, how freeing and uplifting it is to dance and laugh. "Going out" occasions for me are often quite formal, where subdued chuckles are common but a full letting go belly laugh is seldom heard. So being at a relaxed party with friends...
