Do you pay attention to the messages the universe sends you? Today, I learned the importance of paying attention. Otherwise, I would have missed this gem on my morning walk. It resonates with me as I previously thought wasteful thoughts that didn’t serve me. I didn’t know they were wasteful, but I did a brilliant short course a while back run by Brahma Kumaris who taught me this and so much more. Now I try to choose my thoughts wisely…
Anyone else love Eat Pray Love? It’s one of my top 5 fave flicks. 🎬 Food, spirituality and love. Italy, India and Bali. Pretty much sounds like heaven to me. 🎆 There are so many learnings every time I watch it. One of them is this quote: “Ruin is the road to transformation” Ruin sounds pretty drastic. Well, sometimes life does feel like it’s in ruins and everything has gone to shit. 💩 You’ve lost your job or you wake…

Practice gratitude. Easier said than done, hey? How can you be grateful when life throws you curve balls, when relationships are rocky, when your kids have been up all night, when your husband has man-flu, when you lose your job, when you’re down to your last $50, when you don’t feel well, when life is just tough? Gratitude is actually the thing we must do in moments like these. It’s the one thing that reminds us that someone else is…
Giving feels good. What can you to do to help someone in need? My hubby turned the big 40 this week. Huge milestone for a great guy. ❤️ He has a rare B+ blood type, with only 10% of Australians with this kind of blood. He donates every few months and this is one of his very few selfie pics, in the name of a great cause. We encourage all those that can to donate to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.…
Be the change. This quote has appeared on my affirmations list for a long time. If you haven’t watched the film Ghandi, I highly recommend it. A few years back now, on a long-haul business trip flight back to Australia from the UK, I was traveling solo and had some time to kill, so I decided to do a movie marathon. I chose the movie Ghandi to start with. It was nothing short of awe-inspiring what he was willing to…
I spent 2 hours writing Oprah’s entire speech back in December 2015 when she toured Melbourne. I lapped up every minute. And for good reason, her messages spoke truth to my heart. I will share them with you over time. We’ve all had shit happen to us in life – with some days worse than others. My previous approach was the perfected wallowing technique where I would sit on the couch, complain to friends or lie on bed and say…
Do you vision board? I have created a vision board as long as I can remember. It’s my vision for the year ahead and some big picture goals. I cover family, health, community, career, wealth, spirituality, travel and social areas. I’ve done both a hard-copy board which I see all the time, and in more recent times, I’ve also done a digital version which is a montage of images or even images in a folder which I click through during…
Yoga … it’s my exercise thing. Even though I was into athletics and running in high school, I’m not really into high-impact exercise anymore. I like the slow, smooth and steady approach to getting fit and leaving all my problems on the mat. I remember a time I had to get massaged every month without fail to deal with stiff shoulders and neck due to working in front of a computer for hours and days on end. Don’t get me…
This is where it all began. December 2nd 2015, Melbourne Australia. Oprah was in Melbourne for a flying visit for two nights only – the first was sold out. My bestie called the day before the final show, to say the last tickets were going on sale right now and did I want to go. Did I want to see Oprah? Of course I did. So on a whim and toiling with mother’s guilt of leaving my 4 month old…
