It’s Saturday, the sun is shining and at the moment the breeze outside the caravan is cool but tolerable so it’s lovely to be able to sit outside under the shade of the awning and enjoy the morning sunshine.  It seems as though it’s been such a long time since I was able to do that.  What else can I expect?  It’s winter, and I’m in Melbourne!  It may not be as cold here

We’re housesitting on a 1200 acre property in the south-east of South Australia.  Surrounded by majestic red gums and a colourful garden, the house is a beautiful old sandstone homestead with 14 foot ceilings and creaking floorboards that I’m sure must hold untold secrets of a bygone era. Bertie the cat is curled up beside me on the old leather couch, both us basking in the warmth of

How totally delicious!  I've spent a few hours today singing along with Pooh! Pouring over Winnie the Pooh books, and taking a delightful trip down memory lane. So much of our childhood was spent in the company of Christopher Robin!  All three of us would sit entranced on the couch in the lounge room (my elder sister Cynthia and brother Andrew), and we'd listen through the crackles

I had cause today to do a little 'reflecting' on my 'journey of Transformation and Personal Development particularly over the last 12 months as I continue my travels throughout Australia.  How blessed I am feeling right now, as a Licensed "Heal Your Life" Workshop Leader to be able to travel this great land, seeing amazing sights AND presenting workshops along the way.  Making A

"LIFE ON THIS PLANET is an adventure—from the moment we’re born until the time we take our last breath. Life is a madcap caper—scary, exhilarating, boring, peaceful, loving—it’s an escapade. Life is a quest. Life is a thrill. Life is romance. Life is a lark. Life is! We all experience every emotion possible, and oftentimes, we don’t like being in the game of Life. We can be afraid and try to

We've been "on the road" now for about 6 weeks, enjoying every moment, although it seems this new way of travelling has been our 'way of life' for much longer. At present we are 'house sitting' on a 300 acre property about 100k north of Tamworth, a whole new experience and we're loving it! (even though we love "life in the caravan"). We're here for 6 weeks and our role is to look after the

How exciting! After 2 years of dreaming and planning, we are now finally "on the road" and on the road permanently for what we believe will probably be 3-5 years! What an adventure! Having sold up almost everything, including the house (and what's left has gone into storage for the next few years), we said "Farewell" to Townsville on Monday 15th August, a place that has been home to me for

Our greatest opportunities find us, we don't find them. No matter how distant your dreams may seem to be, if you allow yourself to take the necessary steps towards them, one step at a time, you will eventually and inevitably find yourself right in the middle of your fondest dreams. Don't wait. Start now.

Quiet Time! It's such an important part of a person's day, I believe. When I think about how much I treasure my 'quiet time' each morning when I first get up out of bed. It's a chance to just sit and appreciate life, nature, love.This morning on my back verandah as the doves coo, the geckoes bark, the parrots all sing, and distant rooster crows, water droplets drip from the verandah roof onto

Regardless of your goal, be it harmonious relationships with your partner and your family, or financially orientated targets, do not underestimate the power of self-love.

A simple thought, and one I felt worthy of a post:We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90%
