I receive personal emails from the Universe a couple of times a week. I know, cool huh! They are usually somewhere between two lines to a paragraph and they share some universal wisdom about life, love, health or wealth. They always seem to be spot on for what I need to hear at that moment…

France, you Foxy Lady, I have fallen in love with you (again)
I have just returned from an amazing couple of weeks in the south west of France. We stayed in The Perigord Noir, a region within the Dordogne. It is an incredibly beautiful part of the country and still considered to be rural France even though tourism is alive and well. It is green, full of…
Read MoreWhat’s the go with the Holiday Blues?
I have been home from the most wonderful holiday EVER for just over four days and it’s pretty bleak at my house at the moment. To be honest, it’s been a real emotional rollercoaster and I have been wrestling with embracing my life again. I have often thought that the amount of Post-Holiday Depression…
Read MoreThe Power of Philanthropy
How much of your time, energy or resources do you give to others purely to help the world around you be a better place? Last night I watched an excellent TED talk with Bill and Melinda Gates. It was about their Foundation – The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – and what it is currently…
Read MoreThe world has gone mad!
I have been noticing more and more that political correctness is becoming a problem in our world. It has gone so far that it has actually gotten a bit stupid – well totally bloody stupid to be honest! I understand the intention of political correctness and I believe (like many things that end up skewed)…
Read MoreYou can’t be serious!!!
On the second last day of August I was at the shops buying a present for my dad for Father’s Day. In Australia we celebrate Father’s Day on the first Sunday in September so I had left it a little bit late, but I knew exactly what I wanted to get him so I was…
Read MoreUncertainty, how much can you handle?
A great teacher of mine once told me that the quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with. This means that if you can handle a lot of uncertainty, you tend to have a higher quality life. A higher quality life is a life where…
Read MoreIf plan A doesn’t work there are still twenty five letters left in the alphabet
I was with my nieces on the weekend and we were talking about “The Plan”. We are off on holidays soon and were brainstorming ideas about what to do and how to get around. I was questioning one of the plans because of time and location and my niece said to me: “If Plan A doesn’t…
Read MorePerseverance, where are you my Friend?
Why do some people give up while others just keep on pushing through? Is perseverance a learnt behaviour or is there an innate predisposition to it? I recently returned to yoga after a couple of years off. Yoga for me has always been more about the mental exercise rather than the physical exercise. I do…
Read MoreThe Ho’opono’pono
I first heard about the Ho’opono’pono in 2013 at a Tony Robbins event. It is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness and is simply very beautiful. We did the practice together as a room of 1300 people and the energy and love that was generated moved me very deeply. The Ho’opono’pono is a simple four line…
