Unbelievably, here we are at the start of another year! It felt like the year moved at lightening pace and compared to 2016, it was a much happier and brighter year for many people. I always like the new year because it’s the perfect time for reflection and contemplation. How was the year that passed…

In 2010 my Mum, who I was very close to, was diagnosed with lung cancer. By the time the doctors had found the disease, it had already metastasised to her liver and bones so as you can imagine, the prognosis was bleak. I was living in Cairns at the time and immediately came home…

The Paradoxical Commandments
Being a lover of the arts, music, theatre, literature and poetry, I am always on the lookout for pieces that move me – that stir up my soul. In my experience, when artists express themselves through these different mediums (and when they do it well) they become powerful storytellers and inspiring leaders. In fact,…
Read MoreExpectation versus Appreciation

In 2009, Kerwin suffered a stroke and was lucky to survive. After the stroke, his short term memory was reduced to 15 seconds which meant…
Read MoreShake that booty!!
One of my most favourite things to do in the world is dance, or more specifically, to dance with my young nieces. There is something about dancing with children that gives me the space to really let loose, not care how I look, and get in touch with my inner rockstar! There was a long…
Read MoreWhat makes you happy?
I was recently asked a question by a person I had just met, “So Kate, what makes you happy?”. As I responded, I got to truly show who I was: my values, the things I love, how I spend my time and so much more. Answering a question like that is a glimpse into another…

What is it about dogs that makes them so absolutely wonderful?? Is it the unconditional love? All the ways that they think you are the best person in the world? Is it how they look at you, with a smile in their eyes and an open and eager heart? Is it because they are…
