Is there anything more horrific than a farewell? Yet this is a moment of such parental pride and excitement. My daughter planned a Gap Year, worked hard to earn money to travel to Europe and has done it! She has donned the back pack and headed off for a glorious European holiday. Here we are …

A Diary
With just a four day weekend in Bali, I couldn’t possibly justify more than a cabin bag. I’d already negotiated with darling husband to bring the laptop so I could keep working on the novel. And I’d slipped in my writing journal and writing reference file I need to have beside me. The writing journal …
Three days in Wagga…
Wagga – it’s not a name to conjure with and I held little positive anticipation of its pleasures. A 72 hour stay was scheduled in Wagga in New South Wales, Australia so that my husband and I could see his son graduate from basic army training. Attending the passing out parade if you will, where …
Fifty’s so much better!
On the morning of my 40th birthday, 27th May 2005 to be precise, my mother called me, and when I answered the phone greeted me with this chirpy salutation; Happy birthday darling! Fifty’s so much better! I have thought about that a lot, and am thinking much more so as 27th May 2015 rolls around, …
The Magic of Seven
Indulge me if you will. It’s my birthday on Tuesday, and I turn 49. Normally I have a birthday month, so for two weeks before, and two weeks after, I manage to stretch my birthday celebrations out in a variety of calorie-laden and sociable ways. Somehow this year, it hasn’t happened. I might be lucky …
Levels of abundance…
The Abundant Businesswoman’s Summit would not be complete for me without the inclusion of Perth’s very own Abundance Expert, Susan Broughton. And I wasn’t disappointed. Her answer on what is abundance was thorough and thought provoking. You can still sign up to listen if you want – just click on this link. The interview series …
What could go right with tweeting?
I first “met” Nicky when I purchased her excellent book, How to Twitter for Business Success. I read it, and I was instantly inspired and empowered by her big picture summary of the different social media platforms and how best to work with them. All of a sudden it seemed completely doable. I implemented, and …
Jumpstart Your Abundance
I was busy googling jump starting businesses, and fell over Katrina Sawa on the net. I liked Katrina’s style – she keeps it real, not promising the world but promising results for those that are willing to put in the time. So, I invited her to join The Abundant Businesswoman’s Summit. And she can certainly …
The truth is….
It’s a phrase I hear a lot; “The truth is…” It starts a seemingly never-ending number of sentences. It seems to be a particularly popular phrase in the endless hours of business training I listen to. (Ahem, it is progress not perfection – my training addiction still seems quite well and healthy!) It is such …
Happy New Year’s Resolutions!
I am definitely a New Year’s Resolution Enthusiast. Or perhaps more of a 365 24/7 goals person – but there is something so special about the beginning of a new year. I have cleaned out my wardrobe and chest of drawers, depositing three full bin bags into the charity bins. I have purchased new sheet …
