Having recently packed all of our belongings into a storage unit and venturing overseas, with nothing but a suitcase full of clothes, a mobile phone and a laptop, I soon began to realize how free I felt. I noticed how I didn’t long for any of the material objects that lay stored away, in fact the [...]
What remains when we remove ourselves momentarily from the bombardment of everyday life? What exists beyond, or perhaps behind, the things we need to do, the places we have to go, the people we need to look after and the questions we need to answer? We don’t often get time to really be quiet [...]
What if creating a life you love was like baking a cake? There are certain ingredients and steps critical to getting a cake you love. It needs the right consistency, flavour and texture if you are going to savour that cake. If you don’t sieve the flour it will be lumpy. If you add [...]
It’s all about fingers today! More specifically, look at your fingers and see if any particular fingers look to be more well defined due to overuse? The overuse I am talking about is finger pointing. Not the “Hey hey hey, wink, grin, cowboy from the hip ‘gun salute’, slick move” type of finger pointing, [...]
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it’s 7.20am. The oncoming pedestrian traffic includes a man, a lady and between them a cherished ball of fluff attached to the end of a leash. As they pass I hear the man say to the lady “Oh yeah, it’s like the tail wagging the dog.” [...]
Are you living on autopilot? Want to get truly present to witness the miracles that exist in your every day life? I live my life following signals from the Universe. Yes, unconventional as that might sound to some people, I literally make my decisions in life through intuition teamed up with divine guidance, by [...]
How do you know what you like? You compare it to what you don’t like. How do you know when something is amazing? Because you know the opposite, i.e. not amazing, or in some cases dreadful! We need contrast in our lives, otherwise there’s nothing going on. I’m a big fan of positivity so [...]
Whether we realise it or not, we have expectations of how life goes and how the world around us operates. We are subtly looking for evidence each day to reinforce what we expect from life and from the world around us. The interesting question is - what do you expect from life and the world around you?

What are the recurring patterns or themes in your life that aren’t working for you? What challenges keep playing like a broken record in your life? The access to living your fullest life, reaching your potential, aligning to your soul purpose (indeed hearing your soul purpose calling you and acting upon it!) requires you [...]
On the basis that our energy vibration influences our outcomes, I’m pretty dedicated to mastering my energy vibration! It’s no surprise then I’ve spent a lot of time reading, thinking about and writing on the topic. In several books I’ve read, in my own intuitive ‘readings’ seeking guidance from my spirit guides, and from practical experience [...]
I’ve been conducting coaching recently for people wanting to create change in their life, and I noticed have prevalent it is for people to get stuck, hindered and pulled down by the negativity of others. Surrounding yourself with people who support and uplift you is very important if you want to either a) change your [...]
Our physical body is the vessel which allows our soul to live the human experience, but where exactly does our body come from? Well that’s obvious, the moment of conception sperm and egg meet and create a fertilized egg, our physical bodies begin to grow. Yes that is true but lets dig a little deeper. Our parents bodies produce the [...]
About 8 years I was between jobs, biding my time doing a contract role until I ‘figured out’ what I was going to do next. I was travelling between cities on my way to an event that my sister was running, as I was volunteering to help out for the weekend. It was Friday night [...]
Do you think the best bit about life is when we achieve our goal, when we get what it is we set our heart on, get to the end destination, revelling in the result we aimed for? OR Do you think the best bit about life is the journey we took to get there? [...]
Do you remember what it was like to be a carefree child? Do you remember the days when all you used to think about was what game you were going to play that day or what yummy dish was going to be served up for dinner? Do you remember what it was like to [...]
Life’s not static, right? It’s always changing. It does not stand still. We create our lives, because we are not static. We are always changing, never standing still, always moving, thinking and feeling in every minute of every day. Even when we are asleep in bed, we are breathing and dreaming. Our environment is constantly evolving, [...]

Contrast – Why Crappy Times Can Be A Gift in Disguise
