Many people have an unspoken set of boundaries for what they do and don't do or a set of rules that govern the choices they make. And sometimes the boundaries that you give yourself become limitations. Suddenly you find that you're not doing the things that you want to do because your boundaries go against … Continue reading Pushing the boundary

The thing about missing out
Sometimes it might seem like you're missing out. But the power of hindsight is that when you push too hard for a particular outcome you'll find that you'll be glad you missed out. Turns out some things aren't meant to be even if you don't realise in the moment. We often get caught up in … Continue reading The thing about missing out
What it’s like to be an ideas person
Years ago I had an idea to create a lifestyle site based in my city. It would have included things to do and see, restaurant reviews and recommendations, arts and culture, places to shop etc... That idea never came to life. I wanted it to be a group thing, a site run by team of … Continue reading What it’s like to be an ideas person
Almost bored
Ever have those days where you're just pottering around the house not quite sure what to do. There are at least 17 things you could be doing but instead of getting things done you just sort of flitter from one thing to another, aimlessly. It's kind of like a sort of boredom, almost bored but … Continue reading Almost bored

The best part is I liberated myself. It wasn't from any single action but instead a collection of things like daily gratitude, monthly … Continue reading A womans liberation
In search of something
I think that most people go through the stage at some point in their lives where they're in search of something. You might call it finding yourself, getting to know you, self-exploration and so on. It's an important part of life that effects your career path, the friends you make time for, the people you … Continue reading In search of something
Don’t look back
...in anger (this has nothing to do with Oasis but I do love that song!). You can spend your whole life working on improving aspects of your life. Imagine you've always struggled with your career and finding something that you like that pays enough that you can live a life you're happy with you. Imagine … Continue reading Don’t look back
Comfortable or helpful
You can't always have both. So it turns out that the thing that brings you the most comfort might also be incredibly unhelpful to your personal development. It could even be the main thing holding you back from living your dream life, a life of bliss. But you get so caught up in the comfort … Continue reading Comfortable or helpful
When thank you isn’t enough
Sometimes people have no idea of the role they've played in our lives but maybe that's how it was meant to be. I hold the belief that you meet people for specific reasons. Often people come into our lives to serve as reminders of things that we've forgotten. And when you eventually remember you are … Continue reading When thank you isn’t enough
