When the difficult things in life get thrown at you and you get knocked for six… why keep holding on to God?
Don’t worry, I’m not going to try and give you a theological lesson on why or how to keep strong in your faith through difficult times in life! I’m not theologically trained and haven’t been granted divine inspiration on the topic at this point. Then what’s the point Continue Reading…
It seems for me that 2012 is the year of learning: to shelve perfectionism; to ask myself better questions and stop my negative self talk; to stop waiting (until things are perfect I suspect); and to stop hiding behind my story that ‘I am trying’… oh the places you’ll go when Continue Reading…
2011 was hands down the most amazing year of my life!
I love Hubby dearly and our wedding day was completely magical! About as close to perfect as you can get on a 42 degree Sydney day! But even Hubby will concede that it doesn’t really compete with the magic of 2011! Having grown a little life inside me for 9 months, I gave birth to Cheeky Monkey in 2011! Life will never be the same again, and there is no way Hubby or I Continue Reading…
Dr Seuss provides some weird and whacky stories that are fantastic for children, they’re great for rhymes and expanding the imagination!
The thing I hate hearing from hubby most is that dreaded ‘T’ word – I will try! Why do I detest it so? Because I know that it means it is an extremely unlikely possibility! So… if I hate hearing it from Hubby so much Continue Reading…
Over the last few weeks my pessimistic view of myself has been challenged, poked, prodded and challenged again! The well ingrained habit of pessimism is fighting hard! It’s feeling very uncomfortable with this rising wave of change… it’s like my pessimistic side knows change is coming, it knows it’s inevitable, but at the same time it’s fighting for its life! What if… for the first time in my life, I truly backed the rising wave of change???
I have my finger in a few pies, but no matter what I’m involved in my m.o. is the same – I participate in planning and training with gusto and then my momentum fizzles out. Take for instance, my Direct Selling endeavors (Nature Direct) – I’ve done a lot of training, been to conferences, networked… but when it comes to numbers of Show ‘n’ Go’s under my belt – well, safe to say it’s too embarrassing to quantify it here! It’s so typical of me! I get fantastic ideas! I get super excited! I start something new… Continue Reading…
Yes, it’s true, Side-tracked Home Executive (SHE) is EXACTLY right!
The other day I told Hubby I was going to have a shower… went into the bathroom to get a hair tie (with the intention of then going to our room to get clothes before hopping in the shower)… I got in the shower about an hour later! I got distracted by the state of the bathroom and started cleaning it, next thing I knew I was washing down the cupboard doors and the walls that had been bugging me for quite some time. How did that happen? At the bathroom cupboard I thought about the child lock I wanted to use it on the bathroom draw to keep little hand away from potential dangers stored in the draw… to put the lock on, the surfaces need to be clean and dry – and so the side-tracking goes on and on! I had been putting off cleaning the bathroom for a while, so it wasn’t a waste of time, or ‘unplanned’ seeing as I don’t really ‘plan’ any cleaning! It’s just one of those chores that is such a drag isn’t it?! But does it have to be this way? Continue Reading…
We enjoyed our first Christmas as a family of three this year! Very special… Despite everything being quite overwhelming, by and large Cheeky Monkey took it in his stride. Being grandchild number one on my side of the family, he was of course spoilt rotten by everyone – thanks so much! He was super excited about his new high chair at granny’s house, putting on quite a show at meal times! And he charmed everyone who visited us/ we visited while we were away! Continue Reading…
Do you ever find thinking and planning debilitating? Or should I say OVER thinking and anal excessive planning… Where you’re so determined to plan things out perfectly and do it perfectly the first time that you disappear into the planning and never actually get anywhere near the execution stage?
I’m all too familiar with that space… I’ve found myself there lately in relation to this blog… I’m so busy planning the perfect blogging space, what I want the blog to become, the things I’m going to write about, how I’m going to interact on social media and more, that I forget the basics – writing blog posts! Continue Reading…
We had a lovely glimpse into our future with our godson joining Cheeky Monkey in the bath over the weekend! Continue Reading…
