I just found out there are now 9 billion people on the planet. Wow. That’s a lot of people consuming precious resources. It makes me wonder....surely, if 9 billion people can do ONE THING to contribute positively to the planet, we WILL make a meaningful difference?...

Making time to make a difference
The juggle is real peeps. There’s always something to do, isn’t there? Sometimes the busyness is overwhelming and I just fluff about, not really getting anything done. I feel like I’m either working, cleaning, moving things from one place to another, dusting, washing,...
Writing a book is like creating a course!
At the moment, I'm busy creating courses. My day job as a learning designer keeps me in the creation zone and I really enjoy the creativity it brings. When you create a course, you have to think about the objectives as well as the best way to deliver the information....
Darling, you’re different!
Having embraced my unique approach to life, I will continue doing things my way without expectations of what success 'should' look like. I've always done things in all aspects of my life because it 'feels' right (for me). As I share in my memoir, I went through a lot...
365 NEW DAYS OF OPPORTUNITY

The Menopause
I’ve found this blog post really hard to write. Mainly because I am so caught up in the middle of the menopausal hormonal imbalance that my brain fog won’t allow me to keep a thought for too long. I start to write… then my mind goes blank. It’s like the rainbow wheel...
Giving to those who need it most
On any given night across Australia, more than 116,000 people are homeless. That figure is close to the population of Bendigo in Victoria. Let that sink in for a moment. How on earth does this happen in a lucky country like Australia? It’s devastating and it’s getting...
