Our brains have a nasty habit of turning something that went wrong in the day, a simple problem, into a big deal and it has a flow on effect.

CBT is a… Continue reading The importance of gratitude

Reality of no travel, setting goals and where I am at
The World got smashed by this pandemic in March and it is now August and it will be going on for some time to come. Experts say this pandemic could last as long as 2 years as history has shown with previous pandemics. We could suffer up 4 waves of the Coronavirus. I have gotten… Continue reading Reality of no travel, setting goals and where I am at
Getting back into the groove of things
As the Nation slowly reopens its doors I too am getting into a new routine for work and life. Like everyone else I have been unable to make plans, set goals or drive outside my local area. It was incredibly frustrating especially in the early days when we had no idea of an end date… Continue reading Getting back into the groove of things
30 day decluttering challenge
I think it is safe to say that lockdown will remain until the end of April after the Australian Government ramped it up again and imposed stronger restrictions on our day to day lives. So I decided to put together a little tracker for myself and will complete a 30 day decluttering challenge during April… Continue reading 30 day decluttering challenge

They joke I have it easy as I work in the office for first half of morning, then I work from home for rest of day. Sure… Continue reading Finding routine when working from home
Cancer Council March Charge update – At the halfway point
If there is one thing I have learnt very quickly with this walking challenge is that when one works in an office and spends a lot of time in front of a computer, you hardly walk at all. In the first week of this challenge I was pretty sore from pushing myself to even make… Continue reading Cancer Council March Charge update – At the halfway point
Sunday Funday: Lunch in Cronulla, March Charge begins and Autumn has arrived
What a day! Sunday kicked off with a drive out to Cronulla where one of my friends, Rozanne, lives with her daughter. The 3 of us caught up for lunch at a great little cafe called Anna's Bookshop which was so cute. The menus were old Golden Books that were repurposed. The big kid in… Continue reading Sunday Funday: Lunch in Cronulla, March Charge begins and Autumn has arrived
Morning people are the worst- My night routine
It is nearly midnight and I am cleaning and decluttering my house. Why? Because I do my best work at night, not at some unholy hour in the morning. Morning people are the worst and I am tired of reading blogs and watching You Tubers talk about the benefits of getting up at 5am to… Continue reading Morning people are the worst- My night routine
Gearing up for a girls weekend- The power of 3
I am so looking forward to this weekend to catch up with my friends Melia and Samantha.
