One woman's journey from corporate life to a life of freedom
Its been 5 months and 27 days since I started to housesit and I have to say I’m enjoying my novel new lifestyle.
I had initially heard about house sitting as an alternative way of travelling and signed up to a recommended house sitting site for a 3 month trip I was doing. Even though I [...]
Yesterday I wrote about a major part of the “story” of my life that I had been hanging onto. This got me thinking about how I describe myself to others and how I think about myself. I was reminded of an opportunity that I was given recently to look at exactly that.
Last year I attended [...]
Each of us has a story to our lives so far. People, moments, disasters and successes that define us or, should I say, that we allow to define us because our view of how they have affected us is just that, our view. Our version of the truth. It is our choice as to how we [...]
I recently attended a lunch held by Professionelle (an online network for professional women) based around the topic of Career Strategies For Women. As I am in a period of career transition this was a timely topic for me.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is my light, not my [...]
I have been thinking for awhile (okay, make that procrastinating) that I haven’t been as productive as I could like to be in my work day. This is especially important as I am working from home on my business so there is no one that I need to be accountable to at the end of [...]
I’m starting to think that the clutter in my life is breeding while I’m asleep. I finish my day feeling like I’m on top of what I need to do then, come the next morning, I discover a list that I made days ago that had slipped down the side of my desk or the [...]
A couple of days ago I wrote about how you cannot change what you tolerate. I thought it might be useful if I shared a coaching exercise that will help you identify any tolerations that you may have, and give you options on how to deal with them. This exercise is not about listing all [...]
I was invited to my friend’s 6 year old birthday party which was held at an indoor rock climbing venue. I have climbed a couple of times in the past so felt confident that I could lend a helping hand and hold onto a rope or two.
As I held the rope that kept these kids [...]
