This morning I woke up feeling like I’d just slept under a thundercloud.😤Tried to meditate, but it didn’t work, so I picked up my ‘ morning pages’ book that has been relatively untouched for the last…mmmm..28 days. Decided maybe I should start writing again…😓 (Clearly I haven’t reached equanimity status just yet.🤔) Then I decided to …

Day 30: Be Brave Challenge – ‘Hot Loneliness’
I posted this video a while ago…but it really is one of my favourites. 🤗Glennon is so funny, so cute and so completely vulnerable (my new favourite word). I love how she describes the ‘hot loneliness’ of learning to sit with yourself rather than filling our lives up with distractions. 🍔🍕🍩🍫🍺🍹🏀🏋🏌📱💻📕📺💉🚬🎲🎸🚗 I was out visiting my Godmother …
Day 29: Be Brave Challenge – Dumarse Shit Stories!
Truth be told some of us take a little longer to learn certain ‘life lessons’.😉 Random story: I made my favourite Vietnamese spring rolls for dinner last night🌯🌯. In an attempt to pack some for lunch today I put them in my long container, which has a little side container. (Perfect for my soy sauce, …
Day 28: Be Brave Challenge – The Davis Program
I have been really excited to share this video of this gorgeous child that I work with. Daniel is a super intelligent and insanely cute grade 2 boy, who is dyslexic. As a result, he has struggled quite a bit with his reading and writing these last few years. What is so frustrating for me as …
Day 27: Be Brave Challenge – The Big Picture
I think today I made peace with being the proverbial cat lady. 😂 Although I have to admit they are very strange creatures that I don’t quite understand. I usually start with Pumpkin, as secretly, he is my favourite. 🐈 He sits on my lap the entire time I am there, soaking up every bit of attention he can …
Day 26: Be Brave Challenge – Grief to Gratitude
You always hear people talk about the power of gratitude. As a life coach, it is one of the first things you learn about. While my head could understand it (I mean logically it makes sense)…I never really got it on a heart level. I definitely felt grateful for my life, my job, my friends …
Day 25: Be Brave Challenge – Teacher Life Lessons
Today was one of those awesome teaching days when your students actually seem to be learning something 😂. Mmmm….well sort of 😎 I took one of my language groups this morning. One of the little boys who frankly has a few ADHD symptoms (let’s call him Eminem) actually seemed to be focusing and getting all his vocabulary …
Day 24: Be Brave Challenge – Toastmaster Ice-Breaker
Today I got told I looked like I had just got back from a funeral.😲 (so not the look I’m going for😂) I assured them I was perfectly fine but maybe just a little overtired. When I explained about my posts she said tonight’s post should say: “Need sleep, going to bed!”I am going to follow …
Day 23: Be Brave Challenge – My food Obsession
I have to admit I felt like myself again today. (You gotta love sleep) …mmmm.. clearly letting Weezer out every now and then is good for my soul. I think it is pretty obvious that I think about stuff a ‘shitload’. My biggest problem is I often seem to be stuck in two mindsets which …
Day 22: Be Brave Challenge – Weezer Rant!
Ok, truth be told: I feel like the inspiration has dried up a bit. Not that I don’t have things I still want to write about, but frankly writing every day is beginning to feel a little like a full-time second job (that I’m not getting paid for😣). Constance made the mistake of suggesting that …
