So today was supposed to be my final post. I have the entire post all planned out in my head, but then as usual ‘life’ happened and I now feel slightly compelled to write about that rather. So I hope you don’t mind, but it looks like I will have to extend my challenge just …

Day 34: Be Brave Challenge – Waterworks!
So yesterday I woke up early on Saturday to tidy the house before Zukie arrived to clean. My flatmate has been away this week which means I have kind of let things slip a bit. I have realized that I function better when I feel accountable for another person. (That’s my excuse!) So I’m feeling …
Day 32: Be Brave Challenge – Learning to ‘Practice Gratitude’
While I was shopping yesterday I was grabbing new things I had already bought to try on with stuff I was thinking about buying. Had fly-away thought….” Whatever you do don’t pack ‘unpaid for stuff’ back into a paid bag. (An arrest for shoplifting will not do much for your career🤔.) Even checked bag while …
Day 31: Be Brave Challenge – Falling off the Gratitude Wagon
This morning I woke up feeling like I’d just slept under a thundercloud.😤Tried to meditate but it didn’t work so 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 message …
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 16: Be Brave Challenge – Lesson on Perspective
I just got back from Toastmasters, so, unfortunately, I am too tired to finish my enneagram part 3 right now. 😵But will definitely do it tomorrow💪 I started Toastmasters about 4 months ago in my quest to conquer my fears but I have a confession to make…I am absolutely petrified of table topics. For those of …
Day 12: Be Brave Challenge – Mother’s Day
I have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in my lifetime which means I have spent a fair bit of time sitting in airports watching people. The duality of energy in airports always fascinates me. On the one hand, you have people eagerly awaiting the arrival of loved ones. Smiling happy, joyful, excited …
Day 7: Be Brave Challenge – My Wonderful Friend Constance!
I have to admit I struggled to get out of bed this morning. I lay there mulling over my Kuk Monday (why do things always happen in threes?) and feeling a little daunted by the fact that it’s only day 7 of my challenge..what the hell am I going to write about for another 37 …
Day 5: Be Brave Challenge – ‘The Artist Way’
My attempt at a book review At the beginning of the year, it was recommended to me that I start reading the “Artists Way” by Julia Cameron. The book is marketed as a course in discovering and recovering your creative self. As already mentioned, I wasn’t in the best of places emotionally. I was, quite …
Day 3: Be Brave Challenge – Choppie Day
Today was Choppie day!!😍 I have secretly been pining for a dog these last couple of months…but unfortunately, I live in a flat….and we aren’t even allowed freaken birds….so it’s not really going to happen at the moment. But I think the universe heard my silent pleas and sent me Choppie. His mum teaches at our school and …
