The final part that I wanted to share with you was the enneagram passions. (http://enneagramdiscovery.com/passions/) To be honest I am not too sure how to explain the passions as I have not studied the Enneagram that closely. But I think the just, of it, is that each number essentially has their own passion that they …
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 15: Be Brave Challenge – Enneagram Part 2
So I am now thinking I have so many Enneagram stories I might need to turn this into chaptered posts. 😱😜 Without a doubt, one of the many benefits of using this tool is the clarity and insight that it has given me in understanding other people, especially many of the children that I work with. …
Day 14: Be Brave Challenge – The Enneagram Part 1
I have always been an incredibly up/down type of person. When I was in my late 20’s I seriously thought I might be bi-polar….in hindsight I had little understanding of how debilitating real manic depression was….but for me at the time it still felt overwhelming. (Ummm…of course, it didn’t help that I was fuelling myself …
Day 13: Be Brave Challenge -Random Rant
So this morning I woke up at the ridiculous hour of 1 am again. Seriously what’s up with that? (I’m not a bloody insomniac.) Lay there for 20 minutes before I finally thought “stuff this” will just work on today’s post. Which I did quite happily till 3 am….when my brand new (week old) phone …
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 11: Be Brave Challenge – Self Discipline
It’s been a weird two weeks doing this challenge. On the one hand, it’s been absolutely exhilarating actually just writing every day. I feel really proud of myself….still can’t believe I have actually kept it up for a WHOLE 11 days. 😁 On the other hand, it has completely knocked my sleeping pattern out of whack. I …
Day 10: Be Brave Challenge – Zumi
I love working with kids. They really are so sweet and funny. I especially love how honest they always are. Too often I feel children are discouraged from being honest for the sake of politeness. I try and encourage the kids that I work with to always tell me the truth…no matter how sucky it …
Day 9: Be Brave Challenge – Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Years ago when I was studying to become a life coach one of good friends in London, Harvey, gave me a book called…”Don’t sweat the small stuff”. I will not be doing a book review on that book because quite honestly I was way too busy sweating the small stuff to even read it. (I …
Day 8: Be Brave Challenge – High Value Man
Ok so just woke up from zombie apocalypse dream 💀👹😱😰…(Google dream interpreter says: “To dream that you are attacked by zombies can represent your fears of being helpless and overpowered.” Mmmm…..that sounds suspiciously like my love life ( I am going, to be honest…I wrote the post below on Monday morning…but then didn’t really have the guts to …
