I went to bed last night tired and drifted off easily. Then a child woke me about 20 minutes later to tell me he couldn't sleep. Thanks for that. So of course then I couldn't get back to sleep and my mind kept wandering... I started to think stupid things... as you do. In the …
A song came on yesterday which took my back to being 19 years old. It's funny how music reminds you of places/times/people/feelings... In that flash back to being 19 years old, for a moment, I wished I was back there. I was at Uni in Canberra living with friends. They were fun days. I had …
Last week I had a day or 2 of not feeling the best... we all have them. Probably over-tired, stressed, worried, hormonal... whatever. I am pretty good at pulling myself out of these moments. I am good at positive thinking and I am big believer in thoughts become things. So if I feel bad for …
When my boys doubt themselves, this is the conversation we have... My husband's favourite saying is "back yourself." He's said it so many times... As soon as one of them says they can't, or it's too hard, my husband is quick to turn it around. He should be a motivational speaker! I hope the kids …
I did a twitter chat last night for the webinar I was part of. I wrote about it here. But here is where you can actually view the entire webinar. In the chat last night I was asked how have I kept motivated and inspired over the last 7 years? Good question! Here's a few …
"Are you listening or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?" My bestie was telling me about this quote last year. I hadn't actually heard it before... I mean, I knew it was common courtesy to listen, but the quote was ringing in my ears.... "waiting to talk?" I have probably been guilty of this. I …
Happy Mother's Day to all the mummies out there. Be gentle with yourself today. My thoughts are with those who have lost a Mother and with those who are hopeful of being a Mother. Today I won't be making a huge fuss about myself. I'll just be taking it easy and smiling because I am …
{image} This year, for me, has been better than last year. Last year felt like a bit of a waste, like a bit of a blur. It wasn't intentional. 2013 just wasn't my best. Here's some random points on why I think it's going better (but I still haven't figured everything out yet!): ♥ I've …
Those 3 words... busy, stressed, unmotivated. Do you use those words in your daily life? Are they part of your general vocabulary? If you had to delete them from your vocabulary, could you?? I've been meaning to get this post up for a while... It was a talk by Shannan Ponton (Biggest Loser) that made …
Hello! Thanks for coming by. Phew, it's been a hectic couple of weeks around here! Although I am not complaining... I was pondering as I was driving the other day (as you do) and realised I am SUCH a creature of habit and find them very hard to break... I order chicken all the time. …
How's 2014 for you so far? Are you smashing it? A friend of mine said to me the other day "Katrina, I am totally smashing 2014 so far..." Love it! That was awesome to hear... I feel like I've got things a little bit more under control so far this year... at the end of …
Want to join in for 2014? Let me share with you what I'm going to do... My lovely friend Emma initially gave me this idea. She started writing something she was grateful for every day on her private Facebook page (I mentioned it here too). I became addicted to reading them. I waited each day …
