It’s the first week back at my computer working - but from a different country.Same nine to five, same job, same clients, same deadlines, same to-do list.The only thing different is the location (and I admit, a better view).But I still felt the groan and the frustration of the alarm clock going off at 6:30am … Continue reading The secret to happiness

This time next week I'll be leaving the UK and returning to New Zealand... for two years. 😮 My British fiance got his two-year visa for New Zealand and we get married over there in March so it was a "why not" moment.

“I’m becoming present to me”
"I'm becoming present to me." Those were the words said by a client earlier this year. It was a truly beautiful moment.

This mostly revolved around the feeling of stress. I … Continue reading No one can make you feel anything

Volcano number 26 – Helvellyn
Helvellyn – It’s a mountain (and a volcano) I’ve wanted to climb for years. One of those illusive ones that I could have done a number of times but just never got round to.

Don't worry about the future or consequences of saying yes, she said. And then she gave an example. She had … Continue reading Opportunities and regret
Life is like a muddy forest
Walking through a muddy forest is not dissimilar to life in general. There are some good bits, some bad bits and some truly horrid bits. Sometimes you just want it all to end. You want to give up or you wish a giant black hole could transport you to anywhere else but here. The thing … Continue reading Life is like a muddy forest
