"Why would you want to do that?" That was the response I got from someone when I told them I was planning on taking four months to sail around the coast of Great Britain with my fiance in a 28-foot boat. They said it in the tone of voice as if they thought I was … Continue reading Be proud to be YOU!

What comes first – bravery or action?
What comes first - bravery or action? So often in our heads we think we need to be brave or confident before we can take action - I need to be more confident before I ask that person out on a date; I need to be brave/confident before I go for my dream job or … Continue reading What comes first – bravery or action?
You are not broken
You are not broken. There is nothing to fix. You're just having a moment with a lot of thinking going on. That's all. You have everything you need inside you already - the strength, resilience, wisdom, guidance, courage. The answers are there. They are just clouded and overshadowed by your thinking. You'll hear them as … Continue reading You are not broken
Who are you really?
I remember meeting up with an old ex-boyfriend partway through walking the length of New Zealand and he said the weirdest thing... He said: "Where did this adventurousness come from? You weren't into the outdoors or adventure when we were going out." In other words he hadn't pegged me as someone who liked climbing mountains … Continue reading Who are you really?
You don’t have to be a superstar
One of the random I thoughts and doubts I had ahead of walking the length of New Zealand was... I'm not Bear Grylls (that epic adventure man who drinks elephant dung). So therefore, I concluded, I can't walk 3,000km. Have you seen what I did there? First, I compared myself to someone who is uncomparable … Continue reading You don’t have to be a superstar
What’s it like to sail around Great Britain in a 28-foot boat?
So my fiance Mark only went and self-published an e-book on our experience sailing around the coast of Great Britain earlier this year. It's titled - A Voyage Around Britain in a small Yacht: A true and honest log of two everyday people sailing around the UK. I'm incredibly excited and proud! Of course I'm biased … Continue reading What’s it like to sail around Great Britain in a 28-foot boat?
What book editing has to do with life
I've started the editing process of the first draft of my book detailing my experience of walking the Te Araroa Trail down the length of New Zealand. I had been dreading it. How bad was my writing going to be? How much would I have to rewrite? How long was it going to take? Was … Continue reading What book editing has to do with life
There is always hope
There is always hope - even when things are pretty bad, you feel down or the world seems out to get you. Recently, I got engaged - yip over the moon! But this was the last place I imagined I'd ever be. Especially several years ago when I was with another man in an emotionally … Continue reading There is always hope
How do you improve your self-worth?
How can I improve my self-worth? That was the question I asked myself when I experienced the fallout from an emotionally abusive relationship. It's taken several years to put the pieces together to realise it wasn't a matter of trying to improve my self-worth but rather recognising my self-worth was always there. Bottom line... Self-worth … Continue reading How do you improve your self-worth?
Small steps to success
It's all about the small steps and taking the next one. When I first set out walking the length of New Zealand, the whole concept was so huge and overwhelming and I was filled with self-doubt and worries about what ifs. It proved to be pretty paralysing for the first couple of years I toyed … Continue reading Small steps to success
