This past week or so, apart from finally getting round to painting the kitchen, I made time for reflection and goal setting. Even before a framework like ‘SMART goals’ can be applied, goal setting begins with reflection, evaluation, digging around to gain clarity of direction or focus. Through the process,...
This month’s GLAM Blog Club theme is ‘balance’. If you’re unfamiliar with GLAM Blog Club, I suggest you scurry over here then come back. Good? Grab yourself a cuppa. What immediately came to my mind is the often elusive and arguably irrelevant concept of ‘work-life balance’. This is no surprise...
I don’t officially leave the country until Sunday morning. But while I have the hubby doing some packing and a beer next to me…..wait, did I say that out loud?! I meant to say ‘tea’. š I’m getting in a few farewells. I’m terrified. I’m scared. Why oh why did...
It’s 1st of July and #blogjune is technically finished, but I really wanted to publish this post. Well, two actually. The last couple of days have been like the last few weeks. And things are not slowing down. Wednesday marked a very special anniversary. The anniversary of my hip replacement....

I’ve just arrived home from a stretching class at one of the places I do barre. It was amazing. No cardio. Nothing full-on. Just one hour of stretching and meditation at the end. Fiance and I were running around Brisbane today, buying materials for DIY projects and bits and pieces...
You may have time for something. You can make or findĀ time for something. But do you have capacity? The way I now look at ‘work/life balance’ (which doesn’t exist as a constant, stable state) has evolved from mainly two things. 1. An exercise I found in the bookĀ ‘Do More Great...
In between arriving home from work and going into a NGAC teleconference, I’ve just enough time to share photos from a recent getaway to Perth and Margaret River. I’m having dinner at the same time as I have a barre class at 8pm. Fiance and I usually plan two to...
