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...
Since graduating from the LIS Masters program in 2013 I’ve embarked on re-discovering interests outside of my work and professional involvement activities. Some I let go to make way for study and some that faded away during a not so great part of my life in my mid-teens and I really...
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...

Making decisions can be difficult. Making decisions can be uncomfortable. Even if we know the likely outcome of a decision, there is still a leap into the unknown. The unknown, or an unknown state is what makes decisions sometimes scary. We may not have all the information. We may not...
Thanks to Rachel for providing an idea for today’s #blogjune post. This is my response to keeping organised. You may also like to check out a recent post about keeping brilliant ideas in sight and creating a visual way to see all ‘the balls’ in the air (projects and commitments). There...
