Lessons of a life lived thankfully.
I have something to tell you.Sit down, grab a cuppa, & buckle up. This morning I woke up & wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep. To simply find a dark place to hide away in. Away from the world. Away from pressures nipping at my heels & responsibilities I've signed up for. …

Here’s the thing about young, handsome Argentinian lifeguards on beaches... they’re very convincing. VERY. CONVINCING. Maybe it's was his accent, my broken Español, or the casual way in which his eyes lit up when I said "Is that hard to do?" that I decided to go out on a limb yesterday. Literally.

Every year as we collectively rock into the Festive Season, I like to take stock of the year just gone by. By slowing down & feeling grateful for new lessons-learned, big wins, ouchy losses, & everything in between I'm feeling rather introspective & reflective.

Don't grow up, it's a trap! I have an old, worn, favourite t-shirt with these words emblazoned across the front of it in block letters that, even after many years, defiantly stand out. Black on white. Loud, and slightly faded. When I bought this shirt, on a blisteringly hot summer's day near the ocean in …
