DEAR LORD, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE PLEASE TAKE MY PHONE AWAY FROM ME! Hide it from me. Throw it out the window from the 100thfloor (but, ferchrissakes check for pedestrians below please, I don’t want anyone injured.) Toss it overboard into the sea – have it swim with the fishes (then retrieve it to dispose of it …
Adding More ‘Me’ Into My Days
Lately I’ve been taking stock of things. You know, adult-y, important, life-y things. And, in taking stock of all these adult-y & life-y things, I’ve come to a fairly heavy, yet ridiculously common sensical conclusion – there’s just not enough time in the day. Seriously! I work hard. I support my family. I try as hard as …
Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
I used to think I could weather every storm alone. Blame it on ego, on self-reliance kicked into over-drive, or on a simple overshooting of my own abilities – but what I know beyond the shadow of a doubt now is this: we all need other people at some point to help us get better.
10 Things I Know For Sure At 37 (Well, Kinda)
I turned 37 this week. Holy moly, THIRTY SEVEN! This means that I’ve now outlived Hank, Jesus, & Marilyn in terms of years spent on this spinning rock we call home. I won’t lie to you, 36 was an interesting trip around the sun for me. I had some amazingly high highs, & some killer …

Wandering And Pondering, Slowing Down to The Speed of Life
Goodbye, Commute. Hello, 'Me Time.' I recently had three weeks at home between jobs. Well, really, only one week between them – but I spent the last two weeks at my old job tying up projects from home. But that's all beside the point. What I got, was three weeks of not having to fight …

Forget Hacking Algorithms! Do This ONE Thing & Your Content Will Stand-Out Every Time You Post
I'm Old(ish). Lately I can't seem to muster the oomph I need to get to the gym 3 x weekly like I used to. Long runs have turned into ambling walks where I look at flowers & other assorted flora. And, though it's difficult to admit, the pre-internet-era was a time that existed in my lifetime. …
Living Your Life On Purpose: A Busy Person’s Guide To Ultimate Fulfilment
It's 11am on a Tuesday in Auckland, New Zealand & I've just flown in from Los Angeles. Before you ask, no, I didn't do the literal flying. The pilots did, obvs (*insert Dad Joke about tired wings from all that flying here*) Right now my mind, body, & soul are balanced. Why? Well, for almost every …

A Letter To My Mom On Her 70th Birthday
Dear Mom, You don’t know this (yet), but I've been writing this for months. Years, even. It's taken me a long time to put into words something worthy of celebrating someone who's been not just my best friend & North Star, but that to so many others. The second I hit ‘publish’ on this letter …
Get Out Of Town, Literally. Why Taking A Break Is Good For Every Part of You.
The Rat Race & The Human Hamster Wheel If you're like me, your life is a bit like a hamster wheel - but for humans. We live out our best years as quasi-robots bound by a monotonous & perpetual cycle that has been colloquially dubbed the 9-to-5. This cycle is what we're taught as children …

Speak Out & Shout, Every Voice Matters this International Women’s Day
Wake Up To Change I woke up this morning as I do every morning. Full of hope for the day ahead. Full of excitement at the promise of new adventures. And, let's be honest here, slightly sleepy & bleary-eyed after what's been a manic start to a jet-lagged week after two weeks back home in …
