It’s Good to Have Friends

March 21, 2013

Sometimes it takes a pivotal moment to help change your outlook on life. For me, it was the devastating events of Monday, 22 March, 2010. On this very day, a terrifying hail storm hit Western Australia, the worst in 50 years. There was extensive hail, strong winds and heavy rain; all of which caused damages… Read More It’s Good to Have Friends

You Don’t Have to be Perfect

March 13, 2013

Many of the people I come across in my life, are generally very shocked to hear how busy my life is. They’ll make comments such as, “You’re wonderwoman!”, “You’re supermum!”. Then they’ll awe in amazement and follow it up with, “I can’t believe you have 3 young kids and write as well… How do you… Read More You Don’t Have to be Perfect

Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

March 7, 2013

There was always this inside joke between my friend and I. She would joke that I basically knew the answer to everything. Whenever something was troubling her and she needed advice, she would always come to me. I was not only her friend but her confidant – someone who she could depend on to provide… Read More Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

You Are What You Believe You Are

February 21, 2013

I’ve learned a lot about myself since becoming a mother. I’ve learned even more about life. You see, I have 3 young children – a 2, 4 and 6 year old. All of them have a speech and language delay. And it’s been tough on me; emotionally, mentally and physically. But in my six years… Read More You Are What You Believe You Are

The Greatest Love of All… Comes From Within

February 14, 2013

Four years ago, someone very close to me lost a loved one. It wasn’t due to illness, it wasn’t due to death. His seemingly perfect relationship with his partner had come to an abrupt end. He lost the girl he thought he would spend the rest of his life with; the woman who he thought… Read More The Greatest Love of All… Comes From Within

Why You Need Something to Look Forward To

February 7, 2013

Every month, I look forward to a certain night. This special night always involves some conversation, a lot of driving, and plenty of noise. It’s a night that means a lot to me, because it brings me back to the days when I first met my husband. Yesterday, I almost passed up the chance for… Read More Why You Need Something to Look Forward To

Supporting Others in Their Success

January 23, 2013

I caught some of my friends off guard today. They were unaware that I once had a passion for writing poetry and music, two of my favourite pastimes as a teenager. The even bigger shock to my friends was that I’d once auditioned for Australian Idol. As I smiled and reminisced about my attempt at a music… Read More Supporting Others in Their Success

My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool

January 14, 2013

A friend of mine once criticised me for being “too nice”. She thought that I needed to change, otherwise I’d be taken advantage of one day. Funny thing is, it was actually being “too nice” that saved my life. In a previous post, I wrote about how I went through a tough time and believed… Read More My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool

Why It’s Good to Say No

January 7, 2013

I was never very good at saying no. I was afraid of the consequences. I wanted to please others. I didn’t like the idea of confrontation. But as adjusted as I’d become in my comfort zone, this behaviour was never in my best interest. I was so focused on saying yes, I didn’t realise why… Read More Why It’s Good to Say No

It’s OK to Make Mistakes

December 12, 2012

I came across the following quote the other day, which got me thinking: “Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they’re bad… it means they’re human!” We’ve all been there. We’ve all… Read More It’s OK to Make Mistakes
