    Round up of words from 2020

    12/11/2020 /

    Sharing encouragement and inspiration with you is one of my great joys. It helps me to know what is going on in my head too! This online space is not the only place where I share words. I will be taking a break from publishing words (apart from social media so stay in touch there) for the rest of the year. Before I do, I wanted to round up all of the words I’ve shared in other online spaces for you to peruse here. Maybe you’ll find some encouragement to see you through this season too.

  • 2020 Manifesto Progress- failure or growth?

    11/20/2020 /

    I have sat down to write this 2020 manifesto progress report at least four times. All my best avoidance strategies have come out. Procrastination, finding other ‘important’ tasks to do and mindless games all feature in the past few days. I got curious about why I was so strongly avoiding this. Then the tears sprang up. Reflecting on progress over a year always contains emotion. Add 2020 to that. The story I am telling myself is that I have failed to meet the goals I set and the manifesto I established. The critical part of me is loud in the background. So what is the truth? I am asking myself…

  • Reflecting on 2020 and how I have grown

    11/06/2020 /

    It would be so easy to get to this point in the year and rush to move on. The desire to push this crazy year into the past is tempting. I see that sentiment in so many places. I understand it but I don’t want to take part in it. We can miss the significance, the growth and the lessons if we relegate 2020 to the rubbish pile. An interview I was part of and a planning for 2021 exercise I am doing with my mastermind group has had me reflecting on 2020.    I knew from the beginning that 2020 was going to be huge in my life. A…

  • What I Learned this Autumn 2020 (AKA pandemic intensity)

    06/05/2020 /

    Before I get into what I learned this season, I want to acknowledge all that I am learning and reawakening to in light of recent world events. I want to be part of change for the long term right here in Australia, not simply get caught up in a short term flurry of passion. I want to raise my daughter to pursue true equality and reconciliation too. #blacklivesmatter At the end of each season, I take time to stop and reflect. I want to remember what I learned. This is a regular practice in my life and yet this one is very irregular. Never before has an entire season been…

  • What I learned this summer of 2019-2020

    02/27/2020 /

    Audio version of this post here. At the end of each season, I make it a habit to stop and reflect on what I have learned. I have a tendency to rush forward and press on to the next thing, which results in losing the opportunity to learn from what has been in order to carry those lessons into the next season. This tendency to want to push away the past and head forward is an effort to avoid dealing with the emotions and taking an honest look at areas I’ve fallen short in. Maybe you can relate? Find an invitation to stop and reflect on this last season in…

  • Why am I already planning for 2020?

    10/22/2019 /

    Over the past week I began planning in earnest for 2020. How is that sentence even possible?! How is it possible that we are so close to the end of another decade? I know for some of you the thought of planning for next year already seems extreme and that you are barely managing to plan for tomorrow. I get it! Simply managing the plans for the next week feels exhausting right now. So why am I doing this and doing it now? I feel the tailwind blowing. You know the one. It seems to propel us forward at breakneck speed towards Christmas and New Year and suddenly you realise…
