The latest!
Hello readers! I am so pleased to have you here! I have so much to share with you, it has been a busy time here with the mobile platform launching, a new wellness challenge being released just yesterday, and working with local businesses in the Gladstone region over the past month to add value to individuals doing it tough! I am so excited about the progress of my mobile platform which now enables my coaching clients to receive their mind workouts (coaching sessions) direct to their mobile phone. As part of the celebration two days ago on Facebook and Instagram, I announced the new wellness challenge, Fit in 30 Days! This is a challenge with a difference!
10 Ways to let out your emotions
'I have had enough of this, just leave me alone!'
'I don't want to hang out with people who cannot treat me probably. I'm over it!
These are the phrases we often hear ourselves saying when we have had a gutful. Expressing your emotions is vital for your mental health however there comes a time when you will need to choose to hold on to those emotions or let them go.
Stepping forward
Today I spoke with a minister. I haven’t stepped into a church for 2 years other than for tourist purposes. To be honest I didn’t know what kind of response I was going to get I simply knew that I needed to discuss a part of me I hadn’t spoken about yet- God.
The top 10 things of summer you wish you'd remembered in winter!
I am missing London! It's so dreadful wearing bikinis in the middle of winter on a coastal island in Queensland, Australia. Seriously though. In all seriousness though I miss actually being cold for winter. Last week I experienced ONE day of coldness, several days this winter I have nostalgia for the cold, dreary days where I could swing on my scarves, coats, beautiful knee-high boots, and darling beanies. All the while I know my UK friends and loving the heat and extended sunshine. To share my love of both winter and summer in the UK I bring you, The Top 10 Things of Summer you wish you'd remembered in Winter. Enjoy!

Why the travel bug is the best bug you'll ever get!
My journey in Europe and the UK has come to an end. It has been an epic adventure, one I'm not sure I will ever fully be able to verbalize the depth of its impact on me. I have met many people, witnessed a myriad of cultures, experienced delights, a few pitfalls, and yet again gained a thirst for exploring more of this amazing world of ours.
How to chill out when your world is manic
Does every day feel like a rat race? It doesn't matter whether you live in the city or a small town it is easier to make life a rat race by multitasking all of our daily activities by attempting to do them at once. It's very noble to attempt to do this but it simply leaves us feeling like an unaccomplished maniac. The key to chilling out when the world is spiraling isn't a craze it’s a lifestyle choice that Buddhists have been using for years...Mindfulness.
what teaching has taught me & Why I’m happy to work in business & education
Education takes your time, effort, dedication and as a friend said to me yesterday 'is a passion career; not everyone can do it.' So what has provided me with a passion to continue to teach over the past 8 years especially in the initial days of starting a business?
Why 'I' is the root of the world's problems
It is no surprise that Trump-like characters are allowed to rule over the major powerhouses of the world. The issues begin and thrive due to this 'I, me, my' mentality. We must ALL change it.
Merry Christmas!
t's Christmas! The Buble and Mariah songs fill my ears and remind me of silliness with my family. Food is everywhere. Turkey, ham, chicken, a buffet of belly stuffers; with food so delicious all limitations are dropped for the day.

You cannot celebrate the new without looking back on where you came from though can you? This is why I have decided to post your most loved posts from A Written Revolution, the very first online library of my works, here over the next week or so.
If walls could talk
Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit the Colosseum in Rome. It was stunning. The history poured out of it like the blood would have run out of the contestants whose fate once stood with the emperor of Rome. It took mere seconds for my mind to awaken to an imagined cheering, an eerie fear, and a cocky disposition of leaders who played God on a regular basis. The underground tunnels shocked me with the elaborate depths that were taken to create an 'entertainment' that's cost was a human life. It was then that I became flooded with thoughts of what stories the walls, cells, and corridors of the Colosseum hold- if only walls could talk.
On location in Split, Croatia
My journey to Split began like a scene out of a Bridget Jones film running to my gate bum cheeks most probably flashing hundreds of fellow passengers as my chambray jumpsuit not so eloquently rode up. Still, I luckily made it to my gate with a flurry of worried expletives, what turned out to be 15 minutes to spare, time for a coffee, and the purchase of some crisps. Needless to say, it was exactly the kind of start that created an icebreaker for getting to know fellow down to earth travelers. It was almost like I planned it.
An impressionable city the world can learn from
Whenever I travel there are a few traits that become inexplicably clear to me almost instantly as you arrive at a new location- people's manner, the culture in the air, usually born of people's manner, and the pride the people have in their culture and history. Throughout the past 3 weeks, I've traveled to 9 countries, many amazed me and some I could see myself living in but no other city made such a significant impression on my heart than Germany and particularly the city of Berlin. This is the city you don't want to miss.
I left my heart in San Francisco
With a bouncing stride in my step, I headed towards Union Square and twirled around to see Macy's, Saks on Fifth, Tiffany's, and the Westin. It was like a film of my own and on a day when all of my colleagues were hitting the books with the students..the best. This would be a holiday to remember- my first as a writer, the first where I had taken a leap of faith on myself and went all in.
The coffee moment.
You see if it’s not for the grinding of coffee beans and milk frother boiling over its the tap of freshly prepped milk and the quiet conversation of people from many walks of life. It is the buzz of difference in coffee shops that lead me to write...
