As I drove out into the Hills last week I noticed the fresh-looking clusters of pink blossoms on the fruit trees in the orchards. My heart jumped slightly as Spring is my favourite season – and what better indication than blossoms, that Spring is on its way? Spring, for me brings with it brightness, hope and growth. The orchards had rows of trees covered in these little blooms; but then in stark contrast, in the very next section were bare trees. Very naked, by comparison. Not everything ma... Read More
I joined a new library today. I’ve belonged to the same library for 3 years despite moving into a different suburb.

I’ve even complained a couple of times that I’d worked through all the books in the section of my genre-preference.

A client this past week sat reflecting on how far she’d come in her coaching journey. She was trying to understand the process she’d been through and said to me, “I’m not the same person I was. I’m still feeling sad about things but I’m really happy.” I paused deliberately until she consciously heard what she’d said. Surprised, she then said to me, “That doesn’t even make sense really – but my heart understands it!” She understood Jung’s words, “I’d rather be whole, than good.” T... Read More
I have an addiction. A public addiction. I watch American Idol - despite being a few years (er....decades) beyond the target audience. This may be justification, but the main reason I enjoy it so much is seeing the personal transformation each individual goes through (internally and externally). The seemingly 'lost' auditionee is seldom the same when he/she leaves the show once voted off. The winners and finalists have usually developed into 'fuller', more resilient people in awe of...
