For the last couple of days I’ve been enjoying a welcome rest from the general freneticism of life at my favourite spa. Just look at that pool – in the past, I’ve often felt the stillness and clarity of the water was a fitting metaphor for the inside workings of my...

Today, I’ve been reflecting upon the words of a great medical predecessor of mine, Hippocrates. As a doctor, I’ve also long been mindful of his advice to “first, do no harm”. In medical practice, we can often feel pressure to “do something”. And yet we know one of the...

There are times in life when our future looks exciting, where we see the possibilities for what we might achieve in the world, for the legacy we would want to leave behind. And there are times when life seems like a horrible disappointment. We may have had such hopes...

There’s been a lot that has upset me in my life. A lot of things that haven’t gone my way, a lot of realities that haven’t met up to my expectations. It’s caused me a lot of pain. And a lot of effort in trying to reorganise my life circumstances in order to feel...

2015 so far has been my ordinary year. After 3 years of what has seemed a quite dizzying existence – working with some of the top names in my industry, jet setting all over the world – this year I decided not to get on a plane. Not even for a holiday. I felt the need...

Today was a chance for a family get together with the main focus of attention on our newest addition – one very cute baby. There’s something so mesmerising about babies as they reach an age where they’re ready to fully engage with the world. Cute, charming, funny,...

In our “Creating the Impossible” group this week, we’ve been exploring what it is to give and receive advice. Now, I’m someone who hates being told what to do. I love coaching because it enables my clients to get quiet and access their own wisdom – not look for advice...

If you could set yourself an impossible goal, what would it be? That’s a question many of my friends and Facebook pals have been asking themselves this week, as we start the “Creating The Impossible” Program with Michael Neill. If you could set yourself a goal that...

I used to think there was something wrong with me. So many entrepreneurs around me talked of their creativity – where was mine? When I was in school, I loved to write stories, draw, paint, do crafts, come up with new ideas for games, and produce creative solutions to...

I haven’t been very visible of late – not on my blog, not on Facebook, not anywhere. I’ve been in the midst of the biggest “meltdown” I can remember having in years. For the last 3 years I’ve been growing in an understanding of the inside-out nature of life. As my...

I had so many plans leading up to last weekend – plans to create all manner of things, big projects and small. A weekend off is a rare treat for me and, whilst I rarely resort to a “to-do” list any more, I had a clear “Plan A” drawn up in my mind. As it turns out, my...

In the flow of “What would I like to create today?” it occurred to me to turn my attention to my Facebook page (Click here if you want to see!) – in an act of re-creation today! My page has been lying dormant for a long time. I initially concocted it on the say so of...
