Have you ever wished you had your own advisory board? Where you could turn to for advice or support? In essence, that’s what a mastermind group is. A group of people who mutually share their ideas, contacts, knowledge and experience to help one another move forward....

I read over my 2019 review and I had picked Challenging, Growth and Self Care as my three words. My husband jokingly said to me “You picked Challenging for 2019 – is it going to be Challenging x2 this year?”. Yes, it was challenging in 2019 and it went to a whole new...

“Let’s watch” As we waited for 2021 to come in, my husband, a friend and I sat around our kitchen table watching “The Queen’s Gambit”. We’d heard good things about it so we started watching around 11:30pm. Fireworks started going off in the neighbourhood and the clock...

“Mmmmmmm” My little boy traces his finger over the letter M and makes an mmmmmm sound. He’s eager to learn letters, stopping and tracing over any letters he comes across. He makes the right sound for the ones he knows and random sounds for those he doesn’t. We are...

“I acknowledge myself for….“ – Complete the sentence. When you look back over the year, it’s easy to think about the things you didn’t get round to or didn’t finish. It can be tempting to start this and then end the sentence with “but I didn’t manage to do X, Y...

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” I was recently reminded of the importance of play. Maybe I speak for myself, but sometimes as adults, we can get too serious checking things off our to-do list and achieving our goals. Sure, it can be satisfying and...
