I won best speaker award for this presentation.

I am being interviewed by Kate Delaney about my book Passion to Thrive. We explore topics such as what inspired the book, what I have learnt from it, how to approach change and how to embrace the Divine Feminine.

Listen to my conversation with Valeria Teles

Valeria is an insightful interviewer who asks the big questions about my book, Passion to Thrive. We chat about the most challenging aspect about being a woman, what is freedom and inner peace, and listening to your body.

Hello future me.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wisdom and guidance you have offered me over the years, for holding true North for me this whole life.

As I think about you, I realize that there are a lot of things I don’t know about you.

And there are a lot of things I do know about you.

This is a poem that won first prize on the ultimate go getter app.

It is really important to include yourself in that loving. If what seems to be the loving thing to do for someone else is going to leave you depleted, it is not the loving thing to do. You are no less important than anyone else. You are certainly no good to anyone burnt out! Sometimes the loving thing is to say no. You never know just what resources and creativity the other person can draw on to have their needs met, and they might never find out for themselves either if you continuously solve their problems for them.

Gratitude is a soft breeze on your skin

And sun on your face

And laughter with friends

In these days of ever more shrill bad news

I take a deep breath

And I remember a time

This is the most listened to poem Iris has posted on insight timer.

The future I see

Is gentle

Forests are lush

The world’s waters are crystal clear

And sparkling

And teeming with life

Deserts bloom

It is likely that you have come across this idea that Earth is like a school: You have to learn a lesson, and then once you have learnt it, you get to move on to the next level and the next lesson.

But what if … we change perspective?

Our society so far has been dominated by male adolescent ego consciousness, which has brought Earth to the brink of collapse and has suppressed the power and qualities of the feminine in general and women in particular.

In response to this, women have reclaimed their power and have paved the way for both women and men to embody the Divine Feminine.

Now it is time for us to take the next step, embodying the Divine Masculine, to restore balance within ourselves, in our communities and our human and natural world.

Here are my thoughts on what that could look like.

Everyone in Australia has been affected by the recent wildfires in some way or other. Some have lost everything, including a loved one, some have “only” seen the horrendous images on TV.

The initial response from people on the ground has been immediate and appropriate and practical and very much filled an immediate and obvious need.

But once the ashes settle somewhat and the initial shock wears off there is the longer-term aftermath to consider. And/or if you live in an unaffected area and you have a kind and compassionate nature, the question arises:

What can I do to make a difference?

“IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, YOU HAVE NEVER SLEPT WITH A MOSQUITO. ” DALAI LAMA

We are not supposed to save the world all on our own – just our little corner of it.

And if we all do that, there will be ripple effects in our community and ultimately on the planet. So just do your bit, the bit that really gets you fired up, and inspire others to do the same!

CHRISTMAS IS HURTLING TOWARDS US YET AGAIN ….

A couple of Decembers ago, I queued behind a couple with a VERY full shopping trolley at Big W. Their bill was over $700,- and they needed 3 credit cards to pay for it.

Happy Christmas – would you like a little stress with that?

I never really grew up with prayer.

I did grow up with the concept that there are angels and spirit guides and God or Source or Universe or an originator of All That Is (whichever term you prefer) and that you could potentially turn to them in prayer.

I also grew up learning to rely mainly on myself, making my own decisions and wearing the consequences.
