An Attitude of Gratitude.
What positive emotion do you feel most often? I’ve finally managed to embody a genuinely deep and unwavering ‘Attitude of Gratitude’. How does this manifest itself? Through feelings of pure joy. Priceless moments where I get to connect with nature, witnessing its beauty, vulnerability and intensity. For example, I’ve just come inside from outdoors after…

Step by step … intuitively
How do you plan your goals? I’m not a list writer, but I do write everything down, if somewhat prolifically. I plan my goals by addressing and balancing the bigger-picture issues/needs/intentions with the smaller-picture details. My brain is wired in such a way to enable a healthy mix of pragmatic intuition. I don’t view goals…

A plan
Create an emergency preparedness plan. A plan to plan is not a plan, by the time you need to evacuate everything should have already been organised.

Three little words that have an incredible impact … too much of an impact, actually.
What is a word you feel that too many people use? Should have… Could have … Would have … These three words have a significant impact and subsequent effect on people’s sense of self-efficacy and agency. Generally, when I hear a client utter, “I should have, or, I could have, or would have”, they’re usually…

I’m just a little quirky.
What brings you peace? Once again, my charming ‘quirkiness’ lends itself to seeing and processing today’s writing prompt somewhat differently from the masses. I’ve always been this way, and I expect to continue to do so. Insert smile. Peace, what is peace? Is it related to external ideas of ‘freedom from personal or systemic violence?’…

I care more about the inherent struggle, the journey and less about the ‘profession’
What profession do you admire most and why? This question has no definitive response, as I see merit and worth in everything from being a cleaner to the Astrophysicist. There is incredible merit, courage, and resilience needed to wake up every morning, knowing that a job is simply a means to an end. It doesn’t…

To blog, or not to blog, that is thy question. Right? Maybe? You tell me.
Let me start out by saying that I love writing. I love sitting down and creating something from my mere thoughts. My memories, observations and ideas work together to create something uniquely mine. Like seriously, the human mind is extraordinary! Amazing! Taking time out to write allows me to momentarily remove myself from the hectic…

A small slice of community … amongst life’s chaos.
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? I had always dreamt of owning a second-hand (thrift store), not just a run of mill kinda store, but one that could act as a sort of community hub. I envisaged having a reader’s nook, where people could sit and read, maybe…

A heady combination of …
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? If I could only nominate ‘the most’ important it would need to be the combination of an open mind, compassion for self and others, a sense of self-efficacy, a tenacious spirit and a great sense of irreverence or humour. With that combination…

disABILITY …
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? This is a great question and one which requires a decent, thoughtful response. I would like my post to resonate with families of children with disabilities. I would like it if just one person was able to take from my…
