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…

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…

Limitless
Describe your life in an alternate universe. Should I set the scene in a utopian landscape, or a sun-lit noir dystopia? Am I powerful? Powerless? Impoverished or privileged? Do I have agency and influence over my life? Or am I like a rag doll that’s left to senselessly ride the turbulent waves of life? Am…

Priceless …
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? I’m going to answer this from a different angle. Yes, I’ve dined at 5-star restaurants and hotels from my city of Sydney to countries worldwide, including London, Paris and Tokyo. They were OK but over-priced and underwhelming at the end of…

A work in progress.
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. Ok, I’m not going to lie; when I first read this prompt, my eyes sort of glazed over. Not sort of; they actually did. I thought, okay, that’s pretty uninspiring (to me); however, after reflecting upon it…

Here we go …
List 30 things that make you happy. Here’s hoping I have no problem whatsoever listing 30 things that make me happy; okay, are we ready?
