For a short time on Sunday the universe seemed to be conspiring against me. Was it an evil plan to take me out of my fabulous state? I had just presented my Fast Track to Fabulous weekend workshop which was a truly uplifting and fabulous event. A little later that evening my state was not so fabulous. I had 3 …
My interest in reality TV as a “social experiment” started in 1992 when ‘Sylvania Waters’ aired on the ABC. My inner voyeur couldn’t get enough of watching how people communicate and interact. I was fascinated by the triggers and motivations that these people exhibited whilst going about their daily life. Can a reality TV show really be a microcosm of …
Last weekend was our 12th Wedding Anniversary. My husband (Jon) & I have agreed that rather than spending money on gifts, we spoil ourselves by enjoying a couple of days away from home in a nice hotel or B&B and that’s what we have been doing every year. We love this system as we get a chance to spoil each …
I had the privilege of sitting next to a lovely gentleman at a Business Network Breakfast this morning. Not long after exchanging the usual niceties we started talking about his life. A number of years earlier he had come to conclusion that he had not been a good father to his son. He decided to take ownership for his actions …
Christmas was not my favourite time of the year because it had all become too difficult. Christmas was only ever referred to as ” F***ing Christmas”. Life in a standard nuclear family (if there is such a thing these days) is hard enough but in a blended family it takes on a whole new meaning. There are the usual demands …

There are so many things that we could change for the better. The reality is that 92% of New Year’s Resolutions fail. As I reflect on …
I was a virgin until the age of 35 and I have to admit that my Personal Trainer was responsible for my ‘first time’….I will always remember the moment that he asked me…. “What exercise do you do?” I blushed and replied, “I walk”. “Why don’t you run?” he asked. I considered this question for a moment and responded with …
With all the stealth and intrigue of a Mission Impossible sequel I carried out what was a perfectly executed surprise birthday indulgence for my gorgeous husband. I managed to pack for the weekend, whisk him away to a luxury suite in a city Hotel (he says “…kidnapped”), arranged pre dinner cocktails, a sumptuous dinner and a surprise lunch with our …
A few years ago I was faced with a decision that rocked my view of the world…should I continue to keep in contact with a friend that had been in my life for many years? My friendship with Sophie was a strong one…she is intelligent, has a great sense of humour and we could talk and laugh about anything for …
As I reflected on the happiness that I have experienced in my life so far, I came up with a list that I would like to share with you; the day I got married (twice), the day I gave birth to my gorgeous son, special magical moments with my friends & family, holidays, indulgent romantic getaways with my husband and …
