My vision is to see every individual pursue their heart's dreams; to create for themselves a heaven on earth filled with love, joy and an appreciation of God's miracles daily.
Hopefully, my blogs motivate, inspire and encourage you to do just that! Nobody should be afraid to dream BIG. Don't allow the fear of failure to stop you from achieving your success. Love and enjoy life through an ever-thankful heart, and appreciate the beauty and miracle in each moment. And when the going gets tough, keep smiling. These are the words I tell my spirit on a daily basis.
"Above all else, guard your heart for out of it flows the wellspring of life" Proverbs 4:23
Purposefully placing God first in every decision I make. Because who better to have on my side, guiding my every move, than the Creator of the universe, eh?
My Bonfire Night Ft. Guy Fawkes
Remember, remember the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes tried to bomb the Houses Of Parliament 212 years ago on the 5th November. His lack of success was rewarded with a punishment befitting the crime of treason: he was hung, drawn and quartered. (Don't Google that!) So every year us Brits (or at least us English… Continue reading My Bonfire Night Ft. Guy Fawkes

Always save your work. Doh!
I’ve just finished writing a piece of promotional material for the first AMPLIFY Peak Performance business workshop in December. My laptop shut down because the battery is having problems right now. And the file and all those hours of work are lost. It was literally about 250-300 words. But it was 250-300 words of gold!… Continue reading Always save your work. Doh!
AMPLIFY: Letting Go
In my AMPLIFY Peak Performance & Holistic Wellness Program, ‘L’ stands for ‘Letting Go’.

How… Continue reading Creating Our Future: Olympic Legacy Debate
Losing it! Finding flow.
I'm struggling to find time to blog regularly, but I want to recommit to this blogging game! So here's my new strategy...
There’s not enough time!
There's more than enough time. Those who feel as though there's not enough time, live as though there's not enough time - rushed, frazzled, panicked, anxious, in a feeling of lack - like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. I'm guilty of this stress-inducing lifestyle choice from time to time. But I'm so thankful that… Continue reading There’s not enough time!
Achilles Tendon Recovery Update: Weeks 12-18
On the day this photo was taken - August 30th - I had just left my physio's office (Chris Bramah at Athlete Matters/Worsley Physio). As you can see, I had a smile on my face. Why?
