Another great 'Get Sh*t Done' workshop with the crew yesterday.

How good is it to have a group of people you know you can turn up to when feeling a bit grumpy and out of sorts, and that however you arrive, you'll be welcome and safe and end up leaving a million times better?

On top of that, I even got some sh*t done! 🤣

What a fabulous way to start the day off!

The Annual Winter Solstice Walk 'n' Talk hosted by .

Small business owners coming together at dawn and chatting as we strolled along the Maribyrnong River.

I've had a spring in my step ever since.

Thanks Andy from , Athena from and Sarah from Science in Public for being so kind when I got myself all stressed and then kept getting later and later, taking wrong turns at Albuquerque (I never knew how to spell that til right now!!) until I eventually joined you.

Love being part of everything you guys do!

Feeling refreshed and empowered after a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of my usual sport filled weekends.

The amazing Di from .focus.act and , together with Ash from and her nurturing and nourishing food, gave a group of women the most restful and reviving time at Continental House Hepburn for their Winter Retreat.

We slept, we ate, we talked, we laughed and then when it was time to say goodbye, some of us cried as well.

I was thrilled to be able to offer an activity on understanding our top Personal Values and sharing a lively discussion on ways to make small changes that will help people live more closely aligned to those values.

Such a strong and supportive community of women. This is my second year and it definitely won't be my last! 🙏🏼💜

Today, during my telehealth appointment with my brilliant psychologist who is based in Sydney, and who I see because she came highly recommended as a neuro-affirming practitioner through the clinic who did my ADHD assessment, she said something right towards the end that stopped me in my tracks, and I had to write it down:

"The greatest thing you can do is be your authentic self."

As anyone else who loves and listens to can attest, there can be a combination of "Grief and Relief" when you receive a diagnosis later in life, and I was exploring that topic in my session today.

Musing over the feeling of "being too much", or in some cases "not enough", we discussed the nuances of each quality people possess being able to be both a strength and a weakness.

Then she just came out with that sentence and I had to stop and write it down: "The greatest thing you can do is be your authentic self."

Had a quick look back through my gallery from last year's photo shoot with Gracie from , just in case there was anything there that reflected that idea.

Sure enough, I found these. 😂 Hope they give a laugh in this chilly Friday afternoon here in Melbourne!

I'm so looking forward to heading away soon to Hepburn Springs for a weekend yoga retreat with the gentle and nurturing Di and Lucy from .focus.act and .

Amongst peaceful yoga classes, meditation, delicious and nurturing food from , free time to enjoy the bush or read in front of the fire, I'll be offering a session on Personal Values.

An opportunity for the fellow participants of the retreat to do a check in with themselves and their most important values. To look at what matters most to each of them, and to reflect on how closely aligned their current lives are with those top values.

Having the space to explore what is working well in your life and what could be working better is a great act of self-care, and a weekend away is the perfect opportunity to apply some compassionate curiosity to yourself and your life.

These are all pics from last year's retreat. Can't wait to be back there soon!

Once upon a time, a farmer had a valuable horse run away.

'Bad news!' said the people.

'Good news, bad news, who knows?' replied the farmer.

Later the horse returned to the farm with many wild horses accompanying it.

'Good news!' said the people.

'Good news, bad news, who knows?' replied the farmer.

Some time after that, the farmer's son fell and broke his leg while trying to train one of the wild horses.

'Bad news!' said the people.

'Good news, bad news, who knows?' replied the farmer.

Soon after, the army came through town conscripting young men, and the farmer's son was passed up.

'Good news!' said the people.

'Good news, bad news, who knows?' replied the farmer.

And on and on it goes.

I can picture where I was, sitting on the couch in front of the fire, next to my wise old Dad, when he first shared this old Chinese parable with me.

This pic was taken a different day, when I was super excited to be in Ballarat for work and having a little break from my hectic day to day life in West Footscray.

I think of that story so often. It's such a great way of stopping ourselves in our tracks when we automatically get caught up in a negative response to our circumstances.

It can an equally good reminder not to get attached to something as definitely being good news either. We tend to think we 'should' focus on the positive, but another lesson my Dad loved to share was from The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, which teaches us the value in reducing our attachments and aversions. Trying to let go of any assessment of things or people as being good or bad, positive or negative.

Next time something comes up and you have an automatic response to it as being either good or bad news, try mulling over the idea that we don't really know, and seeing what freedom it might bring.

Who knows? It might even be helpful. 🤷🏽‍♀️😅

Photo taken at the exact moment I was telling Belinda she should have stood up on the high step that Del and I were on, so we didn't look so short next to Brad.... 🤣

A quick to Ballarat and back today to get together with the Leadership At Work Associates and discuss where to from here without our Robby Re.

I think Dad would be proud of the conversations we had and the ideas we came up with for evolving the work we all love, and continuing his legacy.

I'm excited about what the possibilities hold and where we might go from here. 💙

Just what the doctor ordered.

A morning with some of the good people who frequent meetings, at the beautiful sunny space upstairs at 's

It's so good to come together with other small business owners and chat about who we are and what we're up to.

I'm not up to a whole lot work wise at the moment, but being with Andy and Athena and the gang has inspired me to get some things happening again. 🧡

Mother's Day started with picking up some other players from our team for an 8.30am start at soccer, followed by realising I'd probably better get out of my slippers (no, not a MD gift- I bought them a few weeks ago to cheer myself up after losing Dad ❤️) and get proper shoes on so I could let the dog run off lead while the kids did their warm up and I munched on my breakfast.

We don't do big family lunches or any of that but I've learnt to love the messages from friends who all appreciate and support each other during this crazy thing called life.

Whether you're a mother, or have or had one, or anything in between, I see you if this day is tricky and I hope you have someone in your circle who makes you feel appreciated and valued.

And I also hope you have slippers that you love as much I love mine. 🤣🙌🏽

Just hoping when I'm half asleep tomorrow morning I don't mix up my meal prepping for my chia puddings with my husband's meal prepping for our chickens.... 🤣
