Blogs and podcasts and eBooks, oh my!

I love December and January because it's always an extra special time to be inspired!

One of my ongoing goals is to keep inspired! It's one of my key strengths - zest, enthusiasm and energy for life.

One of the main ways I do this is by reading books, ebooks and blogs and listening to podcast.  Some of my favourites include the classes at Entheos Academy and the podcasts at Radio Enso.  No hype, just practical action and inspiring real stories to get you in the right mindset.

If you haven't read my new ebook that I released on the 1st January, Creating your own Revolutionary Life, you can access it here for free.

What a wonderful year it's been.  At this time of the end, I was enjoyed thinking about who I should thank for their help, support and encouragement.  I'm always on the look out for beautiful thank you cards and make an effort to post a few out to the people I need to acknowledge.

Who do you need to thank?

Why the Mental Health System Can't Cope: Part 1

Over the last week we’ve been told in Perth, the place that I live, that our Mental Health system cannot keep up with the unprecedented demand for mental health services over the last couple of years.   While there are talks for more resources, more services and more money, what can we do individually to help this situation.

Unfortunately it is pretty common to have had either a personal experience with a mental health issue or know someone who has.  As someone who has assisted others with mental health issues, it can be scary to find the right support and ensure that person is okay.

Gratitude, Learning and Reflection

Last night was the final workshop for my third Young Women's Leadership Program in 2012.  For over 9 months of this year, I've been facilitating groups through the program every week!  It's been one of my highlights of the year.  Who knows where the program will go next year, but I will definitely look back fondly on the experience of working with 75 amazing young women from diverse backgrounds this year.

So I thought I would mark the ocassion with a blog of my thoughts.  What am I grateful for, what have I learnt and what can I reflect from the experience.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to develop this program and facilitate it three times this year.

Celebrating 12 months of blogging!

My blog is officially one year old!

Thanks so much for your likes, tweets and comments over the last year.  I've been having lots of fun writing posts and I'm so glad I'm still here after a year! 

The idea for this blog was born from 2 months overseas when I got married in Paris in June last year.  Everyday, I had the opportunity to relax, run regularly in the beautiful parks, meditate, listen to positive podcasts, eat delicious foods and journal! I can quite honestly say that I had never considered starting a blog, I've never considered myself that good as a writer.  Then the inspiration for this blog came about and I've never looked back!
