Talking about the power of choice, Napoleon Bonaparte said, Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide. When I came across this quote, the thoughts that ran through my head, were that a big part of freedom is the freedom of choice, the freedom to decide for oneself. And [...]

Dream for it is you who creates your world
Do you believe this? I have a close friend who is always saying, "Every decision you make is the life that you live". Do you believe that? I do. Because I have seen it all in action. Whatever decision I make today, whether it is big or small, affects tomorrow. So yes, you create your [...]
Free to dance in the rain!
Freedom... It's what I think about, it's what I talk about, it's what I write about, it's what I respond to. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17) We sang that at church on Sunday and it got me thinking... Where is [...]
Need more motivation? Here’s how!
I’ve been talking a lot of about getting organised, decluttering, and daily routines. But how motivated are you? Do you need more motivation? To do anything, or reach any goal, we must have at least some self-motivation. If you are anything like me, you start something, like a new diet, an exercise regime, a hobby, [...]
A place for everything
Apparently, according to Wikipeadia, Charles Augustus Goodrich popularised the saying, A place for everything and everything in its place, way back in the 1800's. It's also been attributed to Benjamin Franklin. The phrase was published in an article called "Neatness" which was published in an Ohio newspaper in 1827. The idea was that everything should [...]
Do you plan to focus?
I saw this quote recently, "If you don't have a plan it's like you're going to an unknown destination without a map." For whatever goal we have, or whatever change we want to make, we must have a plan. Our plan is our map and our compass. It keeps us moving forward and on track. [...]
Are you moving closer to your vision?
Do you know where you want to be tomorrow? Do you have a plan? A vision? Do you know what you want to achieve, what you want to have, whether it be career, marriage, family, home, relationships, holidays? If you do, are the decisions you are making today aligning with where you want to be [...]
Have you swept your mind lately?
I read this recently but I don't know the source... I am woman, I am invincible, I am tired! If this is you... I understand! When I first heard the term "swept your mind" I had no idea what it meant, but it has a similar result to sweeping a chimney! I wrote an encouraging [...]
The power of what we believe
What we believe is key to overcoming the things that hinder us from achieving what we want to achieve. Whatever change we want to make, if we are to be successful in making that change, is dependent on what we believe. What we believe is congruent with what we think. Henry Ford said, Whether you [...]
Are you taking action?
It is important that you take action if you want to move forward with your desire to create change in your life. Do you feel stressed, frustrated, uncertain, or a lack of freedom? These can be indicators that you are not moving in the direction you want to go, or at the very least, not [...]
