On Thursday, I was blessed to participate in the @RosesintheOcean Touchpoint workshop.
The work this organisation does is phenomenal. It is clear they care.
Care to understand
Care to hear
Care to support
Care to see people where they are at.
Care not to jump in, and fix

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
— A.A. Milne
This is one of my favourite quotes.
A reminder of the greatness that is often hidden from clarity due to busy-ness and distractions.
Our interpretation and meaning are the filters we use.

The No. 1 cause of burnout is doing the same thing over and over again and not seeing results.
— Steve Kaczmarski
Is now the time to look at what could be different to change your future, avoid burnout and keep yourself on target with your desires?

The date is coming up fast.
One week today, are you coming?
We chat, we laugh, we ask each other important questions.
We hold space for the concern, the uncertainty, the what ifs.
We gently guide you to see other perspectives, but if you need more grief support, we will
Think for a bit, how many people do you know?
How many are in your inner circle, friends, and acquaintance groups?
Then, do the maths. If 56 people, of all genders, are diagnosed with Breast Cancer, 9 people a day are dying, 1 for every 7 people, predominantly females will e

This is what I, and Honouring Life Education, have committed to. A month of 56/31. That is 56 squats per day for the 31 days of March.
Why?
Honouring Life Education is about supporting those who are navigating aging, palliative and end-of-life phases. Now, I know breas
How does the saying go?
"Life's too short to be sad?"
In this case, I think there is wisdom in celebrating our loved ones more often, especially with a living wake.
As Mark Edwards described, "It's a way to say goodbye to friends and family."
It's also a positive step in the

We are not prisoners of our past, but pioneers of our future.
— Dieter F. Uchtdorf
A perfect reminder of - which side of life do you focus on?
Half full or empty?
Struggles or wins?
Heavy or light?
We do have the capacity to choose, it just takes practice and focused attent
Here we go...
The first of February is tomorrow, so now is a good time to consider how you are stepping into the next month.
What's new and different?
What are you committing to practice or learn and implement?
Maybe it is about relaxing and getting back into routines that w

"Who do you think you are?!" in a condescending, hurtful way?
Do you ask yourself with compassionate curiosity?
It is a good question when asked gently.
Who are you?
Who are you really?

How was your week?
What did you get upto?
What did you decide to put aside for another time to create space to do what needed to be done?
What wins and opportunities did you create this week?
How did you acknowledge and celebrate them?
Remember, what we focus on, repeat and g
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

What have you grown and changed over the past week, month or even a year?
What in the world did you want to change, and then took courage to change perspectives, or at l
Are you even aware of the commands - instructions playing out in your life?
This is a fun and interesting question.
What is a command? It is an instruction telling what to do. It can be
- building up or crumbling.
- positive or undermining.

What really matters in your life?
Being 'authentic', and true to self, but what do these really mean?
For most, it means doing what feels right - for them. I relate to this and also use it as a reason to do or not do things. The next question then is...
Is it getting you wan
