As I begin my last day posting here I wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of things as I begin to say goodbye to Tiny. :(

Fearless In The Face Of Karaoke – UPDATE

First, let me say a huge “YOU ROCK!” to those incredibly courageous and inspiring people who have already recorded their songs for my Sing Your Truth Fearless Karaoke Festival! (Believe me, you’ll be blown away by these awesome people when you see them – some big names, too.)

If you want to be included in the vid – you have until Thursday 9pm EST to get yours to me. Read the instructions and get recording before it’s too late. Remember, you don’t have to sing – just be courageous and fiercely fearless!

UNBlog Yourself!

I was honoured to be interviewed by the Swedish charmer Samuel Tornqvist for his blog UnblogYourself.com about my approach to creativity. I was surprisingly articulate given that all of my interviews are done when the sun isn’t even up yet – so if you want to hear my thoughts on getting unstuck creatively, on flow, processes and support systems that I use to help me do what I do, then check it out here.

One day to Go before The Big Move!

Fearless Karaoke

Are you ready to show the world how fearless you can be? With your voice?
Ways this could work.
You could stand on a busy station at rush hour and belt out a few tunes with nothing but an upturned hat on the ground and a scribbled list of songs.
If that’s too much, what about singing karaoke? [...]

Me and My Shadow

Have you ever caught yourself projecting? I mean, when you notice that you’re actively judging someone for something that you should really be working on yourself?
Like criticising your parents for hoarding and never being able to just let go of things. Despite the fact that every drawer of your desk is filled with clippings and [...]

Can We Stop Talking About Stuck, Please?

As some of you may have noticed, stuck is the word of the year so far.
Look, there’s Stuck on the red carpet! And on the cover of Help! magazine. Here’s a a really dodgy picture of a topless Stuck smooching with someone on a beach. (In fact, there’s probably someone feeling Stuck right now.)
Yes, indeed. [...]

Why You Need A Strategy And A Perfect Chocolate Biscuit

Lately, I’ve been trying to lose weight.
Mainly because one of the blissful side-effects of babydom is a little extra padding – like everywhere.
Five months has passed since baby was born (five months! Where did that go???) and I’m bloody bored of wearing the same three slouchy t-shirts and my lifesaving spotty wrap dress. (I swear [...]

How To Get Past Your Well-Meaning Fears

Have you ever used one of those draught excluders that look like long snakes? They lie across the floor along the bottom of gappy doors to stop the cold air sneaking inside.
When I lived in the UK, these snakes were really important, especially in those deep winter nights when the tip of my nose would [...]

When You Think The Law Of Attraction Just Plain Sucks

Two years ago today, I almost died.
But then I’ve actually almost died, like, three times. (And those are just the times I know about. I have no idea how many other potential brushes with death I have had. Probably loads. Who knows?)
The first was when I got stuck into my parent’s cask white wine in [...]

Three Ways To Deal With Fear Crashing Your Party

Fear.
A horribly drunk and evil gatecrasher of the party that is your life.
It bitches in the kitchen behind your back about how dreadful the food is, how much your colleagues are bored by your work and how you’re boyfriend is flirting with that girl from marketing in the next room.
It steals the cash from your [...]

How To Get Lucky

We all want a little luck in our lives, right?
Check that. We want buckets of the stuff. We want luck stalking us and spamming us and kneeling at our feet.
But what is luck, really?
Some would have you believe that luck is a mythical beast, and that those who say they are lucky are just lying [...]

Why Your Back Up Plan Is Not Enough

Do you have a back up plan lurking somewhere?
Is it propping you up?
Is it standing by your side,  stroking your brow?
You can almost hear it whispering a creeping sleepiness that causes your ambition to get all snoozy and want to crawl back to bed and snuggle under the blankets.
You get comfortable. You stretch and yawn [...]

Why You Are Free To Jump

Thumbnail image for Why You Are Free To Jump

I remember standing next to the diving block, staring down at the strong smelly pool water, and being scared out of my mind.
There was no way I was going to jump in.
I could see some of my school friends taking the leap next to me, but they were so much taller that me. (I’m only [...]

12 Easy Ways To Get More Focus Into Your Life

Thumbnail image for 12 Easy Ways To Get More Focus Into Your Life

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” ~ Anthony Robbins
Did you know that by the end of January, most people will have failed to keep [...]
