Stuff on the Kitchen Bench
Continue Reading: Stuff on the Kitchen BenchI will start by saying the photo above is a stock image and not my actual kitchen bench! When I was younger, I was constantly told that things had to be put away. That meant that nothing was on the kitchen bench. This never worked for me for a variety of reasons, mostly to do…

Emptying the rubbish bin
Categories: HouseholdContinue Reading: Emptying the rubbish binI used to think that you had to wait until the rubbish bin was full before emptying it… I have no idea where I got this idea, possibly from when I was kid either being told or hearing my siblings being told to empty the bin because ‘it was full’.

Requesting Feedback…
Categories: BusinessContinue Reading: Requesting Feedback…This post is a bit of a complaint/vent/whinge, whatever you want to call it.

The other day, I contacted a company to get off their SMS list… and they sent me an SMS asking how they did! The irony…

I will see her tomorrow, but for today, I’m not going to see her. Why? She lives a 2-hour drive away from me. It’s also a workday, so trying to juggle everything was simply not possible.

Listening to Audiobooks while driving
Categories: ReadingContinue Reading: Listening to Audiobooks while drivingI go for a lot of long drives, mostly for work, but also to visit family.

BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goals…
Continue Reading: BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goals…I have been struggling quite a bit lately with goals. Back when I ran my last business, we were encouraged to set a BHAG – a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. A goal that was huge and seemed crazy. Even then, my brain struggled to compute this. I wanted to empower mums to have businesses, and…
