Does ego = success?

In the last few weeks I have found myself saying, out loud I might add, that I wish I had a bigger ego. That’s not really what I mean but I’ve just noticed some people out there seem to gain success by nothing more than over self promotion. One of the things I love about [...]

Taking a break

Hey friends – how have you been? I’ve been a little silent lately and have decided after a some soul searching to take a break from blogging. I won’t be gone indefinitely but I think I need to step back and find my groove. I seem to have lost it over the last couple of [...]

Hey friends – if you hadn’t guessed already I’m at it again. I’m talking of the MS Australia 24 Hour Mega Swim which takes place next weekend.

Please humour me while I ramble with my thoughts today. Recently I’ve been thinking about finales and I don’t mean of your favourite TV show variety. Like the time you did something for the last time, did you know you would never do it again? I am the type of person that gets very nostalgic [...]

What’s On Your Bedside Table?
