I dare you

Last year I suddenly became daring. I went from happily living my life to pursuing extreme experiences and embracing life to the full.  Somehow, the lights had turned on and I realised time is not waiting for me, it’s ticking by fast and I had better pick up the pace to achieve all the things …

Downtime!

It’s been almost two months since my book was released and it’s been quite an active time since; from being invited onto radio shows, Facebook lives, international podcasts to book signings and I’ve even preached a few times too.

I Wonder!

“I wonder” is a phrase that I often coin throughout my day.  ‘I wonder if I left the gas on?’ or ‘I wonder where I left my keys?’ ‘I wonder if I should do that?’. Questions and pondering that regularly interrupt me.  However, there is also a kind of wonder that takes you by surprise …
