Collaboration: powerful outcomes

What happens when 2 people help each other?

From my recent experience great outcomes are achieved and stronger bonds of trust and friendships develop.

I am health coaching and supporting a great new client and he is already looking & feeling better after 3 short weeks which is fantastic....

and guess what?

Collaboration tag cloud

In return he is helping me to get into the digital world by designing me a new webpage with all sorts of features, setting me up to 'be in the clouds' & have a mobile business.

Healthy Mind Platter introduction

Do you feel guilty if you have down time? 


Do you struggle to find time for physical activity?


What do you do to 'play'?


How much sleep do you get?


Dr Dan Seigel and Dr David Rock are doing some fascinating work in relation to brain neuroscience & coming up with some solid reasons for looking after your brain / mind health including having time for 7 different things each day.


They are all designed to help maintain or build mind health.

With Professor Alan Fels alerted us to the increasing mental health issues being faced in Australia, it is now more important than ever to start caring for one of most vital organs..our wonderful brain.


What do you do to look after it each day?

Para para paradise Running

Do you ever have a Sunday that you don't want it to end?


I had one today at the Townsville Running Festival at The Strand in sunny Townsville. 


For starters, Tony the Magical Masseur fixed my dodgy calf over night & I managed to get through the 5 km Fun Run unscathed and uninjured, which is great for those who know me well........Ross Andrew-injured..


The weather was brilliant & the course so scenic..I will let the pictures do the talking..


Thanks to Tony C & Phil S. for the photos. Much appreciated.


The only sobering note was Olympic 10,000 meter runners covered twice the distance I did in the same time...still I much preferred my venue.

Getting better not older! Check out the Gold Medal (ignore the time..that was for the marathon runners).

Fun in the Sun: Sunday morning run

I am excited as tomorrow along with approximately 3000 other active people I am taking part in my inaugural Townsville sporting event...the Townsville Running Festival.

It promises to be a fun event with a beautiful sunny morning forecast & a wonderful venue & course along the famous Townsville Strand.........its a great promenade to stage such an event.

Townsville Running Festival

After the inspiration from the Women's Olympic 10000 m run this morning I am all fired up...just go to remind the left calf muscles to behave...TC will help me with his magic hands & ENAR machine to get me ready.

I am really hoping to meet Lyndell Punshon from Domain Gym who has gone from weighing 170 kg to 85 kg...what an awesome transformation.

Speaking of another transformation, Tony C. my star client, now weighs the lowest weight since he was in his 30s....he has given away almost 40 kgs as well... that equates to nearly 2 bags of cement]..he is doing a fantastic job as he heads towards his ideal weight.

Inspiring people..I love them.

Stay tuned for the update.

Getting better not older.

Our brilliant brain

Have you ever paid much attention to your amazing organ weighing 1.5 kgs consisting of neurons, water & fat that sits upon your shoulder?


I have just finished listening to an interesting presentation by Dr Dan Siegel on the brain & mind insights...fascinating information. Check out his website sometime..


In the meantime, see how clever the brain is at making things up & filling in the blanks..no wonder expert witnesses are so unreliable.

So if you want good brain functionality when you get older..stay tuned for next week's tips & topics....as mental health is one of my major areas of interest.

Hope you have a great & relaxing weekend. You deserve it!

Getting better not older.

Opportunities abound

Have you ever wondered what the day will bring you? 


This was where I had my lunch break during a hectic day..tough I know

The Strand, Townsville foreshore

Today it seems to me that I accidentally wandered in a treasure trove of dynamic people & a whole new world opened up for me..magic does happen it seems..I just have to be open for it.


New opportunities arose to build my health coaching business on several fronts & I am thrilled to be in this 'space' at present..and meeting people who are interested in & attracted to what I have to offer....I am so grateful for good things & can't wait for tomorrow.


As a post-script for James Magnussen: how do you reconcile your disappointment between a Gold & Silver medal: 1/100th of a second..such a cruel margin....I wondered if he is doing all the 'what if's'....


It will be a really interesting time to watch how he responds....stay tuned for Rio in 2016 I guess.

Gratitude on display

Again the Olympics are providing great insights into human nature. The rower from Niger must be having the time of his life..just how do you capture that moment & how will he tell his story when he gets home?


All I know that I bet he is filled with gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the greatest sporting event in the world....just how awesome is Michael Phelps..19 medals....hard to imagine winning one let alone 19...


Today I had another wonderful insight into my life & how incredibly grateful I feel for friends like Tony, my family and the fact I am awakening & coming more fully alive every day....


Something about moving from a state of 'entitlement' to gratitude..all sorts of good things continue to happen & I learn more lessons about life..


Now it is time to spoil myself with a taste of my latest dessert sensation after preparing my tax return all day.........chia-date pudding..it is delicious..if you want the recipe I am happy to share it


Hope you like the poem

Getting better, not older

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something

For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary

Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are

also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles

and they can become your blessings.
