Big Lives Are Made of Little Moments

Imagine if your whole life was delivered all at once - like a huge buffet you had to eat in one bite. 

Whenever I am feeling overwhelm, it reminds me that I am thinking of the big milestones and ALL they contain - the event, the house, the buiness, the relationship - as if I must experience every bit of it, all in that single moment.

And when I look back at some of lifes' mountains I've already climbed, I realise it's the little things I remember;

the way someone smiled when I didn't expect it,

the night being lit up by a full moon

the time I had a relaxing bath on a wintery Tuesday afternoon!

Life IS huge!  And it comes to us in a variety of little ways - one choice, one moment, one smile at a time.

Lifes' little moments pack a punch.

Collectively, they build your days, which build your weeks, which build your years… and before you know it - you’ve lived a whole life, full of little things.

We don’t need to wait for the next big thing to feel alive. 

We just need to notice the little ones already here.

The morning sun on the wooden floor boards. The text from someone who thought of you. The quiet moment of choosing love over irritation.

No ones' life is built overnight — our lives are built with little moments, the experiences we are conscious of.

What will you choose to be your 'little things' today?

  • Noticing the song of an early morning bird?
  • Telling someone they did well?  
  • Doing that daily task thoroughly, with true focus?
  • Appreciating the smell of fresh coffee?

Because one day, you’ll look back and realize... it really was never about the big things after all, but the little moments that built them.

Grow your business, your income & your impact

"I know I need a proper plan, more clarity, structure and someone to keep me accountable - or i'll just keep slipping into the same old patterns."

 If you're in buiness, a leader, or an entrepreneur looking for

  • Clear direction and strategic plan you can stick to,
  • Support from peers who 'get you', challenge you, and help you stay aligned with what matters to you,
  • Business structure that supports the life balance you want rather than one that drains it

What If Your Desire Is the Evidence?
Have you ever had an idea that just wouldn’t let you go? In 2015 I caught myself thinking … “I want to help people be the best they can be.” And then I immediately shut it down. “How would I EVER do that? “ ♡ What’s your idea?...that one that just keeps hanging around. “… to travel overseas for a year.” “… to own my own home.” “… to start my own fashion label.” Those ideas feel so good when you...
Returning to Yourself
Just today I came across a piece of writing one of my daughters sent me a few years ago. She’d written an account of her thoughts and observations leading into an interaction we’d had a year after I began a new chapter in my life. Reading it again stirred my emotion, and my gratitude, for what she’d delivered to me that day. The account of events she’d written about was true. What hit me was ho...
Why Does This Keep Happening?
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to become consumed by something you don't want? It could be a problem you’re experiencing now, A situation you’re dreading,A person you don’t enjoying working with,A ‘what if’ scenario…. It crowds out your thinking.
