What a week. Usually when folks say this on a Friday they talking about the manic week they’ve had at work and how pleased they are the week is finished and they can relax on the weekend. I could say that too. It’s been incredibly busy this week with work. But it’s gone well and really it’s not what I meant when I said “what a week”. A couple of months ago things changed for me. Best way to describe it would be to imagine yourself nice and content having…

As the headline and image above suggests, I been on the beach a bit this week. It’s been incredibly busy with work (a good thing) but I’m so lucky that I seem to be finding a good balance of focusing on work and taking the time I need for myself too. It’s so important to make my life here sustainable. I need the work to pay my way and to work towards my goals, but without the balance I’d be unhappy, stressed and well probably quite grumpy. I don’t like…

Cross post from my work blog I’m very excited about this project and so happy that I was able to contribute to the Indiegogo campaign. It’s such a worthy cause and truly something I believe in passionately. Without education, we will fail to rid the world of the massive problems we face. Some hard hitting facts: 1.6 Million more teachers are needed in classrooms by 2015 – UNESCO 250 million children around the world cannot read or write – UNESCO Learning basic reading skills could lift 171 million people out…

Happy birthday to one of the most wonderful and loving people I know, my Mum. Mum is one of the most important people in my life. She’s embraced my crazy decisions with unconditional love and support throughout my life and this is one of the greatest gifts anyone can ever receive. Thank you for being you Mum. Love you and happy birthday.

Cross post from my work blog (link to the original post). Pleased to announce that Metlife Mall has chosen to work with me again on the re-development of their website. I worked with the Team in 2012 to build the existing website and I’m thrilled to continue working with them. Had a great meeting this week with the Team to review the major expansion and re-branding project for the mall which will be completed in 2015. I’ll be delivering new user engagement features for the website, a re-brand of the…

Since I moved to Kidd’s Beach a year and a few months ago, I been building a life style business from scratch with no outside funding or capital. I wanted to not only live by the ocean, but to enjoy all it has to offer. So I came “home” to Kidd’s Beach and have been working from my home doing website site design and website hosting. It’s been a slow start, the business not growing as quickly as I’d hoped and I feel I’m about 6 months behind where I’d…
