This month I have been researching love for this – the final post in the Core Value Series! It’s been a beautiful and interesting ride.
JOY | Part X ~ The Core Value Series
It’s taken me a long time to write this post. Mainly because I’ve never really stopped to think about my own experiences of joy before, so it’s taken some researching! Along the journey I’ve discovered that joy can be elusive. Like the butterfly that flitters past, before tantalisingly disappearing from view – there one moment…

INTEGRITY | Part IX ~ The Core Value Series
This post has taken me a long time to gather the courage to write because the topic of integrity is so thought provoking! It’s about striking a balance between who you are behind closed doors and what you show of yourself to the real world…
GRATITUDE | Part VIII ~ The Core Value Series
It’s quite fitting that I looked at my schedule of posts this month only to discover that gratitude was the theme. Why – you ask? Because I can honestly and openly say that lately I have been ungrateful. Yes – it’s true. It happened slowly, insidiously creeping up on me in the absence of my awareness. In…

CREATIVITY | Part III – The Core Value Series
I never thought of myself as a creative person when I was growing up. I always felt like art was for other people, for ‘creative types’. I know I’m not alone – people the world over have denied their artistic talents, believing they never can nor will live a creative life. Well it doesn’t have…

AUTHENTICITY | Part II – The Core Value Series
You might have read or heard about the importance of being more authentic. But what does ‘being authentic’ really mean in day-to-day life?
