Me Time Challenge - are you in?



I know this is a busy time for moms, we have 1001 things on our minds, the daily schedule is out of whack and the kids are climbing the walls. 

It also means that moms tend to push their self care to the bottom of the pile, I'm no exception but I KNOW that July is a crazy busy month for me and that if I don't look after #1, I will be a frazzled mess come August!

So join me on the Me Time challenge, I'll be sharing 5 techniques you can use anytime, anyplace, anywhere (almost) to help you stay sane and happy!





Pop your name & email in the box below and we kick off on Monday...

Taking Time Out

I have been quite good about not ranting like a crazy woman over here about my recent gremlin attack in the website, I have lost, I don't know how many hours to trying to figure things out - it's a curse sometimes thinking that you can fix anything if you work on it long enough.
In the end I had to admit defeat and get a man with a plan in to deal with it. He is fluent in geek-speak and so I hope he will have it all sorted in time for the doors opening for the next round of In With A Boom.

I'm really excited about running this again, I loved doing it last time and seeing the progress, the a-ha moments and the wins of my clients was just fab!

But because of the gremlin issue, everything has gone off track and I'm not scrambling to make sure I have everything set up and ready. Emails written, artwork done, videos recorded and everything else that goes into a launch.

If it's something that interests you I'm happy to break it all down, a behind the scenes peep, if you will, just let me know.

Anyway, I have been going at it pretty hard and of course it's all desk work - not good, so I decided to take a break and head out to my favourite cafe. I deliberately didn't take my ipad or laptop so I couldn't do any work. But I did take my kindle so I could read instead.

Managed to score free cake and coffee too - bonus!



It really is matter of living and work by my rules, the ones that I share with my clients, it wouldn't look good if I didn't lead by example!

In case you missed it, I'm going to be running some free training this week - the first part is what to do if you fall of the wagon and you need to get back on track - a favourite and much asked for topic!

Sunday Morning Rituals...

Now the Aikido dojo has been refurbished Ebi-kun is back at the regular dojo at the same time every week. I used to sit and watch, or read a book whilst he practices but then a new mall opened 5 minutes walk away! Excitement. Trouble is, the mall doesn't open until 10am and aikido starts at 9am. Bummer.

So I have taken to going for a long walk and exploring the neighbourhood. We used to live a 10 minute bike ride from the dojo but I never really explored this end of town, I say town, I mean rice paddies!

The rainy season is upon us so the flowers are out, these are stunning but make me a little sad because I know the hot humid weather will be with us soon...


Something you don't see much of, graffiti, interesting that it's often in (bad) English! I have no idea why, maybe it looks cooler or something!


Very humid day, looks like all the rice has been planted, the gray valleys now look green and the paddies are so noisy with the frogs!


One of the honour boxes, this one is a bit flash and the only one I've seen in this neck of the woods sell flowers! There is a price for the veg and flowers, you drop your money in the box and take what you paid for. I do love that these exist!


Then when I've done my hours ramble I head up to the mall for a nice coffee and some "me time"! Not a bad way to start the day.
