Yesterday and today I read of two horrific stories of fathers killing their children. One shot his entire family (including himself) and another threw his young daughter off a bridge and drove away. What on EARTH would possess a man to kill or even hurt an innocent child??? We can all draw assumptions about why, […]

The significance of the butterfly
Many people have asked me “Why the butterfly?” as the symbol or logo for my website. The butterfly holds quite a bit of significance to me, and this story will explain why: A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours […]
Are you afraid to take a chance?
We all face challenges and setbacks in our lives when taking chances, and some are harder to deal with than others, but what we learn from them is well worth the effort, regardless of the outcome! My biggest challenge was the day I decided to walk out of my marriage. For so many years I […]

I regularly check the statistics of my website so I know what people are interested in, and time and time again I see that many people are caught in an abusive relationship and don’t know what to do. I was in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship many years ago now, and can only try […]
Tomorrow is the big day!
Tomorrow I finally get assessed for my Life Coaching qualification. I have been coaching for a few years, but now I will finally have my formal qualification! I’m not feeling nervous, which is surprising – I expected to be, but maybe I’ll start to feel a bit nervous in the morning. I can’t wait to […]
The education never stops
Those of you who know me realise that I am a person who always has to be learning. If I’m not learning something new, I feel restless. When I am restless, I become annoying and I nag my husband (a LOT!). The reason I get like this is because when I am not learning, I […]
