It has been said that most of us are only 3 paydays away from bankruptcy. What this means is that if you were to lose your job tomorrow, and with no other means to make an income, it would take only 3 paydays before you’ve run out of cash. Ouch! I had a very vivid […]

Living in the moment vs future thinking
I’ve posted a lot about dating and relationships lately, and that’s probably because I’m single and have plenty of single people around me, some of whom I have coached along the way, so why not? There is always soooo much to learn! One of the biggest “traps” women tend to fall into when joining the […]
Why will my circle of friends influence my success?
I was at a seminar in 2005 when the audience was asked to write down the names of the five people closest to us. We were then asked to write down what we believed their approximate income was. After that we were asked to add the income figures together, then divide by 5. I was […]
When should I ask where this relationship is going? The answer may surprise you…!
“Julie” has started dating a guy. He’s attentive, he calls and texts her regularly, and they always have a great time. They’ve been seeing each other for three weeks now and so far everything’s great! But she’s wondering what his intentions are. Where is this “relationship” going? She hopes he’s not using her for sex!? […]

I know as well as you do, that if you want to lose weight, the best way to do it is to work out regularly and eat clean and healthy. But if it’s that simple, why is more than half the population overweight? Well… I’m the queen of procastination and laziness at the best of […]
Full Half Glass Twinterview
I recently had the pleasure of being “Twinterviewed” by a parent of one of the boys my daughter plays soccer with. This Twinterview involved me being asked several short questions relating to personal development, where I had to respond with short answers of 140 characters. It was actually quite an enjoyable experience – and it […]
It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all
I love this saying, because I believe it to be soooo true! And there’s a reason for this belief…! Let me take you back almost a year ago… I had finally woken up to myself and walked away from a very toxic relationship which had lasted over 2 years, so I was feeling a little […]
Don’t criticise, condemn or complain
I can’t believe it’s taken me sooooo long to get my hands on “How to win friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie. I’ve only just started reading, but am loving it already! I finished Chapter 1 last night, which was titled “If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive”, which was […]
What is the WORST thing that could happen?
When caught up in a situation where I want to do something but feel afraid, my first thought turns to this: What is the WORST thing that could happen if I did this? If the worst thing that could happen does not involve the sky falling in, the world ending, or some other great world […]
I really love your book!
Dear Michelle, I really love your book!! It was great and downright inspiring. I also love the “workbook”, I’ve renamed it “How to become happy”, since it really helped me see things more positive with a lot more confidence. I’m on the best way to confidence, thx to you 🙂 Thank you so much, Yours […]
