I just had that sudden tingly feeling in my body when you realise you have achieved something great. Do you know what I’m talking about? I think it’s probably a lot to do with pride. I just realised that after immersing myself in language changes over the last 6 weeks I think some have finally embedded […]

A moment of sheer bliss every day
What’s your special heart warming treat every day? Every day you say? “You can’t have a special treat every day Wendy. That’s not possible. You are crazy.” But what if it is? You are going to think I’m a crazy Nanna but my sheer bliss every day is a cup of tea. And the funny […]
How do you treat your magnificent body?
Do you do these things to your body: Survive on minimal sleep Criticise its imperfections Constantly judge it Drown it with alcohol Overload it with sugar Starve it on new diets Compare it to other bodies Place never ending emotional stress on it Fill it with junk food and processed food with no nutritional content […]
Rituals and celebrations (and the 2017 whiteboard…)
Woohoo that time of year to start fresh and start my new happy board. Yet I kept putting if off. Why? Not sure, so finally instead of it being something else on the list I needed to tick off, I decided it was so important it needed a celebration! A big celebration. It makes my […]
Why I think bliss balls are rubbish
Yes, I’ve said it. It’s out there. It’s controversial. And I’m a health food freak! Give me anything with dates, cacao and a splash of maple syrup and I’m in heaven. But here’s the thing. Who has time to roll all those ridiculous balls? Here’s what I do. Chuck it all in a container lined […]
The importance of words
Words are phenomenal. What they can do just blows my mind. We can communicate with each other, we can learn, we can be entertained by stories, we can tell jokes, we can write love letters, we can encourage people, support people, debate, discuss, argue, write, read, talk etc. Where would we be without words?

My magic weapon for happiness
It’s a whiteboard!!!!! Yes that sounds like the worst thing on earth – conjures up pictures of a bossy person explaining budgets to you and telling you that you are never allowed to spend money or have any fun ever again. But mine is different. It’s magic. Oh, of course it’s not magic. It just […]
Be kind to yourself
So you’ll see this as my sign off for all posts. Interestingly this morning I felt like a bit of a hypocrite because I actually need to be telling myself this very important message. I’ve been so anxious and uncomfortable since I launched my blog out into the world and I’ve been trying to work […]
Why feeling lonely is a good thing
Yes this sounds totally daft. Let me see if I can actually explain this to make sense. Most of us are in such a big crazy rush every day. We are never alone. We are with our partners, our friends, our children, our work colleagues or a billion other people commuting to work. We feel […]
Children have got it going on
So it’s 3 weeks since leaving my job and I’m sitting in paradise in Far North Queensland, Australia, at the pool with 2 free cocktails feeling very happy with the world. I start watching kids. As someone without kids I’ve often seen them as a bit of a bother when they are in my space. […]
