You know when thoughts just collide, and sometimes you just wonder how your brain connected them? well... that happened to me this week. 

The speaker training "stage time" experience here at the International Maxwell Certification is... nuts. Observing the whole process from start...

 So, it's becoming a habit now.

The writing, followed by the doubting, then the procrastinating, and finally the abandoning... a short interval and then a regeneration of the writing... followed by the doubting, etc etc.

We just got to Orlando for the August 2018 International Maxwell...

We were on our way to an event a little while back, and I don't even know how the conversation started - but by time we got to the venue, I was in tears and babe was angrily walking a good few paces ahead of me.

As I darted to the restroom to fix my face and get myself together, I bump into Mark...

I haven't written for a while, since Dec 11th in fact.

The truth is, I have had so much on my heart I haven't known what to do with it.  

There has been a realization over the past few months that I can't be whatever people 'expect' me to be.

It felt like the one place where (finally) I felt...

I spoke with a dear friend this evening, and she said, 'what happened... why no more blogs?' 

I sort of hummed and hawed, and confessed that I just was feeling below par... almost a little too raw right now to write.

Our call coincided with a message I received from another dear friend,...

So, I write this Thanksgiving 2017, from my kitchen table... still suffering the TMI remnants of a horrible stomach bug that has quickly made it's way through the entire Galbraith family (save Leon who is on constant toast-making and water-fetching duties).  We are watching back-to-back...

So, yesterday was an "interesting" day.

I gave up coffee on Tuesday, trying to detox a bit, trying to align what I put in my body with how I'd ideally like to look and feel.  In short, just trying to climb out of "struggling" and morph into a zen-like creature, swanning around with beautiful...

I love Facebook memories.  One came up today, and it was from 6 years ago... it's just me sharing a simple quote:

"Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be" ~...

I sit here with a glass of red wine thinking perhaps writing is a little like driving and perhaps one shouldn't drink and write... but here goes anyway.

D messaged me today.  I don't know how I connected with D, but she is a very beautiful, very 'together', very...

20 years ago today, I got married.

Not to babe, but to my first husband.

(It's not so romantic to recall your 'first' wedding day is it..? The day when you promised yourself to another, that ultimately ended in heartbreak and heartache.)

It just jumped into my awareness today, as it was a fairly...

I am not a great friend.

Perhaps I should rephrase that... if I am being totally honest, I am a terrible friend.

I got called out this week by my good friend T, for not keeping in contact or generally being a nice human to her since we moved to the States.

I am sure that any one person that is...

It's an incredibly special day tomorrow.  Tomorrow, Saturday 30th September, my little brother D, gets married.

I think I have all the usual feelings, D is in his early twenties (my parents after having 4 kids, had 2 bonus kids in their forties!) and I feel really proud.  I feel like,...
