An adventurous woman who in 1959 drove around regional Queensland with a portable pool teaching people to swim. She's recently dived out of a plane and back into the pool for the Australian Swimming Masters Games. There are many pathways to wellbeing.

I saw this book in the Laugh and Learn toy shop in Randwick Sydney last week and love it. The book perfectly describes my feelings in developing IdeaSpies.
"What do you do with an idea? Especially when it’s different or daring or just a little wild.
This is a story for anyone, at any age, who’s ever had an idea that seemed a little too big, too odd, too difficult”.
The message is clear-welcome and nurture ideas with patience and persistence, no matter how big or small, no matter how unique or popular, and they may grow to change the world.
I'm currently working through the Positive Intelligence coaching program. Today we are asked to consider how we let go of the 'controller' that resides within us. And to bring forth the qualities that can allow us to 'surf' the ups and downs, difficulties, challenges, disappointments, frustrations, fears that can get in the way of appreciating all that we have. What are the gifts and opportunities that arrive when we let go and ride the waves that are actually there? Enjoy the Surfing Bunnies collage image I created for the Year of the Water Rabbit.
