Fight or Flight – Part 1
As far as animal instincts go this is one of the most natural reactions to surviving in this world. After my time with the horses, it amazes me how heightened their senses are. Did you know they can detect changes in human respiration and heartbeat from several metres away. It truly is remarkable. They also […]
What’s Your Move?
As we approach the month of November and enter into Diabetes Action month, I felt it was only fitting to engage in the theme for the month. This action month is to bring about a greater awareness of diabetes in New Zealand and the theme is a commitment to movement. 1 million minutes is the […]
Doubling Down
They say if you don’t get it the first time, try and try again. Hmmmmm well although there is a sentiment of not giving up, to me there is a little bit of sign post, when things aren’t working, it’s time to say goodbye. Not always but in some cases. Well that’s been my experience […]
What is diabetes?
A great question, one I must confess I have spent very little time on over the years. For me personally, I didn’t want to dive into research and learnings about all the ins and outs of diabetes. I just didn’t want it. Yet over the years I have come to realise many things about living […]

Looking through the lense of lessons learned, taking what we need while moving forward into a new and exciting future that is exactly as we had […]
Rewritten Truths
Growing up I was gifted a family with a ‘CAN DO’, ‘YES’ and ‘ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE’ philosophy. It is safe to say I have taken full advantage of this. I recall this family approach was often seen as a little ‘uncanny’ and although met with curiosity by many we often got a bit of a […]
Entering into a New Year
Welcoming in 2025 seemed a little different from previous years. I always find it an interesting concept the New Years Celebration. There are many feelings that surface around this time of year and it had me reflecting once again. The fascination of endings and beginnings. Symbolically that is after all what shifting into a new […]
A year of Transformation…
Christmas has come and gone and before we know it the new year is upon us, I find it a nice moment to sit in the reflection of this past year and all that has unfolded. Whether you see time as going fast or slow, whether you’re at the end of the year and thinking […]
