This winter started on a high.

For the first time ever (and definitely not the last time), me + my my power posse headed into the mountains in my first ever brand new spanking car for a 3 day retreat filled with meditation, organic food, laughter + business strategies.  It was bliss. However, the rest of winter was super challenging.  July felt like a write-off as me + my family got wiped off our feet with a virus and then in August my brand new spanking car got stolen.

But life went on.

And here’s what happened…

all things new:

+ At the start of June I joined forces with the owner of Ten Toes Yoga + Natural Health.  With 3 beautiful yoga studios, 20+ yoga teachers and 40+ classes/courses to take care of life suddenly became very full.  There have been a lot of meetings, a lot of strategising, a lot of systemizing and a whole of lot planning as we wrap up 2012 and unleash 2013.

+ In August I created my first Power Posse Mastermind Group.  For the next four months I’ll be working closely with 3 gorgeous women entreprenuers to help them get from A to B in their life + their businesses.  I cannot wait to see what amazingness they bring to life!

+ I have introduced a new monthly segment to my blog called Women to Watch.  I’ll be putting the spotlight on 3-5 awesome women doing awesome things be it in their businesses, in their life or in their communities.

+ My balcony garden.  After living in my apartment for 6 months I finally got my balcony garden happening thanks to my beautiful friend Nicola Chatham.  We caught everything on film as it will be featured in Nicola’s new online course Grow Organic Food in Pots which is coming soon!

+ Enneagram Deep Coaching Certification.  At the end of August I kicked off the very first session of my Deep Coaching Certification program.  For the next 10 months I’m going to be diving deeper into psychology, presence, spirituality and the art of coaching.  This is where my passion + my love lies.

 

all things yoga:

+ I had the pleasure of filming a 10min yoga sequence for the most comprehensive and amazing Lifestyle Transformation Guide (coming out this month!!) created by my friend and Wellness Guru Jessica Ainscough.

+ I led 40 participants through a 40 Day Yoga Challenge (30 days of yoga in 40 days) for Ten Toes Yoga.  This was a great opportunity for me to up my own asana practice and spend more moments connecting to the fullness of my breath and the stillness of my mind.  It was beautiful to witness and read the students transformations in this time too.  Yoga definitely does change everything.

+ I also team-taught at YogaFest, Australia’s largest celebration of Yoga, and soaked in the wisdom of Bryan Kest during his visit to Australia as part of his world yoga tour.

 

all things writing:

+ As a Guest contributor, I have been writing a monthly piece over at the Wellness Warrior talking about all things yoga + happiness.

+ Meanwhile, here at deliriously deep it’s been all about the mid week mantra’s.  These pearls of wisdom get served to your inbox every Wednesday (just be sure your on my mailing list to get your dose).

+ blog post highlights include: Intuition, choices, betrayal + grace with Caroline Myss and Oprah, An ode to my teachers in honour of Guru Day, the three month look back: reflections, celebrations + revelations, and Portia Nelson’s Autobiography in 5 short chapters (can you relate?).

 

all things selfish:

+ Selfish for 27 Days is coming again in October!  The Feature Guest lineup is HOT HOT HOT and it’s filled with even more juiciness!!  To get priority notice be sure you get yourself on the list.

I hope your winter was just what you needed.  

 

Here’s to spring being light + abundant.

Big Love
