“I want women to know that it’s so important to speak your truth and stand up for yourself and your dreams and your passions and goals.” – River Savante
Recently I heard the story of 16-year-old mountaineer and adventurer, River Savante, on The Power of Stories Podcast and I was so inspired by her story that I had to share it. Listen to River on The Power of Stories podcast episode below:
“Gratitude is the antidote to fear. And a gateway practice into prosperity.” – Robin Sharma, The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life
Yesterday I finished reading The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life by Robin Sharma and by the last page I wanted to cry because I felt like I was saying goodbye to a friend who reminded that I was already wealthy in many ways (I was already doing most of the things mentioned in the book i just doing most of the things mentioned in the book I just didn’t know they were habits of wealth the world told me the were habits of the naive but apparently not). Below I’ve listed some of my favorite lessons from The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life by Robin Sharma:
11 Lessons from The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life by Robin Sharma
1. When you’re with people treat it like the last time you might see them (because it just might be life is fragile)
2.Your life reflects you – in other words, your other life is a reflection of the inner work you’ve done on your mind, heart, health and spirit
3.BE GRATEFUL – send thank you notes and gifts in abundance
4. Be kind and generous
5. Be humble – even the old tree bows as it ages. Are you prouder than a 150 year old tree?
6. Put your last days first – fast forward to your deathbed think about what contribution you would like to make then rewind to present day and do – I wrote my future obituary years ago and it helps me to remember how to live
7. Be a perfect moment creator – make breakfast with family, watch the sunset, eat great food.. anything just create moments intentionally
8. A great work ethic without a great rest ethic is not sustainable – doing something is not better than doing something they are just two different things
9. Bless your money as you send it out and ask it to come to you a hundred fold
10. Self-worth increases net worth
11. The one who reads most wins
Birthdays are a chance to look back and forward at the same time.

Never be afraid to be a beginner at something
A few weeks ago, I was HONOURED to be a guest on The Power of Stories Podcast I was excited to be on the podcast because firstly I’ve long been a fan of The Power of Stories Podcast and secondly because I’d never done a podcast before and I’m always excited to try new things. A huge thank you to Sharon and Yodit for making me feel so comfortable before, during and after the interview.
Listen to the episode below:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Today Christians enter the 40-day Lenten period and while it’s traditional to give up foods and vices during Lent today I woke up and prayed that God make me pure of heart and I committed to intentionally practicing The Fruits of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . I know I won’t be perfect in the next 40 days but I will be trying.
Pray for me always ☦️☦️☦️
“Time is the most valuable thing that a man can spend.” — Diogenes
On January 20th 2018 I entered the Breath of Life house to drop of diapers and I sort of forgot to leave – 6 years and lots of babies later a lot has changed but my love for and commitment to the babies in that nursery is stronger than ever.
Thank you to Michelle Rielly who first welcomed me into the Breath of Life house, loved me and believed in me with me, thank you to Abigail Boshoff who continues to make me feel welcome in the Breath of Life house and thank you to our team of baby caregivers, staff and volunteers who love and look after our babies
