Depression. Arthritis of the Soul
Yesterday as we learned of Robin Williams death, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him or his family. I may not have known Robin Williams or his family personally, but I have met the numerous characters he has played across many television shows and movies. I grew up watching Mork and Mindy, Mrs Doubtfire, and so many other movies Robin Williams was apart of. He was a treasured member of the Disney family. Its hard for me to fathom a man with so much public charisma, feeling so depressed and anxious that his only answer to life is death. As news reports continue to cross our airways about his life…

Wholehearted living for Daughters
I am a mum of three daughters, and I want each one of them to grow up into strong authentic women who are not scared of achieving their dreams, or even striving for them. I want them all to live their lives whole heartedly. I want them to know who they are, what they stand for, what their beliefs are, and what their values are. I want them to know that no matter what happens in life – they are enough. There is nothing they can do or say, that will stop them from being ‘enough’. They are worthy of love and affection. They are worthy of a good and happy life.…

For those who don’t know, the Kardashian’s are a large, very confident and very self assured family who live in America – who happen to have their own reality show called none other than ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians!’ This blog post really isn’t about the Kardashians as such – it is more about finding your inner confidence.

My Top 10 Hints for Simple Living
I recently ‘liked’ a page on facebook called ‘Old Sunshine Coast’ and I have felt very priviledged to have a birds eye view back to the past. I moved to the Sunshine Coast at a time in my life where I was single and completely and utterly responsible for myself. Some might consider those days ‘The good old days’, and I have to admit that I have moments where I miss that girl – but I am quickly reminded of how blessed I am to have the husband I have and the children I have. When I look at those old photos of the coast, I can’t help but think…

Living your Best Life – Nobody has it altogether!
Do you think its possible to ever get to a place where you actually have it altogether? I got a laugh out of this You tube video a friend of mine posted to facebook. It depicts a family walking through the doors of their church – Everyone turns to admire this family, because….’they have it all together’. Little do their church family know how their morning went. I encourage you to watch. http://youtu.be/WdtEYNW2t0Q It’s so easy to think that others have their lives sorted. Its easy to believe that ‘others’ have it altogether, and its easy to feel as though we are the only ones who understand what…

Becoming your Authentic Self
This week I have been giving a lot of thought as to what it actually means to be your ‘Authentic’ self. I have been giving a lot of thought to how I personally represent myself, and I found myself thinking about the concept of branding. If I am a business what are the key characteristics that I would want others to think when they heard my name. Who is this Sarah Keetley and what is she all about? According to the Urban dictionary, the word authentic can be defined as being all real and not about the fake stuff, so it got me thinking about what…

Sometimes you need to do something different in your life to get a new perspective. Sometimes I am one of those people who wants change but I don’t know what to do about it.

The 30 day challenge is all about trying new things – anybody can commit to something different in your life for 30 days. Change doesn’t have to mean changing everything about your life in one month, for lasting change it is better…

This photo is of Hubby and I before we were Hubby and wifey! The year was 2001…the same year as we got married, and we were a couple of months off being engaged.
