The way to a brighter future for our communities, country, world is through our young people 👨‍👧 Here we have Tori who completed her 12 week Happy, Healthy Living Leadership Program with us last week sponsored by the amazing team of salty legends from @theboardmeetingsurfcharity 👩🏼‍🎓 This young lady has grown so much and I’m truly privileged to be able to share some time with her and her family 🙏🏼 We try to make each one on one program special for each participant and our final session had Tori plant her first bonsai. Through looking after her tree she may learn concepts of patience/consistency/observation/grounding that Mother Nature teaches so well 🌲 The beauty of the HHLLP is that we can affect real change through inspired experiences and can plant seeds of thought/behaviour/contemplation whilst we’re physically active creating lots of endorphins and positive behavioural patterns 🏃🏼‍♀️ If you have or know of a young person on the Sunshine Coast who may need a little extra help along in life please get in contact. Our young people are our future so let equip them with resilient bodies and minds 💪🏼 • • • • • • • • • (at Sunshine Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsD5RhBFPy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gnsqsvzgxeml

Be more like your dog 🐶 • • From the poem, Have you earned your tomorrow by Edgar guest. ‘Is anybody happier because you passed his way..? • • This sums up how dogs make me feel. Such furry little balls of love 😊 (at Sunshine Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7EFjhBvKP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1duw8aus1rzam

This is one inspirational lady who had a resolve of steel and was 💯% grateful for every breath • • Sue passed on to her next chapter last Sunday and I couldn’t think of a more down to earth, funny and rock solid woman to post about on International Woman’s Day • • Sue had faced the reaper (probably knew him by first name) but had always been able to fight back. • • Sue had been through the wringer but I don’t recall ever hearing her complain about life (maybe about politicians but she’s only human 😜) and she had a plateful compared to most people I know • • There’s something so inspiring and grounding when you spend time with someone who knows the true value of each day. • • Sue also had a great whit and was always joking (much like my Aunty Rallie who shared a similarity with sue re. Kidney failure and fighting to the end) • • I am forever grateful to have been able to spend time with you and our spirit has definitely permeated my own resolve in life • • Here’s to you Sue and women everywhere. May others find your sense of humility, integrity, authenticity and service. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuWvmghQH8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11r5asmx69ys6

Note to self: put more time aside to disconnect to reconnect • • I definitely haven’t been making enough time in my life for Sandy escapes • • A weekend up the beach feels like a whole week away for the body and mind • • Well at least I don’t have to be washing all the sand off from under the car 😂😂 (at Eli Creek Fraser Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buf2EkOBVe2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aru7byim2gup

The power of the collective • • This morning the early morning Semi Private PT crew collectively looked at where they are and where they want to be • • This process can be so valuable. People get clarity on the simple processes necessary to achieve their results. Not only that the individual starts to realise how much they already know. They get to share their own experiences with each other. Help each other and empower themselves through the collective energy • • Training doesn’t always have to be flogging your body into submission (at Emjays Birtinya) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZqxoDBerM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xpzp4wvegs5w

Timing is everything ☯️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXD24QBwVs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pyijs3lng3y

Does anyone else tend to read more than one book at a time...? • • I have a tendency to read the book I want when I want which leads me to having just a few in the go 😬 • • It’s time to get more focused and finish one before I start the other (at Sunshine Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuTBhJeBpAk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k9lg4wkroedm

Just like ripples across a still pond, thoughts/experiences/emotions distort the capacity for true reflection of the mind. • • Just like a pond, the surface isn’t always still. The storm comes and goes disturbing he surface of the pond only momentarily. • • You also have the capacity to allow your personal storms to come and go • • Just like you can’t stop a Cyclone, you can’t stop the disturbances in your life • • All you can do is do the preparation when the weather is fine. Build strong foundations and solid systems so when the cyclone hits you are well prepared to accept its brunt and ride it out... • • Until the surface is again clear 🙏🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuChERehtHp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fbfkzs99ffkx

When you give without the intent of receiving you end up receiving more than you could imagine • • • A few years ago we started an older adults group (the Jolly Gerries 😜) based on the premise it’s never too late to get the body moving • • • The unique part of this group is that I donate my time free of charge and the Jolly G’s just donate whatever they feel necessary/feasible/affordable • • • We chose the QIMRB (Queensland Institute of Medical Research Berghoffer) as the beneficiary of the donations from the group and have been blown away with how much this relationship has given us in return • • • The QIMRB is one of the Charities that we donate too that 100% of the funds goes directly into research. Not only that there are some amazing people with huge hearts behind the research. (at Jetts Kawana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4IalcBcgV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3iwnq7nmox2j
