When things aren't going to plan...

Hi from the beach in beautiful Australia! I’ve always felt so lucky to be Canadian and Australian, and every time I walk an Aussie beach, I know this is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

This week, I thought of a question that’s been amazing and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

Whenever anything happens—good, bad, or in between—ask yourself this:

Such a great question, and it works for every challenge we’re facing.

It’s an instant way to practice gratitude and look for more of what you want.

Just pause, breathe…and ask yourself, “How is this happening FOR me (and not TO me)?”

I hope you have a cosy weekend to rest and recharge. My plan is to search for the good in everything—easy to do in a landscape that’s so beautiful. This enormous banksia tree here at the beach is absolutely beautiful. It just keeps on growing and thriving…there’s a lesson in that.

Happy Sunday!

Love, Catherine x

P.S. The fun stuff!
