Have you ever been fired up and nodding your head to inspirational quotes and messages that tell you to 'never wait', 'seize the moment', 'the right time is today', yeah those ones, me too. And I Tweet them, slap on Facebook, loving them on Pinterest like it's my full-time job, and I slap a few together every now and then in case the world runs short.  Or have you spent time in the company of others who have said to you that 'this would be a great next step for you', 'you're so ready', … [Read more...]

I'm craving a l-o-n-g walk, I'm due a brain-clearing. I'd like a minimum 7 days, 150 miles. Looking at the South West Coast Path or the Pennine Way, both a tad longer. I was never a long distance walker until one day I just went for a walk. I long for the silence, to be disconnected and yet fully connected. I need to light an outdoor fire, sit by it and watch day become night, I need to sleep under canvas, sip wine and just hang out with my mate Ms Nature for a while. I need to feel … [Read more...]

I remember Indoor Games PE classes at Primary School, we'd all stand in line leaning against the wall bars waiting to be chosen after two class mates were given the task by our teacher to be team leaders. She would flick a coin in the air and shout, 'Heads or Tails? Tails chooses first' to decide which team leader got first dibs at picking. If you were popular that week, you got chosen first If you were good at games, you got chosen second. If you had friends in the team, you got … [Read more...]

A few years back, I was signing a group of 20 people in for their first fire-walk, and my first as the Instructor and person lighting the 15ft beastie. Now, they knew it was my first, and yet here they were giving me their implicit trust for their safety and tootsies. Friends! Love them.  What they didn't know (but do now) is I was freaking inside that night. In fact, I had been for two weeks in the run up. I had the sweats and I wanted to throw up every time I thought about it. I … [Read more...]

Maybe you know someone who has no fear but I can't think of any solo business owner who hasn't got some resistance somewhere when it comes to their business: Asking for payment + being paid. Putting themselves out there Hitting send and publish Speaking about prices Networking The two that will ensure don't have a business for very long is speaking about prices and asking for payment of services, or in short ... selling. For many they would rather run-away to hills and hang out … [Read more...]

So Monday came around last week and on the write it down and hope to have least done a couple of things by the end of the day list was the Living Moxie Not-Really-A-Newsletter thang. I sat for two hours and had nothing, brain freeze. I started the odd paragraph. And then deleted. Started. Deleted. Started. Deleted. Then I did come up with something and the cat walked across the keyboard, the computer got all pissed and shut down. So then I had a JOYFEAR moment, what would happen if I … [Read more...]

Isn't it funny how as soon as mainstream media start printing, sharing and talking about a subject the majority of the population sit up and listen? The other day the Mail Online (UK newspaper) printed an article telling us that margarine was bad for us and butter is better. No way. Really. This is news. The article states 'For the past 50 years, we have been advised to reduce our intake of saturated animal fats, and eat more of the polyunsaturated vegetable fats found in margarine.' … [Read more...]

Ann "I take the time to see everything now that I didn't before. Just the beauty, the trees turning, the birds nature, my son smile, how beautiful he is ... I just take a lot of time to notice those things ... and that is the trick ... to living this moment ... most people live with blinders on and they are so caught up in the little things ... that distract you from what really matters ... all that stuff is washed away, and you see what really counts ... and that's the people you … [Read more...]
