I blog, randomly about the things I observe and the things I learn.
There is a blog around my new learning adventure on my yacht, called Wright Away, or find a category and explore.

Read Me In Case of Extreme Dread
Not perhaps a corporaty post… but I am quite curious how this connects. Speaks to a good part of my experience….. and yes, this is one of the assignments from Martha Becks’s Writing Into Light course. My theory here is that we have forgotten that companies are made up of people and until we do th culture will stay stuck! No! Being late for a meeting because of (insert traffic, over sleep, sick child, dentist, here) doesn’t count. It needs to be extreme dread. Think standing in front of your boss and his boss and a bunch of other really powerful, [...]
What my house taught me about life
The excercise Martha Beck gave us was to find the place in our home that we hated, and then explore that (that is the nutshell version). To my amazement my passage turned out to hold a key for me in my personal journey. I can’t help wondering who else hates the in between bits, the ones that don’t seem to make sense, where you dint quite fit because who you were no longer works and you haven’t built who you need to be ? Oi, Verna !” I barely hear the whisper as I move from room to room. I [...]
Finding my Path, Finding my Shine
This came from an Inhale, Exhale writing excercise (Martha Beck, Write Into Light) and was where I ended up after writing what came up when I asked the question, “The truth I have never told”. It started with the sentence, I don’t exist! I can’t help wondering who else may be living with that sentence and wondering how to create proof of life. The roles I accept matter! When I started diving, the role I accepted was supporter, & team member. I didn’t disrupt the deep diver. I fitted in. Then I decided to want to be deepest which was [...]

Finding my Worth – Why a world record is worthless
I have a confession to make. One that doesn't come easily. or make much sense to many people. One that has taken my entire life time to face. I have low self-esteem! It sounds impossible right ? I have a world record ? That takes courage, that takes stepping out [...]
Why You Need to Ask More Questions
I have known for a while that the key to my sanity and growth lies in the questions I ask myself. I have two, "what do I want ? " (often how do I want to feel when I can't answer that one) and "what will it take ?" I [...]
Things I Wish I had Known Ten Years Ago (or is it 15 ?)
I have to be kind to myself before I can be kind to anyone else. The alternative on this one is - how I speak to myself and what I expect from myself is how I treat others. Scary thought if you think about it...and observe the people around you more [...]

Living with Dare – Questions for Creation
Living with Dare is something that has evolved over the last decade. I realised that I wasn’t happy with who I was or the life I was living. It looked good, but it didn’t seem to fit! I had a world record but couldn’t seem to take that limit shattering [...]
What if Thoughts were Choices too ?
Yes, thoughts just appear – but what if that sudden, automatic appearance is just a habit ? Something you created without knowing because you never knew you had a choice ? What if you can choose thoughts ? What if all that took is an awareness that what you think [...]
Fighting Fear – To Win!
My closest friend is going for an op. It isn’t a biggie, in fact it is something she wanted to do, just not now. With the suddenness came the fear. So there she sits, waiting until op day battling to manage her ‘silly’ fear. It struck a cord with me. [...]
