    There was an interesting program on @insightsbs la There was an interesting program on @insightsbs last night about Inheritance. 
.
My key takeaways:
.
💌Holding conversations about Inheritance before death WITH your family can save so much heartache after you are gone. 
.
💔Escalating conflict by diving into litigation to contest an estate can cost your family everything.
.
❤️‍🩹Taking on an executorship can take a massive toll on those who choose to take on that responsibility (it is a choice by the way - you don't have to accept such an appointment).
.
💓Having no expectation of an Inheritance brings freedom and breeds self sufficiency and drive.
.
💕Finding unique ways to use a modest Inheritance to honour those from whom it has been received can have a profound impact. 
.
You can watch the full episode on SBS on demand.

If you want to know more about how you can hold conversations with your family about Inheritance in a way that will spare your family heartache - please reach out - it is the very reason I wrote my book "Rest in Peace" (you can order your own copy via the link in my bio 👆)

    How are you with change? 💫 Do you resist it or How are you with change? 💫

Do you resist it or embrace it?🥰

Sometimes when change happens beyond our control we find it harder to accept. If we chose a new path it can be easier. 💕

You don't have to wait for the time to be right - a new beginning starts when you chose it.💥

    While celebrating Craig's birthday this week - he While celebrating Craig's birthday this week - he decided to surprise us - announcing the news that we could get a puppy dog! 🐶
.
Those who know me, know how long the campaign for a dog has been (far longer than the Australian Election Campaign that's for sure)! So I know you will celebrate this win with me! 🥳
.
This has however come as a surprise (even to me) since we truly had lost all hope that Craig would ever change his mind! 😲
.
So now the research on dog type begins! 🐕🦮🐶🐩🐕‍🦺
.
Our thinking is a small-ish dog (one that doesn't need loads of exercise but also won't expect to be carried). Low-sheding fur (is that even a thing?) allergy friendly with a good temperament. 🥰
.
Still tossing up between adopting a dog or buying a puppy from a breeder. Not sure I am ready to embrace another season of sleepless nights and toilet training! 😬
.
So dog-lovers out there - hit me up with your suggestions and tips! 👋
