Those who have been here awhile know I am a HUGE fan of Leonie Dawson and the Shining Academy so when Leonie announced that enrolments for the academy were closing at the end of September  I had to share with you all. The sign ups will open again sometime in 2017

SA2016-ALTAffiliateGraphics2016_FB-copy

Joining the academy about 5 years ago was one of the best things I have done.  The access to the workbooks (I LOVE my life workbook) is worth the cost alone but the access you get to so many courses is AMAZING. Want a sneak peak inside the academy? Check out this video…

I mean how cool is that? And the workbooks… there is a video for both of them too. Would you like to see them? Of course you would. First the Life version…

and the Business version

The Shining Biz & Life Academy is the ultimate, complete + wildly generous program to transform your business, life, creativity and soul! The academy was created by best-selling author, multi-million dollar CEO and finalist for Australian Business Woman of the Year, Leonie Dawson who has dedicated her life to helping other women create their own kind of soul-centered success.

It’s wildly generous & unlike anything else out there on the market! Used by entrepreneurs, artists, mamas, creative types, coaches, teachers and women of all ages, the Shining Academy is filled with over 100 courses to help you create your shining biz and life!

Bonuses galore! As an Academy member, you’ll receive access to the Shining Discount Centre where you’ll receive huge savings ($2,000!) on a range of essential tools and services to help your business bloom. Plus, as an extra special bonus, you’ll snag the complete 2017 Shining Year product collection delivered to your door (valued at up to $150)! That’s both workbooks (life & biz editions), the diary, wall planner and To Do pad.

All at an incredibly generous price.

And there’s access to the Facebook groups which are an amazing support tool all in themselves.

Anywho, enough rambling, go join now. It can only make your life shinier 😉

Creating Your Shining Year – 2016

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

December is nearly upon us and that means it’s time to get your planner into gear for 2016! If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you will know how much of a fan I am of Leonie Dawson’s Shining Biz & Life Academy (formally known as Goddess Guidebook) and the totally wonderful workbooks she brings out each year. 2016 marks my 4th (or is it 5th) year of using the Life workbook & will be the first year I will be using the Biz workbook. You can read my previous posts by clicking on the Shining Year Workbook tag.

AND this year, apart from the workbooks being totally redesigned (& OMG they are GORGEOUS!!) there is a planner *SQUEE*.

Blessed Winter Solstice

Today marks Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the shortest day and longest night. It’s the time to celebrate the return of the Sun’s warmth and light, and the promise once again of a productive Earth. Yule logs are burnt and gifts are given.
I’m celebrating this year with some quiet introspection, enjoying being pregnant and getting ready to bring our little bubba into the world soon. I also thought it would be the perfect time to look back over my 100 things list.
