24.01.2022 A big thank you to everyone who has supported Swish Design over its entire 13-year existence, especially this year. It's been humbling to reflect on where the business started, where it got to, and how it served not just our customers, but also my family. Here is a little update regarding a big decision I had to make recently x

20.01.2022 Hello there. Long time no speak, I know. If you'd like a little update from me, I posted one on Insta yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/p/B33doSPHxBT/ Today, however, I'm coming to you with a book research question I'm hoping you can help with. And that question is ... Do you ever find yourself thinking/saying: 'I wish my child was more resilient?' ... As in, do you use the word 'resilient'? Or do you use another word/phrase? If another word/phrase, what you do use? Thanks so much :)

19.01.2022 This is all very ‘PSA’ which makes me cringe at myself a little, but pictures I’m seeing from all over the country suggest many people out there are taking a very ‘she’ll be right’ approach to what’s going on at the moment. And that approach is going to see us in a world of hurt in two weeks’ time. So ... As we all know, COVID-19 is here in Australia, our curve needs flattening and our government is doing the best they can to do that without shutting the whole country down (s...ince that will completely smash our economy). What we have in our favour (especially those of us lucky to live in WA where the curve hasn’t gone exponential yet) is the fact that there are many countries and regions who are several weeks ahead of us on this journey. We have the privilege of being able to learn from their experiences, so let’s make good use of that! There are four simple and practical things we can all do to flatten the curve and save lives while also protecting as many businesses as we can during these uncertain times: 1. Stay at home if you are unwell in any way. Keep your kids home if they are unwell. 2. Practice social distancing by - at the very least - staying the heck away from non-essential public gatherings (looking at you Bondi). But even better ... *Consider staying home as much as possible even if you are well. Consider staying home as much as possible even if you are well. Consider staying home as much as possible even if you are well.* 3. If/when you do go out in public imagine you have COVID-19. What would you do to reduce the chances of spreading it? You’d keep your distance from other people. You wouldn’t kiss them or shake their hands. You’d wash your hands every opportunity you get and resist the urge to touch anything you absolutely don’t have to. 4. Many, many businesses, big and small, are at risk of going under at the moment. If you have secure income and the ability to spend money (in a socially responsible way) right now, please do so. If you can absorb the cost of the event you’ve not been able to go to or the service you couldn’t use because it was cancelled, please absorb it. Many restaurants are closing due to the indoor social distancing practices imposed on them but have the ability to deliver food still. Many retailers have online stores and are still delivering to homes. In short, if you have the ability to keep spending money - spend it. There are, of course, many other things we could all be doing to help each other and protect those in our community who are most at risk from a health and economic point of view. But if we *all* just started with the above, that would go a long way to ensuring our health services don’t get overwhelmed and that our country is in as good shape as is possible at the end of all this.

17.01.2022 Got some lovely feedback about this on Insta so thought I’d share it here. It’s from a collab I’m doing with a dear friend - her illustrations/my words (@kel_nat on Insta) === There are times in life when you will be forced to confront your own mortality. You might read about a terrible tragedy in the paper. You might lose someone you love. You might be facing a terminal illness.... All these things can trigger an existential crisis: Why am I here? What’s the point of life? Will anyone remember me when I’m gone? What will my legacy be? A good antidote to an existential crisis is to be intentional about the ripples you’re creating in the world. And the best kind of ripple is kindness. Complimenting a friend. Listening to your child tell a story. Giving a workmate the benefit of doubt. Forgiving someone who hurt you. Making your partner a cup of tea. All these things create new ripples of kindness because the person who received kindness from you now has a tiny bit more energy to extend kindness of their own to someone else. Thus creating a beautiful ripple effect that ensures if you leave this world, you’ll definitely be leaving it better than you found it.

13.01.2022 From the archives - something for all the people who’ve chosen ‘intentional’ as their word for 2019

05.01.2022 It’s 28 days since I lost my best friend and soulmate and the question I’m answering the most at the moment is, ‘How are you?’. Which is totally the appropriate question for people to be asking. It would be weird if they pretended nothing had happened! But I’m starting to feel like a broken record (as I’m saying the same things over and over). Also, I deeply crave conversations that are not about me at the moment. I very much want to hear about the mundanities and everydayness of other people’s lives. So, given I have this platform that allows me to reach a large number of the people who care about me, I thought I’d offer an update. One that answers all the main questions and concerns everyone has and will hopefully allow people to start feeling comfortable telling me what’s going on in their lives again.

04.01.2022 So very proud of, excited for, and grateful to my lovely client Claire Eaton. I was right in the middle of editing her book when Ant died. She delayed her book launch so I could have all the time and space I needed to be able to continue with the job and do it at the standard I aspire to. And it’s just a really fantastic book - full of amazing tips and practical actions for teenagers looking to boost their resilience, optimism and confidence. ... I’ve read pretty much everything there is to read in the self-help space and yet Claire was able to to introduce me to the concept of above-the-line and below-the-line - something that’s helped myself and kids greatly over the past few months. Congrats Claire xx If you want to find out more about ROC and Rise, head to https://claireeaton.com.au/book

01.01.2022 Six years ago, on Ant’s birthday, I wrote a post about him that went low-key viral. Because he loved me writing about him, it was the best present I ever gave him. Today would have been his 42nd birthday. And of course, the best present I could give him would be to write about him again. Which I’ve done below. I was aiming to share a core belief of his I think could be useful to pretty much anyone, in pretty much any challenging situation big or small....Continue reading
