Living Savvy: gratitude, a summer hiatus and looking ahead

It's so easy (too easy in fact) to get caught up in the everyday stresses of work and family and life. When our focus is always on the 'next thing', we often forget to savour what we have and recognise what we've already achieved. As someone who loves chasing new ideas and opportunities, and who always wants to perform at my best, this can be a big problem for me. I make a conscious effort to regularly stop, acknowledge and celebrate – whether that's at the end of the week (check out the Champagne Friday series) or at the end of a year. So, in these closing weeks of 2009, I'm taking a moment to reflect on the Living Savvy project so far and share with you what I'm most grateful for.

Highlights of Living Savvy 2009

Online TV Program

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Sofie Formica and the Living Savvy production team to bring to the screen the stories of our real women living savvy – Cat, Vicky, Jane and Janine. Each of these ladies have been incredibly candid in telling their stories as they work with the Living Savvy life coaches to fine tune their lives. If you haven't already, you should check out the videos with Cat, Vicky, Jane and Janine now.

Launch celebration

Our official launch on 16th September 2009, at the Limes Hotel in Brisbane, really captured the essence of Living Savvy – people connecting, being inspired, and thinking more deeply about what they want to create in their life.

Website

Following the launch, the website has really continued those Living Savvy themes of finding connection, inspiration and self awareness. It's been wonderful to start building this community, to share my thoughts on living savvy and to hear your voice too. We've talked about taking time out, making the mundane fun and asking big questions.

More for you in 2010

Most importantly, we want to keep sharing and keep connecting in 2010. For the start of the year, following your feedback, we're going to simplify the Living Savvy website to make it even easier to stay in touch with what's happening. I'm going to be posting more thoughts, stories from our readers and feature writers, helpful how-tos and of course inviting you to join in on our weekly Champagne Friday.

We'll also be releasing brand new videos as Cat, Vicky, Jane and Janine continue on their living savvy journey. Until then, we're taking a much needed summer holiday, to relax and recharge, and return to you in early 2010 with new energy. I hope you have an equally rejuvenating break and look forward to catching up next year!
