Thursday, October 30, 2014. Letting go of the excess baggage. Life is a series of emotional experiences varied by the effect of our environment, people we meet, family, friends, lovers, partners and the list goes on. These unique experiences play a role in shaping who we were, who we are and who we are about to become. Many of the experiences we collect in life are memorable, treasured and when we recall them fill our hearts with joy and love. We know that we never want to feel this way again. Part of th...

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Women's safety is everyones issue! Like many of you, I woke up to the news on Tuesday the 30th of March that another woman had been killed, her 18 year old daughter injured and her husband in custody. Did you know that as of Jan this year we are losing 2 women a week to domestic violence? Did you know that domestic violence is the key cause of homelessness for women and children? Many of the women killed this year had DOV’s. This year we have Rosie Batty – 2015 Australian o...

Thursday, January 30, 2014. This week I asked a question on my social media outlets - what does the term Corporate Sari. Mean to you. The answers were interesting and it seemed that we all thought within the "box" as such and made the assumption that Corporate Sari was about Asian or Indian women in particular in business. Lets think outside the box a little. However lets understand what the Sari is or what it represents. I have found that In Australia we have another Sari – I call it. Too often we impos...

Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Mr Abbotts post Easter to do list. Alan Jones took Tony Abbott to task on a number of issues recently including ASDA, the potential of a tax on bank deposits and an increase on the GST. Mr Jones was described as being very direct, passionate and somewhat furious during the interview. Domestic violence is at crisis point. How many more women need to be killed before we see leadership and action at a National level from our Governments. Sack yourself as Minister for Women. You app...

I want to say that I was surprised at the negative comments made on my last blog, sadly your feedback is an indictment of how often people in our industry get service delivery wrong. The business that focus's on client experiences will win their business. So where am I in my leasing cycle. However here are some insights I would like to share with you:. 3 Provide accurate description of the homes, if the third bedroom is too small to use as a bedroom then e...

Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Walk a mile in their shoes 2014. After a successful launch of the 2013 Harcourts Victoria Walk a mile in their shoes, we are putting on our heels again on the 9. Of May raise awareness of the issue of violence against women. I have seen first-hand the impact on violence on partners, families, children and friends. They never get over it, the sadness and emptiness is profound and heart breaking. At least one woman is killed in Australia every week by a current or former partner.

Smiles's Blog: Repeal of carbon tax is PMs key achievement. - really Mr Abbott where would women be without you!!
http://ssmilesblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/repeal-of-carbon-tax-is-pms-key.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Repeal of carbon tax is PMs key achievement. - really Mr Abbott where would women be without you! Really Mr Prime Minister. Naming the carbon tax as your biggest achievement for women in 2014 because you think we are so focused on the household budget shows how out of touch you are. The two issues, carbon tax and achievement for women, are so far apart Mr Abbott that you could sail the Titanic through it. One woman a week dies in Australia killed by a partner. Domestic viol...

Monday, May 12, 2014. There has been much discussion on Tony Abbots recent announcement to reduce the paid parental leave threshold down to earnings of $100k or less. This scheme is designed to encourage women in the work place who have had or are having babies back into the work place post maternal leave. The levy is to be partly funded by a 1.5% levy on large companies who I have no doubt will pass this onto their consumers so in fact in some way we all end up paying for the PPL leave scheme. There is ...

Smiles's Blog: Rent Me? Day one
http://ssmilesblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/rent-me-day-one.html
Thursday, May 21, 2015. I have decided to start this ongoing blog to share with you my experiences as a prospective tenant. I believe that one of the best ways to improve process and service is to be a client of your business or industry. So lets see how the leasing system works for me. My kids and I have created a lovely home here, the location is perfect and we can afford the rent. We are emotionally tied into this property even though we rent. My emotional stress levels kicked into top gear and panic ...

Friday, February 27, 2015. International Women’s Day 2015 - #Makeithappen. March 8th we celebrate International Women's Day. A day that is now set aside globally to celebrate the. Economic, political and social achievements of women, past and present. This day is about our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, friends and girlfriends. 20 years ago women who celebrated this day perhaps had a very different vision or hope in mind as to where we would be on this issue of equality. As we near closer to the 8.
