What’s this blog about, who’s the author & why lemmings?
About This Blog
Welcome to Life, Laughs & Lemmings, a place of craziness, impromptu Flashdance routines and a kick arse community of those living like they mean it.
Life is short and unless you spend your entire time in a coma, wearing bubble wrap and not leaving the safety of your bedroom, it’s generally a roller coaster type experience. If you’re reading this, you aren’t a spybot or a carrot, meaning you are human. Now that we’ve established that, I can assume your time on this planet has consisted of moments of crises (big, small or both) and moments of kick arse (exhilaration, fun, love or whatever kick arse means to you). Join the club.
In my opinion, the keys to going from crisis to kick arse (and the missions for this blog) are;
- Making the best of life’s “lemmings”.
- Not just existing but living like you mean it.
- Dusting off the dreams and bringing them to life (check out my Daisy List).
What you can expect if you hang out with us;
- Laughs, serious fun and moments of inspiration and motivation.
- Being part of, and interacting with a posse of like-minded kick arse crusaders.
- Tips and examples of how to live like you mean it.
- Tips and examples of how to deal with the lemmings in life.
- Stories of those making lemming meringue pie, realizing dreams and making a difference.
- Help to do some arse kicking of your own.
- Chances to help us give back and spread the kick arse goodness.
- Products and resources to help with kicking arse.
So there you have it. If you’d like to be part of the kick arse crusade, we’d love to have you onboard!

The way I see it, when you’re faced with a major lemming (and it’s usually the type of experience that’s about as welcome as a metrosexual at a bikies convention), you have 2 choices; you can get pissed off and stay that way or you can get pissed off and then decide to use the experience to do some arse kickin (of the living like you mean it kind, not the literal kind).
My lemming was the D word (see Life Story Thus Far) but let’s be clear, when we’re talking lemmings, we’re talking any crisis no matter how big or small; From losing your job, a family fallout or a broken heart to breaking your favourite coffee mug, a minor car accident or chipping a nail (and everything in between). In my opinion, any lemming
can be a platform for a kick arse life, or at least some kick arse changes if you choose option 2.
Whilst I did entertain the idea of disenfranchising my ex’s manhood while he slept, the turning point for me in choosing option 2 was my Dad saying to me, “The only revenge is to live well.” Ever since my Dad said those words, that’s what I’ve 
chosen to do – live well, only I’ve changed the saying to, “The only revenge is to kick arse”!
With this in mind, I came up with the idea for this blog. A kick arse life means different things to different people but the mission of this blog is my idea of kick arse. Hopefully you’ll agree.
Check out my life story so far to get the full picture, or just start poking around this blog (but be gentle)!
What’s With The Lemmings?
Why lemmings? Well, why not? Besides, if life gives you a lemming, make a lemming meringue pie!
