Take 9 Lives

‘take 9 lives, at least…’ is an independent project that promotes personal responsibility and holistic well-being. It encourages individuals – as early in life as they are able, to reflect on their past, adopt healthy lifestyle choices,  and challenges stereotypes about generational differences, advocating for a more interconnected and supportive society.

Hello and welcome!

‘Take 9 lives, at least…’ is about making the very best of life – no matter what. Making the best of your own life and also being willing to share your own life journey – the good, the bad and the awful, for the possible benefit of others. We are always stronger together.

Wondering where this all began? You can see how this crazy journey started by reading Myni’s story. Then jump into the Life stories of the 8 others who agreed to join her, honestly audit their lives and reflect on those very different lives lived.

And as Myni’s new found resolutions started to fail and slide backwards – rather than sigh, accept and revert, she brought in reinforcements, which arrived in the shape of health professional Glynis Johnson and her Cornerstone philosophy. And so the 4 purrfect foundations for living well came into being. Thinking about what you eat, whether you exercise, how well you sleep and the infinite aspects of mental health is not rocket science – but it is a kind of back to basics ABC (in the face of the blinding science – and the rest, all around befuddling us), that might just make a good starting point for those small steps. And so we asked our 9 lifers to honestly review their own positions when it comes to the 4 purrfect foundations for living well.

So, now, it’s your turn to see what you can do to improve the 4 key areas of your life. Join us, get involved – dust off your personal responsibility, put it to good use for yourself – and for others too,

Look forward to hearing from you,

Myni and Bob
