Everyday Breakthroughs

When we think about having a breakthrough, we usually think about it as being a major event. Somehow we expect it to be a major ‘eureka’ moment with much fanfare and applause. However, I believe that you have breakthroughs every day, but they often go unnoticed or unacknowledged because you may not think of them [...]

Surroundings

In life, everything we surround ourselves with either adds to our quality of life, or detracts from it. The things that add to our quality of life are wonderful treasures, the things that make our hearts sing. The things that detract from our quality of life are clutter.

What’s Your Relationship Becoming?

Just like the two people in it, a relationship is a organic, dynamic, evolving “thing”. A Relationship will take on a life of it’s own – given half a chance! It needs two people to even exist, and it needs attention for it to grow. So what is your relationship becoming? How is it growing? [...]

The latter are characterised by selfishness, disrespect and rage and many [...]

Dreaming of Sugar Plum Fairies

Last night as I prepared dinner for my horde, I pulled out my special Christmas recipes and started prepping for the mini Christmas cakes I first made before my eldest son was even a glimmer in his daddy’s eye. The recipe, on a page torn from a magazine, was dated 1988. As I measured fruit [...]
