What do you do when life presents you with an opportunity that seems too good to be true? Do you run away as fast as you can, convinced it must be some kind of scam? Or, do you seize it with both hands and run with it to where ever it may take you? I…

Lately I’ve been becoming more and more aware of the intricate way we’re all connected to each other. The ‘6 degrees of separation’ theory says that, through the network of the people we know and the people they know etc, none of us is more than 6 steps away from knowing everybody else. But, when…

I was just having an ongoing discussion about compassion and how we process what we experience.. someone made a very good distinction and reminder, about the importance in differentiating between the person, and the action.. that is ALWAYS a huge factor.. because we may be the sum of our actions.. but we are not every…

I wonder if silence actually exists? Even as I sit here in silence I can hear the hum of the computer, my fingers on the keyboard, the breeze singing through my wind chime, a dog somewhere in the distance… If I was under the sea, I would hear the sound of my own breathing. In…

It really doesn’t matter how or where or when you’re born; or how, or where or when you die. All that counts is what you do with the time in between the moment you gasp your first breath and the moment you release your last. Once we get through childhood, most of us go through…

I have just listened to the BBC 5 Live radio phone-in regarding the issue around taking your children into work. This has been raised after Scottish MP Kirsty Blackman took her children to a Westminster committee hearing, apparently unable to find appropriate childcare at short notice during the Scottish summer holidays, which start earlier than…

There’s an old song that goes ‘if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.’ While that may not be the best relationship advice, it works really well for other aspects of life. For instance, ‘if you’re not in the job you love, love the job you’re in.’ Or, ‘if…

Imagine how mind-numbingly boring it would be if life was perfect and you never felt stressed or sick or angry or cold or wet or miserable. Imagine if all day, every day, everybody was smiling and happy and content and serene. On the one hand, we all think we want life to be perfect and…

Internationally renowned author and speaker, Dr Wayne Dyer said ‘Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.’ This simple definition implies that abundance requires very little effort! The words ‘hard’ or ‘work’ or ‘struggle’ or even ‘reward’ are not even hinted at! Can it really be that easy? Is it possible…
