I was really disappointed in myself. I’ve since made a commitment that I will make a better choice next time. So what was the big deal? Like all of us, sometimes life can feel a bit slow, dreams and goals just aren’t happening fast enough, a little more cash in the bank would be great…
Peace and quiet – it’s a beautiful thing, it calms the mind and the soul. So much of the world around us is consumed by distraction. The need to be constantly attached like an appendage to our mobile devices is crazy. Sadly, I plead guilty in reacting to the “beep beep” that tells me another…
Deb and I have started planning our next change, it will set us on the path in what we want to experience and achieve in our lives. It’s not the first time we’ve arrived at a point where we’ve decided it’s time to start the change process. In our past, for varying reasons – our…
Change is never far away, it’s a constant in our lives. Sometimes change isn’t invited but it rains on our party regardless. You didn’t anticipate it, you didn’t ask for it, you didn’t plan for it! It’s forced upon you. You have to deal with it whether you like it or not. That’s the S—…

I’m not a bad swimmer and can knock out a couple of kilometres in reasonable time. Nothing competitive but swimming is something I’ve been doing for several years, purely for fitness. Swimming’s a great way to exercise. The water’s gentle resistance works most areas of your body and it’s an activity any age can do.…
It’s easy to take everything for granted when everything is just going along day after day, you’re doing your thing. Life goes on unimpeded. Then we get an unexpected reminder – a life moment where we or a loved one has experienced a health issue or has been involved in an accident. The question “What if this is it” takes centre…
Even if you’re not into Golf – Golf does my head in and that’s where the challenge lies for me. It’s not only a game of inches, it’s a mental challenge in maintaining concentration under duress. I’m an expert in the duress aspect of the game. Please read on it gets better ! I’ve recently…
