Living your Best Life Now
We talk about living our best life now but ignore the now, and treat it as though it is a destination waiting somewhere ahead of us… after the right opportunity arrives, after the body changes, after the money settles, after the grief softens, after we finally become some shinier version of ourselves. But life does…

Bad Reviews Won’t Kill Your Business, But This One Thing Will
This week, Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama, All’s Fair — was slammed by critics, panned by viewers, and memed into oblivion just days after launch. That shared cringe when someone we “know” — even through a screen — stumbles publicly. It’s not the bad reviews that make us uncomfortable. It’s what they reveal we’re afraid…

You can’t open the door with stuff in your hands…
We yearn for something better…our heart knows what we desire…yet we are scared to put down what we know no longer works. We stand in front of the door of “next”…new beginnings…a different way of being…hands full of STUFF! We’re afraid to admit that this load has become too heavy to bear so we feel…

Great Teachers are Great Leaders (I’ve had a few in my life)…
They don’t make teachers like they used to – But then again – I’m no longer in school so what do I know? What I do know for sure is that at Bishop Anstey Junior School there were three teachers that had a significant impact on my life: Mrs Massiah Miss (as far as I…
