The only reality which really matters to us is the one we create in our heads. How fitting then that we have complete choice to write and re-write our reality. What do I want? Is the most difficult question to answer in the world and yet we need to ask and answer it for ourselves…

Articles I share to help build the life I love to live.

I am kind, fun and intelligent, by design…
by Bradley
And so are you! Everything I see within myself is much easier to see in others. I am special but I am not unique and that is a good thing. When I look at the photo of the dolphin it is obvious that he or she was designed perfectly and that is the same lens…

Conflict is normal, anguish is not…
by Bradley
If into every life a little rain must fall then part of it will be a torrential downpour of conflict. My definition of resolution is: the art of creating harmony from conflict. It is a given that there will be conflict in each relationship between any two people. The surprise, to me, is never that…

Communication is a cornerstone…
by Bradley
The first of my 5 C’s for building and maintaining a healthy relationship is Communication. Communication over distance has been particularly challenging for Pedro and I not to mention his first language is spanish and mine is english. But, as they say, love conquers all and we have worked to ensure good communications. And that…

Aging is not wise…
by Bradley
On the road of life sometimes we think that age will result in wisdom. I do not believe it. Wisdom is not acquired simply because time passes. Perhaps you have heard the saying “old and withered”. This is not necessarily confined to the body, the mind can also play this game…smile. Let me tell you a…

The right thing is not always the easy thing…
by Bradley
Sometimes I have wanted to run away from doing the right thing. You see, in all honesty, I am attracted to a simple, easy life. This is a good thing for me. I enjoy it. But every once in a while I have to do the “right thing” and that is not always the easy…

No man is an island…
by Bradley
How often I have thought I must find the right answer for myself. For some reason the fact that I live at the same time as six billion other people did not seem to mean I could ask one of them…smile. Perhaps you have made the same choice yourself at some time. How happy I…

Love is in the air…
by Bradley
Love is everywhere. I wanted to spend a moment sharing and expressing my love for Pedro. This is the most beautiful example I could find of my husband’s favorite flower. His mother grew orchids when he was a child and they have always been his favorite. To me they have always been a special, unique…

Water, water everywhere and rare a drop to drink…
by Bradley
One of the topics you will see I return to over and over is choice. To me it is one of the underpinnings of how much of our happiness we experience. Today I woke up and unlike over 3 billion people on the revolving ball called Earth I did not have to look for drinkable…

Time waits for no one…
by Bradley
One of my favourite songs from days of yore is by a group called The Alan Parsons Project and the song is called Time (see the music section if you want a link to iTunes). The lyrics profess that “time is flowing like a river”. Now Einstein taught us that in fact we only experience…
