A smile is a precursor to a chuckle. A chuckle a precusor to a laugh and a laugh a precursor to absolute total abandonment in mirth. It is scale and if you are not familiar with it then perhaps you need some practice. Did you know that laughter can be used as a form of…
We have many terms to help us describe life. The cycle, the circus, like a stage, like a carousel. I have always enjoyed the visual of the carousel, but not just any carousel, it has to be a very fun ride. I like this particular image because we are flying, which connotes success to me.…
Often we make a choice between heart centred and head centred living. The trick is not choosing between them. The trick is integrating them. Success planning is a concept I created about 7 or 8 years ago. It is a process where I outline my goals in 4 categories. Personal, professional, physical and financial. In…
Sometimes inside we have multiple internal personas and I am not talking about having a disability either. Sometimes they help us but often they hurt us. You have heard the saying “we can be our own worst enemy” and this is what I am talking about today. The oppressor can fall into three archtypes I…

I am so very grateful for the life I have. Surrounded by the love of my husband, my family, my friends and even my colleagues I feel such a sense of peace on most of the days of my life. The peace comes, I believe, from the celebration and gratitude I put out to others.…
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…
I have on one or two occasions in my life had the experience of inappropriately angry people. I have been myself inappropriately angry. Luckily, I noticed. In fact, I only speak of that which I know. I only have wisdom when I have experience. I can only change when I am open, observe and respond.…
