Watching closely
Do you feel like you’re being watched sometimes? Its because you are. There are very few places you can go, very few places you can visit where you can remain anonymous if you so choose,…
The gift of experience

Inspiration
What people find inspirational varies considerably. Some people are inspired by others, what they do, their achievements. It’s motivating to know something you want to do has been done by someone in difficult circumstances. Of…
Walking away
No matter what situation we’re in, we always have options. The thing is though, we need to create those options as they won’t always be there [or at least they may not be apparent to…
Special days
Generally speaking when we think of special days we’re talking about birthdays, anniversaries, name days and other personal milestone days on our calendars. There are no shortage of special days to commemorate mothers and fathers…
Open your eyes

Value
There are things that might seem trivial to some but to others these same things are valuable. That value can only be measured by one thing: time. Value is often attributed a monetary amount but…

The pursuit for truth is noble but an untainted truth is almost non-existent. Our pursuit for the real truth is often an exercise in futility. What you find, if you look really hard is usually…
Press here…
Our sense of adventure is endless…that is until we ‘mature’. There’s always a sense that immaturity is a bad thing, a sign of slow development or a consequence of non-conforming to normality. It’s forced upon…
Getting a straight answer
I’m finding that the pool of people you can rely on for getting a straight-up honest answer is shrinking. I’m not exactly sure why but it must have something to do with a lower level…
