Lessons from a 2yo
We are utterly amazing creatures us human-beans with what we focus on. Here is a great example that’s got me thinking this week: Sunny day (in itself that is not so exciting, except when it’s the first really sunny day in many weeks). Gorgeous beach.

Are you begging?
I have been observing a beggar across the street from my office window for about 15mins now. He’s a bit of a regular at this particular street corner and with some wondering I am guessing he scoped that place because there is a busy ATM, a large post box and a bookstore window where people […]
Influential people in my life
Grab a bit of paper and a pen and get ready to play. Come on, it’s going to take you 2 minutes. You are in the middle of a circle. A circle of influence. Around you are 6 spokes. At the end of each spoke is another circle. With someone who is a direct influence […]

My latest ride is something else. The first time I drove it out the driveway it turned the lights and fog thingies on all by itself, it whipped the windscreen wipers on at the first sign of a bit of rain (scaring the begeezus out of me in the process as I was wondering what […]
Relationship perspectives
Did the earth move for you too last week? For those of you not in Victoria, we experienced an earthquake on Tuesday night, in Melbourne! It was sizable for us novice earthquakers (5.3 on the richter scale) & lasted around a minute. But what was of note for me was witnessing how we all really […]
