When Giving Isn’t
Well here we are again ... the end of another year and the festive season is upon us - a time of peace and joy and giving ... Or is it? Giving is a choice ... a choice to freely give means to let go and expect nothing in return ... and that is the sticking point...
Feeling Stressed?
Much has been written about stress - what it is, indicators, why it occurs, how to manage it, etc - and when I started researching the many and varied definitions of stress I got 580,000,000 hits on my initial google search! Talk about stressful ... ! Yet with all the...
Enough Already!
This month I find myself sufficiently aroused and suitably fed-up to speak out and speak up so please stay with me as it’s a bit longer than the usual offering. As taxpayers, our leaders and politicians at all levels are employed by me and by you... in fact all of us...
