This very moment is so precious because it’s the ONLY moment! I know that can sound a tad weird or esoteric, but when you think about it logically, you’ll get it. A minute ago doesn’t exist - it’s gone and a minute from now doesn’t exist yet so all you have is this exact moment. Right here, right now, is all there is so I think you’d agree what we do in Continue Reading

Why Acceptance Eases (or even avoids) Suffering.
My dear brother, who has been a steady, kindly and joyous presence in my life since childhood, sadly passed away last week. (7th Jan 2022).

My Mother, My Best Mentor Ever.
My Mother was born on this day in 1917. I often ponder on what she would have made of the world today, but I already know the answer to my musings. She was strong, focussed and incredibly resilient. She had to be - she had two toddlers who were born just before and during WW11. (I was born ten years later). She had already experienced the death of her Continue Reading

With so much more uncertainty around us than is usual, I've noticed more people feel somewhat compelled to follow news, the media and other sources of current info.

Let Kindness Be Your Guide
There's such a lot being written about kindness these days. Kindness has become the new fashion. But is it just another trendy fad making influencers and the like look cool? I wonder how many of them are actually practicing kindness throughout their day - or just writing about it or posting a cool meme. In these times when everyone has strong opinions Continue Reading
