So here we go! Another new year has begun according to our Gregorian calendar and it's become a tradition to make resolutions about things we want to change and achieve in the coming year. Do you think we make resolutions because of a certain amount of societal pressure at this time of year or do we make them because we sincerely seek change? I find Continue Reading
The Christmas Season
If you come to know me better, you'll discover that I'm not that fond of Christmas and prefer to stay quiet and away from the madness and chaos. (read on - there's good bits to follow!). I'm not a fan of rampant consumerism at the best of times, let alone during the "silly season". My mind doesn't cope well with the fact that gorgeous trees are cut down Continue Reading
Is Personal Development Really Necessary?

How to Be Happy – Naturally!
Many people require a great number of things and/or substances in order to feel happy but is this real, lasting happiness or just a quick fix?

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!
One of the best ways I know to master your days, weeks, months and years, is to understand how to make decisions. Now that may seem like a really simple thing to do but many people struggle with making decisions, big and small, because they are basically fearful of the outcomes of their choices. They go back and forth in their thinking with "what if I do Continue Reading
Master or Victim?
In my last post I suggested that you may want to note the word VICTIM and there's a good reason for that. Many years ago I attended a weekend workshop titled Master Victim Consciousness. You may assume from the title that it was in the 80's and you'd be right! It was somewhere in the early 80's and I was constantly seeking to understand life and human Continue Reading

Who’s Right Who’s Wrong?
There’s been affair bit of discussion going on in our household lately about achievement and how to go about ensuring aims goals and are reached. My take on it is always – take immediate action and lots of it, while my husband Dale tends to think about things for a fair while, study and accumulate a great deal of knowledge and take action - Continue Reading
