Here’s a lovely story on dealing with obstacles. Two students were asked to meet their teacher at the start of a track through the forest. He gave them instructions to follow the path to its conclusion, in preparation for a test later in the week. The path had two sides, one side was clear andContinue reading “Taking the Leap”

Fill the Gap
When I read this post, I was taken back to my younger days. My dad passed away when I was three and growing up with a single working parent isn’t all that easy. There are so so many people who went out of their way to “fill the gap”, who were there for us. FamilyContinue reading “Fill the Gap”

Wonder, Bread
Seeing beauty in things we consider beautiful is easy. Enjoying a sunset, relishing the mountain-top view, soaking in the calm ocean, finding peace in a still river, dancing in the rain…the list goes on!

24-Hour reset button
They say nature is the best teacher. Each morning we wake up to the rising sun and at dusk the sun sets. This happens every day, without fail. No matter what we’ve accomplished today, no matter how low we feel, the next day is a new beginning, a fresh start. If our efforts at doingContinue reading “24-Hour reset button”
