Together with attention, Focus requires that we also have interest and activity in what we are doing to succeed. To have an interest in something according…

Focus for Success

Focus for Success

Focus in writing is what every writer needs to do. Focus on getting words on paper. Focus for success in whatever you do, is setting those goals and achieving them. This lesson has been a  hard one to learn! It’s “Focus for Success”, Dummy! This has been the phrase that has been swimming around my head…

Turning your phone off and be curious again, latent lifestyle

Why Turning Your Phone off will Make you Curious Again!

Start Turning Your Phone Off! When I was thinking about the post title I was wondering how I could convey the importance of our time!

Oh Why?

A short rhyme while out in the garden. Oh why Oh why, butterfly do you fly like a butterfly Flitting from here like a bouncy ball to over there breaking your fall With each flap of the wings you ascend to the sky yet with certainty, descend to earth with a dive Oh why Oh…
