Last week I was talking to Ash, a new acquaintance I met as part of my interest in permaculture. We got talking about the plants and the way nature really does take care of itself to provide for us the best fruit and veg when we let nature do the work. It was a garden, correction,…
Ever caught yourself saying, “I’ll do that later’, or “Maybe next year”? That is exactly what I woke up to the realisation of this morning. I cannot say that I will do something later and in effect place some form of credit in the time bank! It just cannot work. You see, time is a…

Failure is not falling down but refusing to get back up! Chinese Proverb I recently received a message from a friend and the message read fine until the bottom of the last paragraph where it read, “I feel like a failure”. These words ran through my mind and I wondered for a long time why…
Variety is the spice of life. Routine is killing you! It is a fact that when you do something as a matter of routine you cannot take any excitement in life anymore. When you stand in the morning to brush you teeth and you take the toothbrush from it’s same spot, put the toothpaste on the…
