  Without question, the most important understanding about ‘change’ is that it is a process. It is rarely, if ever, instantaneous. And yes, catastrophic events do occur causing change to be immediate, but most of the changes we experience come in the form of a process – which is on the continuum of slow to fast. You […]

  Small or great doesn’t matter, I love to make discoveries! They are always enlightening and never boring. They can be refinements but a discovery is terrific whether it is a warning regarding what you are doing  or a new understanding! It can be an ‘out of the box’ thinking, it can be a different approach to

  I must admit I get intrigued by trails that veer off from the main road. Many times I ‘try’ them out to see where they lead… at the same time I always keep the main road in sight so that if this new track isn’t what I thought or want I can easily return.

  What baggage are you carrying on your journey? Are you aware of its weight? Light? Heavy? Is it pity? Or, unforgiveness? Maybe it’s an intolerant attitude toward all the mistakes you’ve made? Maybe it’s a deep sadness. But those are only the negative baggage pieces and there are light ones too.  There are memories

  Do you know? Accepting the fact that we are on a journey called Life, where are you on your journey? And no, I’m not talking about your chronological age… I’m talking about your personal age. Are you still in the beginning of your journey – gathering supplies and mapping out your directions? Or perhaps you

  How you go about making decisions is really, really important.

  I suppose you don’t have that problem. Be honest with yourself – we all do. I suspect that Paul might understand what I mean (do the things I don’t want). As a very logical and rational person, I sometimes let my emotions lead me and quite poorly I might add. I have no problem with allowing emotions

  Without question Life is a journey. And equally without question, Life isn’t safe! But it isn’t designed to be. Maybe not in the ‘dangerous’ category but definitely not safe. And though it isn’t necessarily easy either, our attitude determines our view and ‘easy’ like ‘safe’, is always individually defined. We shouldn’t be frightened of living. Life isn’t to

  We face many endings throughout our lives. Sometimes it’s as simple as when a project comes to an end, a relatively ‘insignificant’, non-personal event regardless of your involvement. But if you’re involved then the ending is yours too.  Or maybe it’s something very personal like the unexpected death of a loved one. Maybe it’s a ending that

  Is that what you are facing? A fork that you can now see that was only blurry and far off before. However, now you can see it clearly, you are close to the point where you’ll need to decide which way to go. Actually, now you have a number of options to consider. If you
