It’s been a while. Due to everything that’s been going on – from redundancy to starting a new job – there have been no updates since the end of September. I’m not going to be back posting on a daily basis for now, but I am going to be back posting frequently. And definitely more [...]

Let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to stay enthusiastic. Life is pretty non-stop and it leaves us struggling to catch our breath, let alone maintain enthusiasm at all times.
These thoughts were triggered by watching my dog yesterday morning. Every night we take her collar off before bed so that she doesn’t disturb us in [...]

I live in England. I love living in England. But, to be honest, I don’t always love the weather. We don’t get nearly as much as sun as I would like.
That said, this weekend just gone was wonderful. Clear blue skies, gorgeous sunshine. It was fabulous. I feel refreshed, invigorated, and alive.
I was sitting outside eating [...]

Love unexpressed is a pretty useless thing. Gratitude unexpressed is as good as meaningless.
Not only are words without actions not enough, thoughts without words are largely pointless.
Who are the people around you who you love, appreciate, and are genuinely grateful for? Do they know? When did you last tell them? What was the last thing [...]

This site is a work in progress. Not only that, this brand is a work in progress.
I am trying to establish a legitimate and genuine web presence that is inspiring, adds real value, is unique, and is in the best sense of the word, remarkable.
But I know I’m not there yet. I’m learning.
