Inspiring Views


There is a beautiful oak tree right outside my office window - and that itself is a blessing. When I began working here the blinds were always down and it wasn’t until the days began to get shorter that I began opening them up to let more light in. That’s when I realised I could [...]

The Energy of Vacations


Have you ever visited a different city or town and loved it so much you decided to go back again to recapture that memory — only to be disappointed? More often than not return visits are disappointing because each time is a totally different experience.

Living your Bliss Responsibly


I often work long hours. I have deadlines to meet so it is understandable but the real concern is identifying with working more than any other thing, in other words, it becomes habitual and addictive, because I enjoy what I do.
