Good Friends Last

Recently I came across two episodes that highlighted both the reality of change and the value of things enduring. A major reason why I started blogging almost 10 years ago was because of my best friend at university. Funnily enough it’s almost 20 years ago since I first met him. I found out that he […]

Reflect On It

I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. In my distaste I turned away from it and blamed everyone and everything else for what I saw. I looked again and blamed myself bitterly for being the architect of this ugliness. In it all it never occurred to me to question the perspective from which […]

Just Some Musing

Sometimes the best thing to do is to step down. Not just from some things but from everything. Can’t afford to let someone sack you. Far better to do what’s best for business and take some time out and then come again. Use the time off to recalibrate and go off radar. See things from […]

Coping With Disappointment

Heads up. This is not the deep, meaningful blog entry you might be looking for from the title. Today I had planned to attend a concert at a church facility with a few friends of mine. The concept of the event was encouraging intimacy in worship. Unfortunately I damaged my left wrist and right thumb […]

Why The Quiet?

It’s not that I have been completely mute. There have been times when I have seen the vow of silence as a positive thing. Essentially, though, I have not been mute in that time. What I have done is gathered a new found love for headphones. I don’t love headphones because they block out others. On the […]

When it comes to writing a blog post I don’t always know what to write. As you might have noticed I have been kinda on the quiet side particularly over the month of September. I would like to tell you that the break was due to a need for rest and recuperation. It would be […]

Aiming Arrows Accurately

Have I told you how much I love the TV show Arrow? I don’t watch a lot of TV at all, but I was very much taken with the plot and characters in this story. I particularly like the development of the lead character Oliver Queen from a young playboy relying on his parents’ big […]

Altering Awkward Approaches

The worse thing is – they mean well. You know what I mean. Those people with annoying, irritating aspects of character but aren’t deliberately being so. They don’t mean it, but it’s there. The worse thing is – they mean well. What helps tremendously in engaging with these aspects is recognising some annoying and irritating […]

Alternative Aspects

If it’s just the voice of one we don’t get alternatives. If we don’t get alternatives we may think this is all there is. If we think that we miss out big time on options that can expand our understanding, deepen our knowledge and lead to thriving living. All if we just hear the voice […]

And … Action

There’s a stereotypical presentation of a movie set that I recall. Rehearsals will involve the key characters and the set would be constructed with the appropriate props in place. Through this whole process the cast and crew are guided to how the scene should be delivered by the leading of the director. Once she is satisfied […]
