    New seasons

    Well another season has begun and the changing patterns of the seasons affect us in a variety of ways.

    A life purpose

    Years ago I 'discovered ' became aware that my life purpose was to change the environment in which we live for the future of our children. I've explored this many ways and one of the areas was in childcare - I set up after school projects and school holiday programs and looked at a number...

    Natural environment

    I spent time over the weekend contemplating very tall pines, laying on my back on the forest floor and looking up at the sky through the trees. This was a very pleasant experience - I watched the trees solid and grounded at the base and softly swaying at the tops with the sky holding all in place. The...

    Friday the end of the work week.

    It's odd how such a thing as scheduled time for relaxing fits into our lives. I work quite long hours, about 10 per day and I really enjoy my work time.

    Life Balance - getting it right

    Getting life balance right is really difficult for me. I find that I am constantly adjusting to the pressures I create with time commitments to family, work, community involvement and then working on getting some time for myself. I constantly prioritise and reprioritise and adjust and although I manage...
