    Expanding joy in my life.

    Each day I work for a few minutes on smiling and experiencing the joy I feel. This comes from a practice of gratitude. Once I acknowledge the good life that I have and the loving people I share my life with, the smile just arrives. It is important for me to 'Count my Blessings' to be reminded...

    How deep and long do we need to go?

    In a fascinating book by Norman Doidge M.D. called " The Brain that changes itself " there is an account of research that describes how new skills/behaviours being learnt week by week are almost easily lost in the first 6 months of learning and then slowly they become cemented in place, often...

    The miracle of persistence

    We live in an instant age. And the truth is, many of us don't live in it, we survive in it. A battleground of conflicting expectations, habits and desires, life for many of us only becomes more frenetic and less controlled as its pace increases. If you're like me, you don't want to be on...

    How Easy to be Pulled Away - How Wonderful to Return

    I've been on the road since June 30. Not all of it has been work. There were 5 days with my step-daughter, her hubby and the 3 year old over July 4. Still, I haven't been home. I've been keeping very long hours for work, and I've been away from any recognizable routine. Part of the missing...
