Try something new and stick to it (and maybe the yoga mat) A few days into the New Year – how are those resolutions going, have you even started? Statistics (as opposed to lies) show that resolutions seldom work, yet we persist with making them (and lying about them). I reckon a big part of the problem is that we … Read More
Happy New Year, explode the bad, celebrate the good
I’ve been having fun playing with video editing to wish you a Happy New Year. May you explode all the bad stuff out of your life and welcome in lots of good stuff in 2013. And enjoy the fireworks, (and the video).
What a difference a year makes
This photo was taken by our friends on Christmas Day in Squamish, Canada where we lived throughout 2011.

You really need to seize the moment to leave your mark on a snowy Canadian beach! The yinyang symbol so simply symbolises the impermanence of all things – there is an endless flow between … Read More
Change can be a good thing
Sometimes we are so scared of change. You’d think it was a four letter word (FEAR). But when you check out the hairstyles and fashion I used to think were so stylish, its easy to see how change is just so very necessary! And it’s OK to laugh at this collection of clips from my days of TV and video presenting. Those … Read More
