Mind bashing body
My Dad shared this revelation with me this week, and I think it is so important. The mind used to keep us safe. It would tell us when to run and when to hide. It would help us find shelter and food but those aren’t things, we generally have to worry about now, so the … Continue reading Mind bashing body
Double portion
Each of you must make up your own mind about how much to give. But don’t feel sorry that you must give and don’t feel that you are forced to give. God loves people who love to give. 2 Corinthians 9:7 CEV Serving is giving. Your skills. Your effort. Your time. Are you are cheerful … Continue reading Double portion

Its probably been 25 years+ since I read the book, “The trick to money is having some” by Stuart Wilde but this quote thankfully surfaced in my mind this week... “You don’t need a million dollars necessarily or a stockpile of Swiss francs [or a store cupboard of toilet paper] to feel ok.

The problem is me
When something isn’t going well with a relationship or a project we tend to look out. He’s at fault! She needs to change! We might accept part of the problem but it’s common to justify putting off our change until we first see change in the other. Everyone waits. Nothing happens.

Our brain processes those experiences and creates a framework or map that it then uses to view similar or new experiences. As a result, often our interpretation or perspective of a situation has little to do with actual reality … Continue reading It’s all invented
Showing up
Showing up is the shortcut - is my new mantra, courtesy of this wonderful post by Bernadette Jiwa. When we think of shortcuts we generally think of something that takes less time and effort. There's a sense that the shortcut will save us something or fast-track us along. In contrast, when I think of showing … Continue reading Showing up
Meaning takes time
This week I listened to a fascinating podcast by Krista Tippett interviewing Maria Popova, the wonderful author of Brain Pickings. She said this… "...The reason we’re so increasingly intolerant of long articles and why we skim them, why we skip forward even in a short video that reduces a 300-page book into a three-minute animation … Continue reading Meaning takes time
Can I have your attention please
My inbox overflows. I'm sure yours does too. In his book "The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 technological forces that will shape our future", Kevin Kelly gives a fascinating insight into attention that grabbed umm… my attention. "Our attention is the only valuable resource we can personally produce without training. It is in short supply and … Continue reading Can I have your attention please
