Wee Words for the Weekend
Today I thought I would share with you an excerpt from one of my favourite books. I’ve chosen a section from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran. I’ve bought several copies of this book over the years and gave them away to friends who said, “What’s it about?” The copy I currently have was bought in… Continue reading

Can Terrorists Also Be Victims?
No doubt some of you will have heard about the recent suicide bomber, in the city of Manchester, England. Manchester is less than an hour away from my hometown, so it feels very close to home. Checking the news, like I do most mornings ever so briefly, sickens me. And I don’t just mean the… Continue reading

Don’t Give Up – You Owe This to Yourself
Why is it so easy to talk ourselves out of doing something that feels right? Lack of self-belief? Fear of success? Fear of failure? Fear of what people will think of us when we dare to go for what we want? The list seems almost endless. As a self-confessed dreamer, I realized quite early on… Continue reading

What Does Your Blog’s Identity Say About You?
Although I’m rather new to the world of WordPress, and I’m still tweaking my site here and there, one thing I really wanted to get sorted out was my blog’s identity. (By ‘identity’, I mean our site’s subtitle.) I feel it’s important to get it right. These were the options I considered before settling with… Continue reading
