We hear it in the news, see it in our community, we may be experiencing it ourselves, more and more of us are facing the challenge of taking care of elderly parents – we’re challenged practically, mentally, emotionally, sometimes financially and legally. Roles are reversed
Here we are at the start of a new year, a time when you may be thinking about doing things differently. What is one thing you would really like to change in your life? What within you needs to change to make that happen? What
New year, new start – is it time to find a new way to express yourself? When we decide it’s time for a new start, often it’s the case that our soul is prompting us to be more of who we are. Being who we
Here we are at the start of a New Year. A new adventure awaits us offering new opportunities, new learnings, new friendships. What is your dream for 2018? If you knew that the whole universe is yours, you ARE the universe …. what is your
We often hear ‘it’s all about the journey’. What does that mean to you? How do you live your life? Do you work, work, work, pushing, striving to achieve goals and acquire things? Do you allow time for what matters to you, to do what
Yesterday I visited the Botanical Gardens in Wellington, New Zealand, perhaps best known for its Rose Garden. Tucked away in a corner near a little duck pond, I came across the Peace Garden, which houses a lantern, within which is a flame from the
Is your story one of fun and adventure, or, are you someone who likes life to be comfortable? If you are happy being comfortable, that’s great. However, if it’s the case that things are the same old, same old… you’re comfortable enough, yet deep
This morning I woke up with the sun and looked out of my bedroom window. I saw a river flowing calmly, easily. And… I remembered another river, in Peru, which was positively raging… The Maori have a saying “I am the River, and the
Here in New Zealand I’ve noticed that people often say “it’s all about the story”. This is part of who they are, what they stand for, what they offer. It’s interesting then to ask : what story do you tell yourself – about yourself
How much time do you give to your self? Is everything you do more important than time for you? How committed are you to being all of who you are, to exploring your potential? Is it time to make a commitment to your self and
Do you tend to give, give, give … so much that you often feel exhausted? Have you ever tried to be someone you thought you were supposed to be in order to feel needed? Have you ever thought that you’ve lost all sense of
Do you stand tall, confident in who you are, happy to learn and grow? Or, do you play small and give your power away to others? Do you feel you have the freedom to be who you want to be so you can focus
A few weeks ago here in Hong Kong we enjoyed Mid Autumn Festival when traditionally family and friends come together outdoors to celebrate the harvest during the autumn full moon … and eat moon cakes! Tomorrow there will be another autumn festival – Halloween.
When was the last time you felt real joy? That feeling of you heart singing and feeling so good to be alive. What brings you joy? How often do you make time for it? Happiness, I’ve learned, can be fleeting. Usually it’s a response
For the past few weeks, we’ve been taking a look at moving through change or making a new start, and what can get in the way of that. Now, our focus is on choice. For me, every moment we have choice… even when it
A dear friend of mine recently lost both his parents within a very short period of time, then, soon afterwards his son announced that he and his wife are expecting a baby. A grandchild for him. The Circle of life. Nature’s way of taking and
How do you find making decisions? Do you feel confident about the choices you make? Or, do you find it challenging – worry about getting it right, making a mistake, perhaps you will upset someone? Do you look to others to help you make choices? Do
I’ve always been touched by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder’s piece of music – ‘Ebony and Ivory’. Each time I listen, I get goose bumps! I truly believe we all want to live in harmony, so, what stops us from living in harmony with one
