Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…
“Turn and face the strange” We talk about the phases of life coming and going like the seasons, but that’s not really true, is it? We know that as autumn ends and winter begins that if we keep going and don’t get careless and die, then sure as the sun rises we will see spring,Continue reading “Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…”
The Martian Theory
I’ve never felt like I totally belonged here on earth. I’ve always been slightly bemused, and felt alien towards most of life’s game rules. As a result I’m often puzzled, frequently amused and mostly lost (but not always in a bad way). I call the way I brought my son up ‘The Martian Theory’. ItContinue reading “The Martian Theory”
A Letter I Wish I Could Deliver
Dear 16 year old me, I would have thought that by the time I was 55 that I would have it all sussed by now, but it seems not to be the case. I still don’t really have a clue what I’m doing, so I’m writing to you to say a few things about stuff I’veContinue reading “A Letter I Wish I Could Deliver”

Happy Australia Day!

Coming from Scotland I’ve often been asked whether I was torn between the country of my birth and the country I choose to live in, but I don’tContinue reading “Happy Australia Day!”
The Effort of Doing Nothing
My very writing of this blog post is one big ol’ piece of irony. I’m actually contravening what I’m writing about, in writing about it! Let me explain. The topic of this post is giving yourself permission to do nothing. Today is Sunday, it’s a sunny afternoon after a period of gloomy rainy wintry weather.Continue reading “The Effort of Doing Nothing”
The Servant’s Heart
Good god! I haven’t written on here since last September! Apologies for my absence (if I’ve been missed). Its been a life changing set of months which have blurred into a flurry of work, study, coaching and business building. I’ve been keen to stick to the Brad Sugars quote that we should ‘learn before weContinue reading “The Servant’s Heart”
