What’s often unclear is that our actions and those of our country’s leaders ripple beyond ourselves and out into the world around us. This is the path we tread towards a future we create together. It’s also pretty reliable to note that what you seek is not always what you eventually find. Life is a… Read more: Waking From Our Deep Sleep
Facts don’t change people’s minds, but stories certainly do. It’s true, that if you hear a story enough times you’ll believe it to be fact. It helps to remember that a good yarn before bedbedtime helps to relieve anxiety for both adults and children, even if it’s a total fantasy. One of the greatest challenges… Read more: Fact Don’t Matter

One can only hold enormous gratitude and never feel a sense of entitlement for such circumstances emerging in one’s life. There… Read more: How Do We Survive Uncertainty
If you’re not already hiding under the bed covers you may have noticed that we are in the midst of an irrational display of behaviour from our so-called leaders of the free world, is there any wonder that we older folks are struggling to make sense of it all? The important message we are given… Read more: Global Calamities Should We Change Our Retirement Priorities
