Putting number one first forms the foundational stones of looking after others. We cannot help those we care about, until we’ve mastered how to prioritize our own wellbeing. Yet it can feel indulging, especially if we’ve spent weighty years putting other people’s demands above our own. If we’ve allocated more time people - pleasing, for [...]
There are rarely any shortcuts in achieving the life we wish to live. However much we love and cherish our family and friends: the action lies in your hands. You are the director of your own life. Equally we all have tedious daily chores and tasks, that require our management. Very few of us have [...]
Those of us who are lucky enough to have true friends have immeasurable wealth! In every sunny and stormy day – alike, they share our life journey with love, consistency, truth, and lightness. They never judge nor trick us, they are simply there; a call or a facetime and whenever we need them, or they [...]
True happiness is found within; it’s the connection of mind body and spirit. When like-minded people get together, they experience shared values, humour and quality time. They have fun regardless of their surroundings – and time flies by, memories are made and revisited. The reason we invest with true friends is the effortless connection we [...]

Chaka Khan, Madonna, Kylie Minogue – to name just a few: have one thing in common. They are embracing an era of ageless times. Follow your passion, regardless of your age. Chaka Khan, who lives on a ranch, has grandchildren, and could, at her age, simply surrender to her retirement years quietly. Yet the great [...]

Similarly, it is usually other peoples’ actions, or inactions- that render us the need to orientate our sense of self-worth. If you’ve endured poor friendships then to help you synchronize; it is necessary to explore the components of who [...]
Our values are an intrinsic part of our personalities; though we can’t profile the markers -they are our soul DNA. We collect and shape them through nature and nurturing. We select the values we align with, and hold them close-to-heart. We do this in bulk during puberty, as we become conscious of our personal awareness. [...]
