Hello
Apologies for not blogging recently. There are many excuses, and together they were big, so I apologise.

Today, I want to challenge everyone reading this. Your challenge is this: Go through your home and sort out your winter jumpers, parkas, quilts, blankets, doona etc.  Most people will have some of these that they no longer use or don’t have [...]

Hi
I read lots of books. I mean L-O-T-S. In each book I inevitably discover a hidden gem, or two. On this blog, I will often mention a truly special article. There is a book by Paul Arden, called “It’s not how GOOD you are, it’s how GOOD you want to be”.
