Second time around, and how fire walking is a metaphor for life!

Hello
In 2007 I did my first ever fire walk. I was at a seminar with about 70 other people, and was not quite sure that I wanted to do it. Our group had prepared and were ready to go. Outside the coals were hot! I stood there on the perimeter watching everyone else do the [...]

Holding back

Hello
It is the things in life that you don’t do that you will regret, rather than the things that you did do. Yet, so many of us don’t do things for the strangest reasons. What if we did everything we wanted to do, and didn’t let excuses hold us back?

Improving fitness

G’day
Today’s blog will be a bit personal… and relevant. Summer is now behind us, and winter looms. Winter is traditionally a time of eating warm, filling, comfort food.
