“A smile abroad
is often a scowl at home” (Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
It’s often said that when Life, or The Universe, has
something to teach you, it keeps putting that lesson in front of you until you
finally get it.
(Equally, you could argue that sometimes you miss
something the first zillion times, because you’re not programmed to notice
it. So you keep […]
A quick chomp on an old onion skin
On a personal note, 2005 is ending with one of those unwanted gifts that may have to grow on you.
I recently spent time in a specific environment that I had chosen, in preference to various others, in the hope that it would be safe and nurturing.
As luck would have it, it […]
Whose mind-set is it anyway?
In the last couple of weeks a with
another nice man has set me thinking. This man is a high-flying executive who teaches negotiation in the UK

Love Is All You Need… Or Is It?
At some point, every one of us
has longed for that fuzzy ultimate feel-good sense of being regarded as the
perfect inhabitant of a perfect world by our perfect partner.
Whatever the problem is, love is
the answer. Love is all you need, after

“Denial Is Not A River In Egypt”
Denial isn’t a river in Egypt. It’s
actually a snowball hurtling down a steep slope, becoming ever bigger
and gathering momentum as it goes. Once you’ve started explaining his
bad behaviours away, you just keep on doing it, way beyond the dictates
of common sense and self-respect. Having put him on a pedestal, you’re
