I found out something huge today – Something not of great importance in terms of world peace but of great “hmmmmm…” none the less. Did you know you can replace your iPhone battery? Isn’t that awesome? I thought you had to throw those things away when the battery stopped working so well.

Those people who want more from their life are rare. Rarer still are those who are looking to do something about it. Infinitely rarer than that are those who ACTUALLY follow through and take steps. It’s so easy to point the finger and blame everything else why our lives are the way they are. It’s

Is the world going to hell in a hand basket? I don’t even know what a hand basket is, but I did hear the phrase on the Simpsons a long time ago. You can trust the Simpsons. But it would seem at the moment there’s very little you can trust for sure. It would seem

Ready for a New Years Motivational? Nah… It’s been so nice doing absolutely nothing. Eating, drinking, reading, board games, chatting, a little tree chopping, some kayaking, a load of just closing my eyes and snoozing and meditating. I’m still not really ready to jump back in.

Presents opened, chocolate tree decorations consumed, hangovers (perhaps) now in full flow. I hope you had a great time. Life is there to enjoy, is it not?
Gift giving – what a nightmare. If you’re like me, you’re a bit useless at giving gifts. There’s the fact that you have no idea what they would want. Or the ideas that you subtly suggest upon passing shop windows – say a dress for your wife – get greeted with scorn and derision by

Sometimes people ask me, ‘What IS the point?’ Not the metaphysical, “what is the point of life?” But what’s the point in meditating? Perhaps they’ve given it a quick go and aren’t really sure why or what they’re doing. For the sake of explanation, assume you have an inner two year old (with all the

I’ve got the itch. And it isn’t from my merino thermals. (Merino isn’t scratchy actually) Feels like I haven’t been out kayaking (my favourite thing the world to do, next to eating) for ever. All these social occasions in the lead up to Christmas means when it’s raining I’ve been chatting, But now I’m free,
