Lots of questions about purpose at the moment – I think it must be the moon or the alignment of the planets poking you or something. (Porpoise?) But it’s a great question: “What am I doing here?”, everyone asks it at some stage. Since I believe that what I’m doing right now IS my purpose, […]
“What are you doing here?” A large question … Read More »
Reading a newspaper article this morning as I was sipping my coffee and feeding the toast/hummus/avocado machine that is Bubba (she’s a hipster babe, what can I do?), and I spluttered, a little. The article was about corporate mindfulness programmes to help workers deal with stress. It stated that corporate mindfulness was turning the workers

Last time I talked about how “The Pause”. Gettit? The Pause has capitals for sure, because it’s a meaningful (and meaningless) moment or minutes where you just stop and do nothing.

There goes 2017. Where did it go huh? I’m starting to sound like my father, heh heh. You might be the sort of person to take this time to look at what you want to do differently. What you want to do more of, and less of, and even what you want to do the
After Christmas – and its a lovely time to relax and perhaps take a little introspection. A little examination of how you doing at all of this. After all, New Years is coming and bringing with it all of the resoluteness of being inspired to do things different. So – Why do you do all
