To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to  put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must set our hearts right. Confucius.

Hmmm… something to ponder as we head on into the dark winter of discontent, on so many different  fronts.

I hope we’re up to it.

Fingers crossed.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.   ..

I look forward to seeing you here again soon.

As always, thank you for reading me.

Greatness is not where we stand, but in what direction we are going. We must sail sometimes with the wind, sometimes against it, but sail we must; and not drift, nor lie at anchor. Oliver Wendell Holmes.

I believe that each of us is here for a reason, that there is meaning and purpose to our lives. I don’t know how I know that. I just do.

That’s not an easy concept to wrap your head around. Stepping out from the crowd takes a special brand of courage and faith.

If that’s where you are, out there every day, doing good work, believing what you’re doing is making a difference and improving peoples circumstances, be brave.

If you believe you are sailing with the wind, stay with it.

The future is called ‘perhaps’, which is the only thing to call the future. And the important thing is not to allow that to scare you. Tennessee Williams.

For some time, at home and abroad, America’s future as leader of the Western world has been called into question.

So it was that the world was watching with bated breath, hoping that the recent election would mark the beginning of a turnaround that is so desperately needed in our changing, daunting times.

It’s looking hopeful…

Out with much of the craziness of the social media circus, the distortion of the truth and political backroom maneuvering that that has so divided the nation:

And in, again, with some of the old school values like personal responsibility, common sense, decency, integrity, consideration for others, respect for the environment, for the law and what is right and fair.

Old school values… coming back into fashion. Who knew?!

It’s going to be a long road, but a brighter future beckons.

Fingers crossed.

Go as far as you can go. When you get there, you’ll be able to see farther. Thomas Carlyle.

Of the many traits successful people exhibit, one of the most helpful is the ability to adapt to the unexpected and the new.

They have learned, through trial and error, that success doesn’t come over night.They know there are no quick fixes. No short cuts.

There is just hard work, consistency, generosity of spirit, transparency and an ever present willingness to adapt to change.

They know that the road to success, to a large extent, depends on a high degree of flexibility, humility and courage.

On top of everything everything else, they have an over-riding belief in themselves and that when faced with a challenge they will prevail. They just keep on.

We all have the right to have doubts about our task and even abandon it occasionally; the one thing we mustn’t do is to forget it. The Fifth Mountain, Paulo Coelho.

It has been a rough couple of years, challenging in so many ways.

The pandemic isn’t over quite yet, but as we get beyond the worst of it, the conundrum facing many is whether to just give full throttle to their current activities or, perhaps, pause for a deep rethink about the arc of their lives and what we doing with our time here.

Big thoughts, I know, but that’s what a pandemic brings with it. Everything has changed. As we begin to adjust to the new realities, there isn’t a better time than now to refresh and, if necessary, repurpose our lives:

All with the aim of staying relevant, engaged and endeavouring to create more peace and balance in our lives.

That means never giving up on yourself, doubling down and turning a blind eye to all the craziness to which we are being constantly subjected.

It means standing up for what you know and believe to be right, regardless of the wave of dishonesty, disinformation and outright lies flooding many of the social media platforms:

Ever mindful of Mahatma Gandhi’s admonition that even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
