A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Beers

Before you read what’s next, you need to know I have been fortunate not to have had any significant family tragedies and dramas. You also should know I live halfway around the world from family and friends when I left North America to live in Sydney, Australia over a decade ago. Over the years, I […]

30 Things To Stop Doing To Yourself

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you. As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  […]

The London 2012 Olympics

We’re on the eve of the 2012 London Olympics when the very best athletes converge on London to put it all on the line. For many, it’s the make-or-break moment of their (athletic) careers yet it’s been easier for them to train than the average person. Confused? Let me explain. Olympians have a 4-year timeline […]

Don’t Wait For The Applause

There are many times when you do stuff that needs to be done, for all the right reasons and no one is there to applaud you. No one celebrates a non-failure. That’s why politicians are so reluctant to err on the side or PREVENTION – they would rather deal with a CLEANUP effort than a […]

Live below your means, above your needs

That is a saying I overheard recently that is so powerful it’s all I really have to say. Think about what your means are and if you’re living at, below or above them. Then think about your needs – what are they really? Are they reasonable? Excessive? Low? High? I teach a concept called Voluntary […]

Alzheimer’s Prevention

We all have aging parents and/or relatives. Just the thought of Alzheimer’s affecting them can be quite traumatic. “The idea that Alzheimer’s is entirely genetic and unpreventable is perhaps the greatest misconception about the disease,” says Gary Small, M.D., director of the UCLA Center on Aging. Researchers now know that Alzheimer’s, like heart disease and […]

Yoga class empty, New Year’s Resolutions already forgotten!

At the beginning of the year, I blogged about my yoga class being full because people started their New Year’s Resolutions… We’re not even into March and my yoga class is essentially ’empty’. There’s no surprise, most people just don’t commit to their goals and therefore never realise their ultimate dreams or destinies. I used […]

Professor Dr Malcolm Simons RIP

I’ve blogged about Professor Dr Malcolm Simons on this and other blogs several times. I am sad to say Malcolm passed away on 25 January 2012, at 10.14 pm. “Dear Friends, He was surrounded by family and friends and achieved his wish to die peacefully and with dignity. He did this (as always) on his […]

Yoga class full, must be a new year…

I  just got back from my yoga class – it was full. Must be a New Year… Lots of people TRYING to make a change, based on their New Year’s Resolutions… What’s too bad is most will stop coming to class – probably before the end of January. Not surprisingly, 88 percent of New Year’s […]

New Year’s Resolutions… How Are They Going So Far?

There is no doubt about it, New Year’s Resolutions are a powerful tool to achieve goals, yet only a few follow up and follow through on their resolutions… Why is that? One simple reason is that most people forget that decisions are made every minute of every day and they add up at the end of […]
