I find it fascinating and empowering, this ability to go online to draw down information on people, places, animals, things, issues. Without a doubt, the rapid change in technology has allowed me to witness within my life time, the transition from mail delivered at the snail pace of the General Post Office (Trinidad & Tobago) … Continue reading Knowing Being and Doing … the dilemma, to be or not to be Part I

Dancing With Spirituality
There was a time in history, when wisdom appeared to be vested in a few individuals called Masters. People travelled from far and wide to sit at the feet of these Masters and seek clarity in their lives. The Masters were characterised as being of few words, many parables, great humility, inner peace and regularly … Continue reading Dancing With Spirituality
TIME OUT – from boredom to the search for happiness
TIME OUT - There was a time when as parents, we discussed the growing phenomenon of children SAYING "I am BORED". It appeared that gone were the days when children could amuse themselves with anything from a pallet stick, to a stone, to a cardboard box, to playing with imaginary friends. As that conversation dwindled, … Continue reading TIME OUT – from boredom to the search for happiness
FACEBOOK … the ultimate Johari Window
I am always amused when I happen to be engaged in discussions surrounding the information that people reveal about themselves on Facebook. The question usually surfaces “if they are having such a good time, how is it that they can still manage to take so many photos?” or “do we have to know everything that … Continue reading FACEBOOK … the ultimate Johari Window
September 1st 2014
2014 is almost over. A year that has seen an increase in brutality and deaths worldwide. Where have all the hearts and souls on which we rely for compassion and empathy gone? Our leaders appear to have issues with integrity, trust is no longer a touted word and the media is thriving on sensationalism, a … Continue reading September 1st 2014
TIME OUT … knowing when it’s time to throw in the towel
We have all exchanged our fair share on the pros and cons of social media. For me facebook is one area that continues to surface gems for me, and through which I inadvertently "evangelise" to my followers. This morning was one of those "gems", as I read a posting "Suicide does not end the chances of … Continue reading TIME OUT … knowing when it’s time to throw in the towel

Time Out … All Doors Are Open
For as far back as I can recall, our home was always surrounded by security dogs, that neighbours, friends and strangers feared, but that I considered the most affectionate pets. One phenomenon that always amazed me was the ability of one particular Rottweiler to amble along the double barrier of chain link fence and suddenly … Continue reading Time Out … All Doors Are Open
Time Out ………….. making the impossible, possible
For as far back as I can recall, our home was always surrounded by security dogs, that neighbours, friends and strangers feared, but that I considered the most affectionate pets. One phenomenon that always amazed me was the ability of one particular Rottweiler to amble along the double barrier of chain link fence and suddenly he would stop and sniff the base of the fence. Inevitably, this signalled that he had found an escape route in the fence and if I wasn’t swift enough, he would wriggle his way through to whatever lay beyond. What distinguished this Rott from the other four Rotts in the yard? Why did the others believe that the perimeter of the fence was their limit?
The thing about it is, no matter how many times we paced the fence; we were unable to spot the opportunity that our Rott had the ability to discover. He…

TIME OUT – When Doors Open … The First Doorway
When Doors Open, my final blog for 2013 – and like a door that can be opening and closing in a single movement, this blog closes off 2013 and marks the beginning of 2014. To that extent I believe that doors are in fact always opening. The action is analogous to the act of surrender, … Continue reading TIME OUT – When Doors Open … The First Doorway
