Space to grow – Lifelong Learning
Today in rehab I was falling over the place. It was exhausting, and I would say embarrassing too but thankfully not many people were there to witness the debacle. The ones who were there probably didn't even notice or care! But through it all I realised these many blunders would take me to a higher… Continue reading Space to grow – Lifelong Learning
Daniel Fast 2017 – Day One
Beef burgers, steaks, roast chicken, salmon and sea bass, bread, pasta, sweets and chocolates... It's that time of year again when I give all of the above up for a whole 21 days! Why?

Remember, remember the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes tried to bomb the Houses Of Parliament 212 years ago on the 5th November. His lack of success was rewarded with a punishment befitting the crime of treason: he was hung, drawn and quartered. (Don't Google that!) So every year us Brits (or at least us English… Continue reading My Bonfire Night Ft. Guy Fawkes

Always save your work. Doh!
I’ve just finished writing a piece of promotional material for the first AMPLIFY Peak Performance business workshop in December. My laptop shut down because the battery is having problems right now. And the file and all those hours of work are lost. It was literally about 250-300 words. But it was 250-300 words of gold!… Continue reading Always save your work. Doh!
