“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

Did you ever notice that moment of "just being" between being fully awake and falling asleep? I remember as a young child becoming aware of that timeless moment. It always felt a bit magical. My sense of time is gone, I just float in what I used to call a no-mans-land, knowing that I would be asleep very soon. Little did I know that that "moment between" would have true importance. Let me share wi[...]

Here at home we have a picture hanging above the fireplace which describes what "We Do" as a family at home. It expresses are hopes, beliefs, values and principles as a family. It's an idea I've spotted on the internet and thought it was brilliant. A "thank you and well" done to the original brains behind this idea. I thought it would be nice to have a "We Do..." for the site as well, so her[...]

....has it grabbed you? It did have me, but I managed to escape ;) You know, way back when I was thinking about starting a business.

Amongst one of the books I've read is Wishes Fulfilled  by Wayne Dyer. The quote above is from the book. You know, sometimes you can read a book and you feel it is written fo you.

I want you to be brutally honest with yourself. If money, time (....and all the other excuses ;)) were not an issue, what would you be doing with your life right now? Would you be running your business the way you are doing now? Would you be in the job you are in now? Would you live the life you are living now?
