ShareSometimes what I write is insightful and clever. Sometimes not. Now and then it’s thought-provoking and confronting. Occasionally it’s deep and philosophical. Confusing perhaps. Periodically it’s controversial, if not, politically incorrect. It’s even been labeled… blunt. I can’t believe that. So not fair. Well anyway, today… it’s nunnathat. Today, we’re going with amusing, silly and [...]

ShareYou don’t need a PhD to understand that we human beings are complex physical, emotional, spiritual and cerebral creatures; we all get this.(I hope).And while we know that we’re highly-evolved (some more than others), multi-dimensional beings, the truth is that some of us have a propensity to be (periodically) a little one-dimensional. Namely, emotional.(Not you [...]
ShareEvery now and then I take my car to the garage for a service.The guy puts it up on the hoist and checks everything; the brakes, the gear box, the engine, oil, filters… all the stuff that makes it go.And stop.(Me trying to sound mechanical is a.. s-t-r-e-t-c-h).Anyway, he pokes, prods, tests, tightens, aligns, adjusts [...]
ShareLately I have spent a great deal of time with rudder-less ships.People who get up each morning and do exactly what they did yesterday.Not that they particularly want to… it’s just what they do.They do the same.Day in, day out.Year in, year out. They expend a huge amount of energy sailing in circles on the [...]
ShareFor my international visitors: parts of this post may be somewhat confusing because much of the discussion is in reference to a well known football player in our national league here in Australia (the AFL). Just know that he’s a champion athlete and a champion person and you’ll get the rest…. So, the other night [...]
ShareThere’s a lot of great things about being a kid. You don’t have to pay for stuff.You get to lick the cake-mix bowl (a personal highlight for me).You can actually tell people what you think.You can build cool stuff from junk and grown-ups tell you it’s great.Old people spoil you.You can use the “I’m-just-a-kid-and-I-didn’t-know” line [...]
ShareHi Team.No post today but…..Had an interesting chat with Tonya Roberts last weekend on ABC radio here in Melbourne.We spoke all things health, fitness, attitude and lifestyle and threw in a little bit of sillyness and light fluff just for fun.The interview goes for around thirty minutes and is moderately entertaining, interesting and educational! You [...]
Share* This post may or may not be relevant for you… but it will be relevant for someone you know. You may want to give them a photocopy… or better still, send them here to take a look. We all understand what happens to our body as it ages. Without intervention (an exercise/activity program) we [...]
SharePart of my job as an educator, motivator, coach (etc.) is to sell stuff. Kind of. Not physical stuff (toasters, convertibles, cross-bows… although that’d be fun) but more the emotional and psychological stuff like… ideas, concepts, philosophies, strategies. In order to get people to take action I am constantly ‘selling’ the notion that creating our [...]
ShareGotta say, I’m not really a fan of the Self-Appointed, Self-Help Messiah (S.A.S.H.M).(Pronounced S-A-S-H-U-M… another addition to the Harper dictionary). People who think they have a calling… to help the rest of us.Whether we want their help, or not. And lately, they are everywhere.They are proliferating like some kind of weird-ass, super-resilient weed which needs [...]
