Late Starter
I recently read an article about an “exceptional” woman who had just completed her first university degree at the ripe old age (there’s a term for discussion) of seventy-seven. While the story was interesting and the woman is indeed an inspiration, I wondered why a person doing some study and passing some exams would [...]

Laughs and Blisters
Hi Everyone. I hope you a had great weekend. I did. It was a little exhausting but lots of fun nonetheless. Our first MBE program is done and dusted and we had a total blast with plenty of breakthroughs, a few tears, lots of laughs, some sore muscles, constant light bulb moments and [...]
Giving Failure the Finger
Last Friday, we spoke about the idea of breaking our big-picture goals and dreams down into an ongoing series of short-term action plans. Okay, I spoke, you listened. Er, read.

Back to the Future Past
Have you noticed how some of us seem determined to drag our miserable past (or elements thereof) kicking, screaming and bitching into our present reality?
