My Wife
It’s my wife’s birthday today. Happy Birthday my sweetheart – hope you’re enjoying the holiday! (She gets my blog in her email (BTW you can wish her a happy birthday on her Facebook profile.) The reason why I bring it up is because she is a woman who supports me unfailingly – the kind of [...]
The Internet and Mental Health

Using A Community
I’m really enjoying Dan Blank’s blog at the moment. I first caught onto him through my close friend Andrew Davies at idio, and I’ve been following him for a while, but it seems these past few weeks I’ve really caught onto his writing a lot more. Last week he wrote a post that I knew [...]
A Request From Me, To You
If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. I’m taking a much needed break over the next 3 weeks. My eyes have been very sore and are stressed to the point that I need to wear glasses for a while to ‘reset them’, according to the doctor. This [...]

Are You Afraid To Give It Away?

Are You Living A Life Of Purpose?
Ok, so perhaps this is deep and delving a bit too much into people’s salads, but the other night I was at a dinner party and when asking about their interests and passions, the person said to me that they weren’t really doing the things they felt were a fulfilment of their life and found [...]
