Some people know why they do what they do, and others don’t know. There are very few who know what their plan in life is, for after they have done what they are doing. When you eventually retire, or the kids leave home, or you’ve got that promotion, or sold that business – ask yourself: […]
Breathe
By October 7, 2015 2 Comments
Breathing is such a simple thing. And yet we take it for granted. My recently newborn son struggled to breathe on his own for the first days of his life. As a result of this, I have a newfound appreciation for the wonder of breathing and its capacity for life. After all, without it, none […]
No Lonely Old Age

I want to tell you about one of my favourite projects in the world, one that inspires me and fills me with hope. It is just one example of community connection that begins to address an important issue preoccupying me at the moment. I truly believe that isolation and loneliness is at the root of […]

By February 4, 2015 8 Comments
I love mischief. I always have done. I feel like it’s part of my DNA; I can’t help but want to cause it. I see it in my son, too: that cheeky smile and glint in his eyes, and it makes me smile every time. I find so engaging and disarming. In the world of […]

Almost two years ago I created a social movement called Suspended Coffees. A suspended coffee is the advance purchase of a cup of coffee, for someone who needs it, no matter why.

The Human Cost of Currency Collapse

In my experience, very few people have even contemplated – let alone planned for – a scenario in which their currency slumps and the public lose confidence. Although such events are rare, they do happen; usually after a prolonged attempt to fix an already-failed financial system. If that sounds familiar, it should set off alarm […]

I have an unusual hobby that brings me a lot of joy. It is provocative – as is my way. For the last decade or so, I have spent much of my time freeing people from the tyranny of employment. Every time I help someone escape their employment restricted life, I mentally chalk up another […]

The Struggle Part 2 – We Need Help
By July 9, 2014 37 Comments
Last week, I talked about ‘The Struggle’ and the fact that it happens to many of us at times. I mentioned that I was in the very centre of a personal struggle right now, how my mind is playing tricks on me, and the techniques that I use to keep going and to release myself […]
The Answer Lies Within
By May 7, 2014 17 Comments
Last weekend, I deliberately went through the most terrifying and challenging experience of my life. It is probably not appropriate to describe it in a public forum, but all I can say is that I did it not to seek thrills, but to learn more about my past and my inner motivations. A lot of […]
