1: Catalyst (Ice) — Life has a habit of taking unexpected twists and turns. You have a few simple choices when this happens; you can ignore them, roll with them, or fall. I tend to choose to roll with them because you never know where the path may lead. …

Be wary when it comes to ‘the little stuff’. — You may previously have heard variants of this particular urban myth to the effect of; If you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will immediately jump out but, if you place the frog in a pot of cold (some accounts say tepid or lukewarm) water and…

Letting go and moving on — Just recently, I’ve had a very clear idea of what I didn’t want to write. The Board of Executives in my head has had a very clear opposing view. This is why the end result has been stalemate and nothing written and so I’ve had to concede there’s probably some…

That’s life, folks. — I have recently come to the rather unpleasant realization that, contrary to my own popular belief, I am NOT a superhero. I can’t actually do everything all at once.

After a while, I laughed with it. — April is done and dusted and gone with the wind (not the movie) and my 30-Day-April Challenge is done and dusted along with it. Naturally, me being me, I hadn’t even taken time for the dust to settle before I was breaking out a new plan, papers scattered across the…

Of the challenge, NOT life as we know it. (30-day April Challenge #30!!!!!) — Where were your minds going? I mean, I know things are a bit rough globally but we’re not there yet.
