My Routine
I’ve had a few different routines over the last few months, but this one seems to have nailed it. I’m done tweaking it now and at least for the next few months, I think I can live with this. Hope this inspires someone. At the start of the year, I decided what was important to me […]

Shakespeare was wrong.
All the world isn’t a stage. In fact, it’s more like a wheel. And all the men and women aren’t merely players. We are hamsters; The same ideas and the same attitudes coming playing and replaying, over and over. Sometimes with a little altered, sometimes not. So much in this world is repeated and recycled. […]

Daily #TED: The Rise of the Super Rich, Dancing Bears, Love and Thank you

Here they are: #1 Chrystia Freeland: The rise of the new global super-rich [ted id=1791] Since the 1950’s the rise of the super-rich (the top 1%) has been […]

Breakfast with #TED: The Threat of Agriculture, Less Stuff and Hope for Veterans.
For my TED talks today, I used the nifty tool on ted.com to pick 3 persuasive talks that made up 30 minutes in total. I love this part of ted because it creates my own playlist – no faffing. Each talk is not necessarily on the same theme and this is another thing that delights […]
