The Adult Tantrum
Who do you think of when you hear the words: pouting, moping, and the silent treatment? When I think of those words I usually think of a toddler, pre-teen or even a teenager who hasn’t got their way. These are pretty typical responses for people who haven’t got the emotional maturity of adults. But wait, you’re [...]
From a Planner to a Doer
Well anyone who knows me knows that I love to plan. Almost as much as I love to organize and get things just so. The thing with planning is that it doesn’t really get you anywhere. Don’t get me wrong it’s important to plan, within reason. But when planning is all you ever do you [...]
True Happiness – It’s More Than a Fake Smile

A Letter to my Future Self
In 1994 I wrote a letter. I stuck it in an envelope, put it away and completely forgot about it. It wasn’t until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 [...]
