When I was reevaluating my core beliefs and values at the beginning of the year friendship was still in the top five values. Despicable me … I started to wonder why I still allow people into my life who add little and wipe their feet all over me. Awesome me … I then wondered why…
After the good wishes and kind thoughts from friends and followers of QP and Eye, it seems fair to follow up how things panned out. Three days ago I was in a state of high anxiety and doing head miles about all the worst case scenarios and how awful it would be. Of course, nothing…
The two elderly women in the corner of the coffee shop are engrossed in each other’s stories unaware of onlookers. They are complete. Their friendship is bound neither by age nor place. The two of them, oblivious of the Facebook definition of friendship. The two in the photo seem to be share a depth and…
We know in our heart when it is time to let go of a relationship whether a friend, relation or colleague. When things don’t work out it is time to let go yet most of us find it hard to walk away and move on. There is always a sense of loss and grief which…

On the other side of the world many of you will be waiting for the Sandman to come visiting … while here in the Land Down Under it is Australia Day (correctly pronounced Straya Day). It is the one day in the year on which the rest of us catch up with those among us…
