A second chance. Starting over. A new beginning. These are our choices to make. At any stage of life, there is the potential to become something different. Something new. To become someone new. Or as a dear friend has said to me, 'No, it's still you ... it's just another version of you'. In my… Continue reading your heart knows the way

wind flowers
Sometimes, we float on the surface of life.We drift with the currents of the everyday.Carried along by circumstance, not dreams,Conforming to expectations and plans. Sometimes, hope rises to the surfaceSo our dreams can breathe again.And the winds of chance and changeCan allow us to find new ways to live.
daring to dream
Sometimes in life, things will collide. One will give meaning to the other. It will add a new perspective, and perhaps bring resolution.My first thing is that I recently completed a training and was asked to write a testimonial.

It's not simply a matter of 'less is more' but of having just the right words. I want to choose the essential and most suitable words to… Continue reading on being perfect
