In much the same way as a computer will eventually grind to a halt if the essential housekeeping isn’t attended to – caches and cookies cleared, disks cleaned up and defragged, recycle bin emptied – our ability to function is impaired when our minds and our surroundings become cluttered in both the physical and metaphoric [...]

There has been a common thread running through voice and email communications with friends. So many seem to be caring for others – be it children, aged parents, employees or friends in distress – and neglecting themselves in the process.

I have a job, which I need to finish, which is so unbelievably dry and dull that I will do just about anything to avoid it! I faced the day determined to complete the task, sat down at the computer and instantly noticed that my desktop was cluttered with icons….and so began an 8 hour [...]

I recently heard about the Spiritual Cinema from my wonderful friend Ron Rink. You can find out more from here http://www.wecould2.com/ I don’t own a television set and I only infrequently go to the cinema as one of the drawbacks of living a rural life is the distance you need to travel to reach civilisation!
