Reflections

        Like a lot of others, as this year comes to an end, I am reflecting. Reflecting on the past year. The choices made. The changes that need to be made in the coming year. There is always room to grow. Room for improvement. We have never "arrived". We have to keep …

Knowledge Alone Won’t Catch A Fish

You Can’t Live In Two Places At The Same Time

The other night we were watching a documentary on TV and the man made a profound statement. In reference to his terrible childhood, he said: "You can't live in two places at the same time." Wow! I mean, that's so true. You can't be living in the present if you are still living in the …
