If I had only …..

My sweet little puppy, Purlie, died last night. Purlie was the livewire of our household. She was the dog who was first out of the house to greet me as I drove through the gate. By the time the car stopped, she was already at the door, tail wagging. Purlie was the smallest of a […]

I love you

One morning last week before going to work, I e-mailed four of my dearest friends. I told them how much they mean to me and ended with “I love you”. I also called my children (I was overseas away from home) to say “I love you”. My day went uphill from there on. For by […]

"Fruit don’t fall far from tree"

“Fruit don’t fall far from tree”. This is a saying that I first heard many years ago, and of which I was reminded yesterday in Trinidad.

Jealousy

One of the most destructive emotions is jealousy. It can ruin our relationships and our lives. The root of jealousy is fear – fear of loss, of being alone, of losing a person’s love and attention. It causes all sorts of very irrational, despicable and destructive behaviour – lying, spying, cheating, hiding, withholding, emotional and […]

Money Energy

Many of us have a very negative and harmful relationship with money. We realize that it is important in our lives yet we somehow fail to get to a place of having a comfortable, positive relationship with it. Which perhaps explains why many of us never have “enough”! What I realize is that money is […]
