Intent and focus

One of the great puzzles of my life’s journey is why some of my intentions are not realised. I consider myself a possibility thinker – where all things are possible, nothing is impossible. But as I observe instances in my own life and others of stated intentions not realised, I ask myself “when does possibility […]

I am a great big bundle of potentiality

Following is an address I gave to the Rotary Club of Kingston today. A year ago, at my son’s graduation from prep school, the graduating class sang the song “I am a promise”. There is a line in that song that I particularly love “I am a great big bundle of potentiality”. On that proud […]

Vacation emptiness

Today is Day #4 of my vacation. For a total change of pace, I am vacationing in a big city, Chicago. It has been an interesting three days, living in a city. I have met numerous friends and acquaintances of my host, Desiree. Many express surprise that I live in Jamaica and am vacationing in […]

Plies (pronounced “plee-ayz”)

On my path to enlightenment, I have found great value in always coming back to the basics. This weekend, I hosted and attended “The Awakening” program developed by the Global Institute For Transformation (GIFT). The Awakening is designed to awaken us from our unconscious sleep and allow us to take a conscious look at ourselves. […]

TRANSFORMATION – WHAT’S REALLY REQUIRED?

We hear of “personal transformation”, “organizational transformation”, and most recently “transformation of the education system”. And yet we see so little transformation!

Whatever I want I must DO and BE

I am in Miami on a weekend jaunt with my children having a great time staying with cousins. As we tried to get up and about this lazy Sunday morning, I found myself saying repeatedly to the children “Go and get ready”. This went on for over an hour, with my being totally ignored. Then […]
