Role Models – Marcus Aurelius

One thing I really do need in life is a role model, or should I say several role models. I need to admire people and I've long given up admiring any politician because I discover they are in it for what they can get out of it. I came across a man yesterday in an ALDI store who radiated love and caring and stood out from the other so much I wanted to give him a hug but on this occasion he was...

The basics for facing the future – help from the stars?

I watch hundreds of videos over the course of a week, probably far more than is healthy, but this one really gave me a source for hope in enabling me to see things in perspective with the dreaded backdrop of the scandals that engulf our world daily.

I love ‘feel good’ quotes like this

When the right soul walks into your life, it feels different. It's not just romance; it's a shift. They don't create drama; they bring peace. They don't dwell on your past; they honour the strength you built from it. Their presence pushes you to heal, to rise, and to grow into the version of yourself you've always been capable of becoming. It's not simply a relationship. It's a partnership in...
