I wonder how many times you have been asked the question “how are you?” and you have responded “I am fine thanks!” and, underneath , you are anything but!!!  We all do it.  We don’t mean to tell an untruth but we all, to a certain extent wear a mask. If, a couple of weeks […]

This week, I had a lesson in Lion Taming.  Just before you think I have a lot more courage than you had given me credit for let me explain….     It was an image like this that I saw at a conference this week that really inspired me.  The theme of the conference was […]

Okay, before you read on, let’s get the obvious joke out of the way.  Yes, I am a Leicester Tigers supporter and, after last weekends result, I know all about failure.  Let me also point out the obvious, I know a good amount about success too! With that out of the way, and if you […]

The other day I pulled up in a car park and noticed something a little strange happening across the road.  There was a chap on his mobile phone screaming, shouting, pacing up and down gesturing furiously at the person on the other end. What was he talking about?  I have no idea! I noticed him […]

I read an interesting verse in my time with the Bible this morning; The tongue has the power of life and death (Proverbs 18 vs. 21) I don’t know if they still do but, years ago (in the good old days!) doctors would often tell you to stick out your tongue.  It would seem that […]
