The concept of stepping out of our comfort zone, has been used as a way of helping us embrace risk and make changes in our lives that can lead to real personal growth. Sounds great but this definition is low on perspective. I believe that we still need a comfort zone to operate from, we can be so far out of our comfort zone that we no longer thrive we simply…
Isn’t that where many dreams remain — On the shelf Left in the “ONE DAY” Department No Hope of realisation Really? No hope — there’s always hope — Just got to know where to look A while ago my daughter was talking to me about a friend of her’s A friend who has a passion and a purpose — she wants to be a nurse All things were working out…
We set New Years resolutions — Why not set one NOW Done by Christmas — There’s a challenge — Half the year gone Can whatever you are dreaming of be at least — Started by Christmas So that you go into the New Year on a high That’s what I will be discussing in the No Regrets Masterclass A dream is the vision — It is in the mind’s eye…
A few days before I retired from Dentistry one of my patients said — ‘It’s as if you know me’ This comment came because I had given her a book to read after her first visit. I wrote the book quite a few years ago and have given it out when I feel the time is right With this lady who suffers from Chronic Fatigue the time was right. What…
‘I didn’t know you were leaving, no one told me!’ Funny thing about retirement — The feeling of being disposable Being needed until you aren’t — There’s someone to replace you — It’s all good You can leave now — Maybe earlier than you planned but it suits us better Helps us drive our business into the future — Bye And with that the door is closed and the work…

‘Ideas are a dime a dozen’ he said… Then he stole one, not mine but someone else’s and made a fortune He used the one with the dream for what he could get out of him and then left him So ideas may be a dime a dozen - BUT - You’ve got to have them in the first place Not be so unimaginative that all you can do is…
I have agonised, debated with myself, fought through the ups and downs I have questioned myself so many times — What do I have to say that’s different — Why me I have compared myself with others, worried over treatments —Did I get it right Could I have done better — What if I’m wrong — What if I’m not good enough And then a comment — Simple but powerful…
‘Mine of course’ — You say! — Who else’s could it be right? Well that’s what I thought and of course you’re right — It is your life BUT Was it the one you designed or was it designed for you I remember as a child day dreaming of my adult life Right down to the car I would drive — Yes I know too many movies! Yes I've had…
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life We live in uncertain times and have done so for over two years now. During this time the hopes, the dreams, the ideas have for many been put on hold. My daughter’s plans to return to the UK have been on hold for so long now that it is difficult for her not…
