As winter rolls on down here, and bugs, viruses etc keep spreading their own form of joy, it occurs to me that it might be interesting to spread a little ‘counter-virus’ of my own.

Smile, and try to make it infectious.

You know how hearing a kid laugh is just impossible to resist?  Or that big, silly, toothless grin a baby gives is something you can’t help but feel creeping over your own face?  That’s a skill we were all born with but forget to keep in practise.

Today, I declare that I intend to give big, silly, laughter-filled smiles out everywhere I can – with the aim that at least one or two of them will end up being passed on.

After all, today is a GOOD day!  Smile! :D

11 Weeks on Raw Food – week 2

July 25, 2010

The Quest for Identity

July 5, 2010

Personal Development is a huge industry these days, but why are so many people lost and looking to find themselves?
Could it be that the modern world has stripped our lives of meaning?
Has the emergence of the ‘cult of individuality’ ironically deprived us of the things that give us the very foundation we need to [...]

July 4, 2010

I’m back, and after a much needed break, I’ve committed myself to my next 2 quests/experiments.
First, I’m doing Season 1 of the 100 day Reality Challenge, over at http://cocreatingourreality.com.  The season started on 28 June, the same day I went back to work after my holidays.  (I’ll post on that soon.) For the next 100 [...]

Julia Gillard Takes the Reins

June 24, 2010

We’ve had a female deputy PM, acting PM, a female Governor General, and now it’s official.  Julia Gillard has taken the Reins.
It’s a sad thing that circumstances forced Kevin Rudd out of the role before he had a chance to grow into it, but times are changing rapidly and tolerance in the current global environment [...]

Mind Control Part I

May 9, 2010

Cover via Amazon

There’s a guardian angel in my library.  Whoever it is seems to get me to pull out the books I most need, just when I need them.
Last night, for some reason, I just had to re-read “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” by Dan Millman.  I remembered that I loved it, (and that one [...]
