This is a very special blog post for me for a number of reasons… It’s not written by me but by my youngest son aged 10.

These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. If this is all new to you then take a moment … Continue reading
Have you ever thought why are you here? Not an easy question to answer and possibly because it’s framed around “why”… How about what’s your purpose in life? Big question… but I think a worthwhile journey to find your answer. I’d hate to die not appreciating what my purpose here had been… By the way, … Continue reading
