  • A Friday Funny

    In the spirit of the October Daily Practice of Laughter, I’ve been looking for old amusing things from the archives of my blog…and I found this little gem from August last year!

    OnTheBeach – The Voice of Wisdom

    This week, the beach card “Learn to listen to your intuition” inspired me to bring an article about listening to your inner knowing out of the archives – I hope it inspires you to listen to the voice inside you that knows. You know what I’m talking about – that voice that whispers to you…

    In honour of the October Daily Practice, here’s my favourite joke: A man and his wife were awakened at 3 o’clock in the mnorning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. “Not…

  • Maybe So, Maybe Not

    A lovely client this week reminded me of this marvellous story: Maybe So, Maybe Not. – Ancient Taoist Proverb One day, a farmer’s horse ran away. His neighbors expressed sympathy, “What terrible luck that you lost your horse!” The farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not.” A few days later, the horse returned, leading several wild…

  • OnTheBeach – A Triumph of Hope and Ingenuity

  • October Daily Practice: Laugh!

    Did you join me last month for the September Daily Practice – feeling good? It was a good practice huh? So, this month I decided to continue in a ‘good feeling’ vein with LAUGHTER. Yep, the daily practice this month is laugh. Laugh, every day, every time you get a chance, and make a big…
