“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” – Mark Twain It sounds trite – as some of Mr Twain’s quotes can – but the deeper message here, for me at least, is to reflect when you find yourself marching to the same drum as everyone else. […]
“Take one step at a time.” Belinda and I are up for some pretty big stuff. Like… designing and building a coach-sized motorhome, for starters. And transforming children’s health one lunchbox at a time, as well. And leaving the city we’ve lived in for 18 years to travel our country and work on the road. […]
“Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.” – Sophocles This morning my son jumped into bed around 6am for some warm cuddles. (Which I LOVE.) The interesting part is this: lying there in between me and Belinda, Ril asked “Why does time become long ago?” Hmm. Existential angst and philosophical […]
“Countless choices define our fate: each choice, each moment – a moment in the ripple of time. Enough ripple, and you can change the tide… for the future is never truly set.” – Charles Xavier So here’s the thing. I freaking LOVE Marvel movies. Like LOVE love. So tonight Bel and I went to see […]

He even used this Jay-Z quote. At the time I was jet-lagging something fierce, but I still remember the presentation well, and this is […]
“The key is not to priorize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” – Stephen Covey This powerful quote comes from a book titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” – a self-help book published first in 1989. It’s especially relevant to me today, because I had a lengthy chat with my […]
“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.” – Abraham Lincoln. Today’s photo comes from a street corner in Fargo, ND. I was out for a walk with my iPhone one afternoon, and noticed this wristwatch sitting there. It had been there for a while, because there was […]
I don’t even know what time it actually is. I’ve been travelling for almost 24 hours, after leaving new, dear friends in Fargo, North Dakota USA around lunchtime on Monday. I have crossed a dozen time zones, slept intermittently, and done my absolute best to relax and feel even remotely comfortable on this long-haul adventure. I’m […]
