“Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.” – George Bernard Shaw I’m pretty mentally exhausted at the moment, so I don’t have anything to add to this IQ this morning. But know that I love you, value you being around, and appreciate all emails and contact […]
“If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.” – Lucy Larcom I am struggling with winter. This happens every year, and every year I struggle with it. I think it’s a combination of a 1910’s-era home without insulation or central heating, coupled with high ceilings, expansive rooms, and timber floors under […]
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.” – Howard Thurman Yes. What Howard said. I’ve just had a totally ordinary day, where my depression struck harder than it has in a while. I’m […]
“I mean, I’m happy to create an evil army to destroy the world, but nobody messes with my family.” – Dr. Nefario Today’s quote comes to you courtesy of the film Despicable Me 2. I watched it last night with my wife. Well, I watched it, and she dozed on the couch next to me… :) The […]
“When you drop any new idea in the pond of the world, you get a ripple effect. You have to be aware that you will be creating a cascade of change.” – Joel A. Barker Public holiday = brief = late = (sorry) = I still love you = See you tomorrow = with love = […]
This is a quote from an old song called “The Impossible Dream (The Quest)” performed by Andy Williams. It is insanely corny, but also insanely inspiring. I first learned about it through a Honda commercial a few years back – click here for the clip – and loved the soaring vocals set against the tongue-in-cheek, moustache-sporting […]
Dear friends, I’ve just returned from a wonderful speaking engagement for a local photography club. I was able to speak with passion, from my heart, about my photography work. I gave fully and freely of my knowledge and expertise, and even gave away copies of my Our Family books to all attendees. It was pure […]
“Let the weight of the world drift away instead” – Beck These lines are from one of my favourite songs – “Golden Age”, by Beck. It’s taken from an album called “Sea Change”, and is by far one of the most sublime, peaceful and calm albums I own. Since I bought it for Belinda about […]
This is a quote I first heard at a personal development course in 2005. It has always stuck with me, as the ultimate affirmation that if you keep going, keep going, keep going, past all the rejection and failure, your idea will come to fruition. Someone will say “Yes.” And the future of your world […]
