In life we often talk about good listeners. People who are always attentive and are the ear for you to bend when things are not going well. But listening is only half of the story as it takes a certain type of person to go from listening, to hearing. We all listen to what is happening around us yet very few people really, truly hear what is being said to us. I know that I have to make a concerted effort to stop myself thinking about what I am going to say or trying to solve t

From love to fear, creativity and structure a sense of chaos seems to be part of who we are. Even when we are at our most organized, a small aspect of our world can tip the scales into chaos once more. When you think about it, it is natural that chaos is part of our lives. In the grand scheme of things we are still very, very young as a civilization and we were born out of the chaos that is the planet we call home. From it’s chaotic fiery beginning, the earth has gradually se

Last night I was posed a question from my six-year old daughter about God. Before I go on with this story I just want to make something clear between you and me, religion is not a subject I am comfortable talking about on any blog, forum or anywhere in fact because I believe religion to be a very personal thing which causes much strife in our world. But this is something that really put a smile on my face yesterday. Meena, my daughter, asked, “ Where does God live.” So I repl

Inspire me with a word or phrase and I am charged with passion with my next project. Inspire me with your kindness and heart, it will be mirrored in my actions as I move ahead. Inspire me in a way that takes away my breath and I will will forever burn brightly with motivation as I aspire to make such an impact on another soul in order to help them feel the way I do. Inspiration comes in so many shapes and forms that we often do not even understand all the reasons we are inspi

They often say that great things come from diversity. They often say that it is when we are challenged the most greatness will surface. If we look through history we can see there is definitely merit to what is said. Great people like Dr Martin Luther King gave his ‘I have a dream’ speech at the height of the troubles due to segregation and racism. He also followed this wonderful speech by saying that one day we will reach the promised land, I may not be with you but we will

With a passion for everything to do with art, I often find myself lost in a maze of inspiration where I do not know which route to take. Should I write, draw, paint, photograph, sculpt or anything else that is racing around my mind to do. I would genuinely love to do everything but unfortunately time doesn’t permit when you have other commitments. But this is not an excuse. It is no excuse not to be doing one thing at least as just because you could do everything, it doesn’t

I sat on a chair contemplating where my life was going. I stared down into the glass in my hand. I felt like I was looking at a pool of water and I was the diver perched on the edge of a diving board waiting to leap. I had searched hard for love and came up empty handed, time and again. I had reached a stage in life where I would no longer chase the fantasy I had created in my mind. So my mind was clear, the fog was lifted and I felt confident that a new adventure was coming,
