Work is a fact of life – we all have to work, make money and build things. We get so few precious years of freedom. Where I live (in Sydney, Australia) the deal is that you work from age 18 to age 70 (our retirement age is currently set at 68 and is going up!). […]
Are too many passwords driving you crazy?
So many devices and so many passwords. I have to say that I have had a frustrating time with passwords lately. My damn Yahoo account was hacked last week – causing me lots of stress. Basically the virus sent an email to all my contacts and actually siphoned some of the subject lines I had […]
How to find and talk to your spiritual guides
They are there, somewhere. I have been told that every religion believes in angels, in one way or another.

Candy Crush and my addictive adult gaming habit: are you next?
I used to love computer games. I grew up in the 1990s when computers were just starting to hit their stride with colourful graphics, realistic artwork and interactivity. My uncle and my father were huge computer nerds, and still are, well into their 50s and 60s. The upshot of this was always having the latest […]
