Sitting here on a Saturday evening, my mind wanders over the last week. And the last months. Does it ever seem to you as if time flies by, that a week is like a day, a month like a week, and my goodness! It is almost Christmas again. And what do we have to show […]
Cancer Book
If anyone is wondering what I am doing – and why would you? – I am busy working on the first draft of my book about managing cancer. I do not know how many books about cancer are out there. Mine is a little bit different. Are you surprised? No, I thought not. You can […]
Interview With Anita
I was going to write a lot about this interview, but on consideration I would rather let the interview speak for itself. Here is the link to our meeting in Charlottesville earlier in May of this year. Please do have a careful listen. Be prepared to be amazed at this wonderful woman – and also take […]
I will no longer tolerate
I decided to use LinkedIn to post a view on the state of medical affairs. Well, just a short comment really. You can find it here
Back from USA
Well, here we are again, back at work. I had taken some time off to visit the USA – for the first time ever, I might add! – to take part in an excellent Masters learning seminar with Lurn Inc, listening to Anik Singal and Jeremy Bellotti. The highlight of my visit was, however, reconnecting […]
Spiritual Vampires
Be afraid, be very afraid! No, not really. You do not need garlic (although I highly recommend garlic for general health) nor is a crucifix of much use. Blood is not sucked. It is much worse. You know how it is when you walk into a party, and there is someone to whom you feel an […]
Cancer and the Power of the Mind
I am writing an eBook about cancer just now. About time too, I say. Perhaps just because I am now actively writing, it always seems that I am engaged in discussions which always seem to have a link to cancer. That might also be because there is such a lot of cancer throughout our society. […]
Never Give Up!
I was writing an email to a group of people today, following on from a promotion I was recommending, as part of the phase of “Mental Health” that I am working through. I thought it might interest others. Here it is: Good morning, How did you like the information you received yesterday? Personally speaking, I […]
Brain power
It stunned me to read this story about the transformation of a man. The story is available on the BBC news site (Link here – http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190411-the-violent-attack-that-turned-a-man-into-a-maths-genius ) Short story? A hit on the head (not a recommended therapeutic approach) transformed an ordinary underachieving man into a mathematical savant. Why do I find this interesting? Well, […]
Gratitude
“Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.” (Baha’u’llah) This teaching, a part of the Baha’i faith, initially puzzled me, but did not intrigue me at the time. Over the years I have pondered this, and matched the meaning with a variety of sources. It ranked there with “turn the other cheek” and other truisms […]
