Why Do We Need To Find Acceptance?
Why Do We Need To Find Acceptance? Allow me to tell you two true stories that have played out in my life. They link together in a funny sort of way which I’ll explain as I go, and beg the question – why do we need to find acceptance? The first happened in 2016. This is a period of my life […]
30 Day Challenge- Parts Work
30 Day Challenge- Parts Work How many days completed- 28 I’m always doing 30-day challenges. I’m not sure why 30 days. I’ve seen other people do it I suppose, and 30 days is a month, give or take.

The Unnatural Human Amnesia

I have mixed feelings about what I see. Sometimes I read with admiration at what is being revealed, and sometimes I judge people as attention seekers or as […]
Coming Back To Yourself

Very often, the person we are being or the state we find ourselves in is something we desire to move immediately away from. From what I can make out, birds don’t delude themselves about their […]
Lifting The Film And Seeing Myself
Lifting The Film And Seeing Myself (3 lessons I learnt from All The Way To The Finish Line) Last week, my now great friend, Santiago Piqueres (filmmaker and producer of the documentary….and this new website), and I, had the pleasure of hosting around 30 of our close friends, family and clients at my place of work, Well Bath Health and […]
