Trust: how important is it in our everyday lives?

I suspect like many people, currently I am struggling with trusting people in power to do the right thing for the country. So often it seems that many of their actions are about personal positioning to remain in power rather than common sense to improve the quality of everybody’s life.

In the UK this has come into sharp focus with the Brexit negotiations. Much of what was promised is not in the exit deal. Were we not able to negotiate these items or has the Government broken trust? We all appreciate it is a negotiation so we will not get all that we want. To ensure trust is maintained, clear communications are required. read more

Black Friday: do you like to receive gifts at no cost?

Black Friday is nearly upon us again. Where has that year gone…

Is your inbox filling up with offers for Black Friday. Mine is without doubt. Have I been so click happy all year that I am now on so many email lists that I lost count?

My inbox is so full that I am finding it difficult to sift out the work and family emails from those that offer me a gift. It is driving me crazy.

When someone comes into your life unexpectedly, look for the gift that person has come to receive from you. To come into someone’s life is a privilege and comes with a purpose. read more

Feeling tired? Take this simple action to balance your energy

Remembrance Sunday for the end of World War I is this weekend. Personally I had not fully appreciated the scale of the losses and the impact on many communities. I was moved by a map of Newcastle which showed a red dot for each person who died. I was amazed at how many there were in each street. Some households must have lost father and sons. I cannot begin to imagine how you cope with such overwhelming losses.

The ‘Shrouds of the Somme’ exhibit by Rob Heard installed at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London conveys the scale of loss at the Battle of the Somme. There is a sea of shrouded dolls with each one representing an individual whose body was not found after the battle. The figures go on and on and is a poignant reminder of the impact of war. read more
