This Time it’s Personal
What. A. Week.
It’s a rare event for me to be lost for words but this week has been so intense, I can’t even write about it yet. Here’s the synopsis – and I hope to get back to fill in the details later. The week begins with a hissy-fit meltdown brought on by neglect of self-care. Mucho [...]
Working toward higher goals. Sharing the love. Happy V day.
I wrote this piece on love, valentines and quantum theory last year. I re-read it today to see if I’d changed my thinking on love – and was surprised and heartened to find it’s still pretty spot-on. Quantum love and the essence of life I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day. Like so [...]
My Ten for (20)10: Priorities for a life well lived.
I mentioned last month that I’d started on my Ten For 10 – the ten things I wanted to be a priority this year. The list is still fairly much as it was when I first jotted it down 1. Being a loving partner – still so much to learn… 2. Write – about everything. [...]
A new year. Hopes. Dreams. Possibilities.
I love January. Like December, it’s hot, humid and not conducive to fervent activity. It differs however in that because so many are on holidays, it can be lazy month with days spent on the couch watching tennis and waiting for the afternoon thunderstorm to roll in. It can be a month where a whole [...]
Toodle pip 2009. It was swell.
The following piece was written at the beginning of the month for Design Notes. I’ve added a post-script to bring it up to date. REFLECTING ON 2009 December is the time of year when we reflect on the previous 12 months. It’s a time to acknowledge what we’ve achieved and what we’ve learned, to celebrate, [...]
Finding meaning and joy beyond the hype of the festive season
Christmas became a cultural experience for me where I ventured into a different land. A land I was quite familiar with, as I knew the customs and rituals, but I saw it with new eyes.
This (Blogless) Life
It’s very sad but I think my relationship to blogging has entered the “old friend” realm. You know, the one where “we really must catch up” is something that’s said with much feeling and good intention but rarely followed through. You may have noticed that the blog posts at WestonCulture have become few and far [...]
Nothing says Happy Holiday like a bowl of Coco Pops
No, I haven’t gone on the payroll of megafoodcorp. I’ve just got back from holiday out bush where the only mental activity required was deciding what to eat … for breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner… Yes. It was gruelling. It took exactly five days for me to feel relaxed and “on holiday”. That [...]
