  • Career Day

    Namaste I was recently invited to participate in a Career Day at a Secondary School. Back in our time, we were given information sheets in Third Form and these were to be filled out at home with the guidance of our parents. So the discussion was mainly on the home front as to what your…

  • Abundant Livelihood

    Namaste No one can pray for another.  I overheard that statement as I worked with my client.  A gentleman was debating prayer with two ladies.  One silently listened, the other constantly interjected.  I understood what he was saying.  Prayer is personal.  It requires your heart, lips, and voice.  It is like breathing.  No one can…

  • Intellectual Distress

    Namaste Each time I go through the business handout I wonder whether I am qualified to talk about that subject.  When I look around at what is still potential I have to wonder if it is that I am lacking the social, communication, and reasoning competencies needed for success in this career.  I have clients…

  • Tobago Lime

    Namaste First things first.  Clarification.  I was asked if my last blog was directly referring to a certain person.  No.  As I would have said some time before, whatever I write is my internal dialogue; reflections and projections that we are processing; that we being us – me, myself, and I.  It is never directed…

  • Massage as an act of Kindness

    Namaste I was gently advised, regarding my remark about Jesus being my Teacher, that Jesus is not merely a Teacher, but that He is the Son of God. Yes, I heard that before. Someone sought to give us a picture of God by stating that He knows what’s beyond the heavens and the earths (yes,…
