One of the greatest things about my relationship with my wife is that we have a lot of “in” jokes, little one and two word sayings that trigger memorable or funny times in our life that we shared together. I don’t know if all couples share in this crazy game, or if it’s [...]

Sometimes I’ve heard my kids come out with statements such as ‘Oh, I’m so stressed right now’ or ‘you’re making me feel stressed’. In reality, these feelings of stress typically become a lot greater as we get older and our responsibilities change, and when I hear my kids make such statement I often think [...]

The key is finding a balance so that your natural responses to fear are justified and managed. (Note - screaming and leaping on the table when a [...]
Emotions are one of the great parts of being human!
Think about the faces you make when you drop one of your partner’s favourite things and it breaks - you look up at each other…. what is conveyed? Anger? Saddness? Irritation? In that split second, your facial expression tells a thousand [...]
It’s an interesting question - am I happy with life? The answer to this is so subjective. Take two people and put them in identical situations - you may find that one person feels happy and fulfilled, and the other person feels like something is missing.
