I recently made the decision to rekindle my interest in art, more specifically, drawing with coloured pencils. As a result I found myself sorting through some old art supplies which had been in storage. As I was flipping through the pages of one of my sketch books, three pages fell [...]
It has been some time since I have felt inclined to do any writing. It is not that I have not had inspiration, or been lacking in things to write about, it’s just that I have been too busy doing to spend time writing about doing. Indeed, my life has [...]
It has been more than one month since I last wrote and article for this blog. That is a very long time in the world off the internet, and it has had a couple of consequences. The most visible is that my RSS subscribers have dropped off, back to about [...]
Some time ago, long enough that I can’t remember exactly, but close to a year, a good friend of mine invited me out to a seminar on a Tuesday evening. He didn’t tell me what it was, only that he thought I would really enjoy it, and that he would [...]
It almost seems funny to be reviewing such a famous tarot deck. I consider it rather like writing a review of The Wizard of Oz. But while I find it hard to imagine that there are very many people who have not seen that movie, and fewer still who are [...]
There are hundreds of articles on how to choose a tarot deck. Every book on tarot has a chapter dedicated to this topic, every website has a section about it, and every person has an opinion about it. So why another article on this done to death topic? Because I [...]
I first discovered tarot cards when I was thirteen years old. Actually that’s not entirely true, I had seen them, and been fascinated by them several years earlier, but I was thirteen before I held a deck in my hand and really discovered what they were. When you are thirteen, [...]
We all have a little voice in our heads that does its best to keep us on track. It tends to nag is a bit. Sometimes it asks us to do things that don’t really seem possible, and certainly not easy. It’s not one to take no for an answer, [...]
Eckhart Tolle wrote a very good book called The Power of Now, a book which I had some very mixed feelings on. Actually it is probably more correct to say I have some mixed feelings about its author, but in either case the overall message of the book is fantastically [...]
If you really do not know what you want in life, then maybe it’s time to take a break from you life entirely. When you are trapped in your day to day, it is often difficult or even impossible to achieve the clarity necessary to discover your purpose in life, [...]
Many people at some point in their life find themselves asking, “what is my purpose in life?”. This question may be followed up with questions like, “why am I here?”, and “is this all there is?”. Most of us can be divided into two distinct groups. Among the first group [...]
Look around you. Look at your friends, family, and even your co-workers. How many of them would you say love going to work every day? How many of them do you believe finish every day with a sense of satisfaction and a feeling of joy? Now ask yourself how many [...]
I know you have a dream. In fact, you probably have several dreams. Perhaps you dream of travelling to Spain, or owning a Lexus. Maybe you simply dream of having your own business. Perhaps you dream is to retire somewhere tropical and spend your days basking in the afternoon sun [...]
If you haven’t heard of The Power of Now before reading this article, chances are you would have eventually. It’s become a bit of a phenomenon you see, well beyond the level of your average “new age” book. This is due to author Eckhart Tolle’s apparent lack of religious affiliation, [...]
