Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth – the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in ones favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, Begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it”.

(Keeping this one) You might remember months ago when we came back from our motorcycle ride to Spain and I said we had too much stuff? I started to de-clutter and about two months later I brought ten bags of books to … Continue reading →

Aaah! Where’s the baby?

Posted on September 21, 2011 by

(Table top view) The son is cooking dinner so I can sit back and contemplate the sky while listening to the sounds and smelling the smells of lasagne. It seems like only yesterday that I was panicking because I thought … Continue reading →
