I do have ambition and I know I should have kept the appointment but the temptation to stay in bed this morning was overpowering. It just seemed like the right choice at the time. Besides, my decision didn’t really impact anyone, not the other party anyway … The other party? I had thought the ignored appointment will…

It wasn’t a planned stay, we happened to react to an invitation – perhaps because we were at the right place/right time, we were available. Our hosts here in Broome were planning on a 4500km road trip next morning to Brisbane and were looking for a house-sitter: “Here you go Charlie, take the keys. Look after…

Breakfast was over, I had grabbed a coffee and was about to head toward the office when the ‘phone rang. Now the other hand was busy. On the other end of the line was Tricia. Tricia had recently started a physiotherapy business and returned from holiday with what is recognised as a seasonal ‘gripe’ –…

Be helpful. It seems to me we worry a lot about how people see us… “But, I’m no expert,” I’ve heard people say. In most cases, people want a solution more than they want to worry about who you are or are not. It’s true of course, I might want my surgeon and my airline…
