We are told that to live a fulfilled life we must follow our dreams.

FORGIVING YOURSELF FIRST Aug 29, 2019

I believe so deeply that if you cannot forgive yourself, you cannot move on with a life filled with purpose, determination, and even some joy.

In fact, not only is it not a selfish act to forgive yourself first, but it is a selfless act because it frees you up to help not only yourself, but those in your life and then who knows where that leads.

In this week's episode I propose we take this philosophy to heart and do so as soon as we can.

The reason, it is only "good people" that have an issue with this and we need "good people" to be at the forefront of it all

Maybe It's Time To Let The Old Ways Die Aug 04, 2019

It was time for a change, and I knew what the change had to be. After doing Between the Lines, with guests and their books, for the past 23 years I needed to have a more personal relationship with you. Plus, I felt passionately that I had to delve deeper into many more ideas, topics and themes that were not always in books, but are of great importance during our current times and to our personal lives. My decision therefore is to do solo episodes in order to engage more directly with you, and you with me. I will also explore things such as online chats, podcasts and other resources to connect with you on a more enriching level. I look forward to you joining me on this journey.
