Discipline I once thought, was a practice for fearful losers, whom in my book who were not brave enough to live on the edge and take a risk.  This was, I am now pleased to report,  my albeit narrow and misinformed translation of this word.

I have been on the road working for quite a few weeks now, so my apologies for not being in touch for a while.   Much to my delight, the opportunity to team up with Jodie Bache McLean (Director of June Dally Watkins), and Steve Haddan (for those of you that don't know of him from his days on Channel 9, is a sports journalist, writer and comedian), presented itself.

I was sharing from the stage at a recent Step Up event for teens about the subject of Emotional Homework.  You see I was a person in my teenage and young adult life that decided to skip the life lessons set for me by Mother Nature and Father Time during this stage of life.  I thought that I could get away with not doing them and nobody would know.  My reasons for deciding to emotionally take off were varied.  In a nutshell though it was mainly because I knew my level of emotional literacy was already very poor and felt sure I would fail, so saw no sense in maki Read more »

What a privilige I experienced last night at the launch of the very first Emotional Fitness Master Class in down town Bris Vegas. 

For those of you that were there with me, thank you so much for choosing to share the next stage of the Emotional Fitness journey into the wonderful world of  heart work.  I am so looking forward to the next fifteen weeks and to treking the wonders of the human heart with you. Read more »
