This morning I was at one of my favourite West Australian beaches, City Beach. This beach has crystal clear water and white sand and is very popular with the locals. After my swim I parked myself up on the grass and spent the next hour watching the world go by. It was blissful! I was…
Read MoreThe Belittling of your Dreams
I receive personal emails from the Universe a couple of times a week. I know, cool huh! They are usually somewhere between two lines to a paragraph and they share some universal wisdom about life, love, health or wealth. They always seem to be spot on for what I need to hear at that moment…
