I was talking with a good friend last night, and she mentioned that I was a great programmer. I found that a little surprising, as despite the unlikeliness of a lot of what I achieve, I don't generally think of myself in this way. pic by striatic I've thought a lot more deeply about this since, …

A couple of years ago, when I first discovered EFT, it changed my life so much, so quickly, I immediately went around telling everyone I knew about it (Yes yes, I realise now how dopey & threatening this kind of behaviour is, I was just super excited) I remember one conversation particularly vividly. Telling a …

Or is it all just patterns, repeating over and over? As you may be aware, I recently went through a breakup. As I've been processing this, I've started to see, very clearly, how little of what happened with the ex was actually about her. I saw: Patterns where she behaved identically to several different earlier relationships (in …
Last night about 9pm I had a fruit salad. It was tasty. What wasn't so clever was putting raw chocolate sauce on it (cacao powder, coconut oil, raw honey). I went to sleep around 1–1:30ish. At 3:30 I woke up, wide awake, and could NOT get back to sleep. Ok, so cacao late at night = bad …

Australian Aboriginals have a concept they call "Dreamtime" (or, more accurately "The Dreaming"). Very loosely speaking, this is the infinite spiritual cycle that parallels our reality, influencing & creating it. It created the world we live in, and continues to live on, in the present & the future. Now, what's even more interesting is the …
"If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind?" — Buddha I heard this quote the other day (thanks @tinybuddha), and it hit like a ton of bricks. pic by Trove Designs When I was growing up, I was always told "If you haven't got anything nice …
I saw this today: Yep, a glorious rainbow! Well, that's one end of it. But take a gander at the other end: Have a look at that!! The end of the rainbow is in front of the building. This means, of course, that there's a pot o' gold somewhere in my street! Woohoo! Amusingly, there's already …

Who cares who's right about Nature vs Nurture? The bottom line is — our parents affect us. Genetically, it's pretty obvious. Your parents are tall? You play basketball. They're black? It's a pretty safe bet (although not 100%, amusingly enough) that you are too, and so on. Emotionally (or environmentally/sociologically), it's a little more complex. And, …
So here's a quick trick I learned recently. It's using Neuro Linguistic Programming. But don't worry about that, it's super simple. I was shown this in terms of breaking bad shopping habits, but I figured, since I'm trying out a couple of weeks of 100% raw, why not use it on food places around town …

Winter is finally thawing into spring, the days are slowly getting brighter. It's finally warm enough to venture onto the balcony at dusk. This is what beckoned to me: (click for larger version) From here I get a three hundred degree view of this every evening. Nothing quite like being overwhelmed by the splendour of nature. …
