Ship’s captain

Todays "hug" shows a creature on a beach. Behind him the waves are choppy and rising high out of the water. Two little paper boats can be seen bobbing up and down, swept along by the fast current. The creature on the beach, however, has one foot firmly on the ground and he faces away... Continue Reading →

Releasing anger

If we did a poll asking who here has ever been angry, I'm pretty sure it would be a 100% yes vote. Anger is a completely natural human emotion when we are wronged, betrayed or mistreated in some way. The problems start when we can't let it go. Holding on to anger is like grasping... Continue Reading →

Laughter’s medicine

There's a well known saying about how laughter is medicine for the soul. It lifts the spirits, decreases stress, and increases endorphins (known as 'feel good hormones') to the brain.

Perhaps you've had words with someone and are replaying the conversation in your head. Thinking about what you could have said and regretting what came out of... Continue Reading →

Map of life

Shakespeare said, "the course of true love never did run smooth". But the same could be said about life. It's never plain sailing. We can be bobbing along in our boat down the stream of life. The sun's out and everything feels great. Then all of a sudden along comes a storm, threatening to capsize... Continue Reading →

A life manual

Wouldn't it be great if the answers to life were in the back of a book, just like Charlie Brown ponders in this quote. Or would it? I recently got interested in Sudoku puzzles. I've been finding them quite relaxing and a way to unwind, taking my mind off what's gone on during the day.... Continue Reading →
