Advent Calendar Blog 2022 – Busy or distracted?
It’s my favourite time of the day. I rise before the sun, and all is quiet in the house.

Advent Calendar Blog -2022 – Leading the Changes in Your Life
We’ve often been given the metaphor of making our way down a road or path as a comparison to going though life.

Have you ever considered that no matter where in the world we live, we all have the same number of hours and days at our disposal?

“Hey Google, Play Jewel 98.5” And just like that, our favourite radio station is pulled in from the airwaves, and begins to fill the room with music, and we go about our business, having never even moved from our seat to turn on the radio.
