IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP……….

I went to a talk that was given last night by the human behaviourist, Dr John De Martini, what a fascinating guy! Cannot say the he”s the most impressive speaker I have ever heard, but the knowledge and the wisdom that he imparts, more than makes up for it. Wow, so interesting to listen to him speak. He’s the guy that spoke intermittently in the Rhonda Byrne movie, The Secret, so he’s been around for some 40 odd years. he spoke about Values last night, and how we need to become familiar with the values of those close

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

I will be spending a considerable amount of my time this week, preparing for the several workshops that I am conducting over the next few weeks.
