Major Turnoffs

In the game of relationships, everybody is turned off by something or the other. It may be something small like a protruding tooth or something big like an affinity of bathing with dead animals. Either way there's usually a "but" following the "he's great" description. Three of my major turnoffs were in my face recently and I took notice.

This isn't even just a turnoff from a potential romantic partner but even with new people who could turn into friends. Realising... [... read more]

Making Money From Home

Buying into the concept of Network Marketing

Mannatech, one of the reasons I started this website, is the fourth Network Marketing venture that I have been involved in. I was first introduced to the concept of Network Marketing by a friend probably more than ten years ago. At the time, even though I thought the concept was sound, it didn't entice me enough to get involved.

My second run in with the business model happened a few... [... read more]

Difficult Decisions

The last time I performed a character with relish and enjoyment was an unpaid gig going on a year ago. Prior to that....., well, I must sit and think. Despite amazing praise for my work from people both in and out of the industry, I have not been able to find fulfilling work, settling instead for commercials and non-performance opportunities. An acting trainer told me once that he found it surprising that I wasn't continually... [... read more]

Gazing At My Ass

The last time I remember heading off to a yoga class was the beginning of last year. En route I crashed my car, didn't make it to class and haven't attempted to do any yoga since. Well, that's not entirely true. I have done some yoga in my FreshStart bootcamp and during Ka Huna trainings, but those times were intermingled with other forms of exercise and body work.

Until this very night, I haven't done a full, dedicated yoga class in over a year and a half. I did... [... read more]

Sometimes the Chasm is too wide!

If you're a regular coffee drinker in South Africa, you'll be familiar with the little Hulletts sugar packs with the inspirational or motivational quotations printed on them. One such quote that caught my eye recently was "Take the leap. You can't cross a chasm in two jumps."

If you've ever leaped across a chasm, you will know that this statement is very true. Unless you're Superman or some other gravity-defying being.

I am a leapie kind of guy. My... [... read more]
