Prior COVID life was somewhat predictable. You just got on with it, and whatever “it” was – success would more than likely follow. Then there was the long middle circa 2022-2023 where outcomes were not favorable for millions of people. Suddenly, operating a business became a daunting challenge. No rule book. Just a constant grind….

Introducing the Forum
While the internet has a wealth of resources, we wanted to create a safe place for people of all walks of life to have a place to come and share life-events, ask the hard questions, and be encouraged by the words of others along the way on the similar journeys. The solution was to create…
Look Up!
Night before last, we looked up to the stars and right at that minute saw a long train of lights traveling across the night sky. They were closely packed together, and at first glance looked a little ominous. A quick Google search eased the angst – Starlink satellites. Last night, I went outside at approximately…
Post Updates
Over the coming weeks we will be cleaning out the archives. There are a lot of images and files that are missing, after a long absence and neglect, links have become unreachable, so if you’re going through the archives, you might notice a broken link or missing content – we’re addressing this and will have…
2015 Present Day
Synopsis: a condensed statement or outline (as of a narrative or treatise). We did make an urgent trip back to Zimbabwe at the end of November to spend time with Nancy’s Mom, diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. It was a special time to be together with family, and to be a support through this difficult…
Welcome to 2025
I haven’t posted anything in well over 10 years. I decided in 2015 to take a step back from the proverbial limelight. A lot has taken place since then. I left the corporate world in 2018, and went back into business in the world of print. It’s been an interesting journey, and perception has changed,…
Victory in Print
The year is 2015 and I sit here wondering what Johannes Gutenberg and I might have had in common. Gutenberg’s year of birth is not precisely known but was most likely around 1398. Around 1439, Gutenberg was involved in a financial misadventure making polished metal mirrors. It was in Strasbourg in 1440 that Gutenberg is…
Less is More
Minimalism defined: A school of abstract painting and sculpture that emphasizes extreme simplification of form, as by the use of basic shapes and monochromatic palettes of primary colors, objectivity, and anonymity of style. Use of the fewest and barest essentials or elements, as in the arts, literature, or design. I like the idea of extreme…
I Resolve
Happy 2015! It’s become the norm to make a new year resolution, along the lines of “I am going to stop this” or “my life goals for this year are going to be…” Interesting enough though, very few resolutions are adequately embraced for the long haul, and some within a few weeks throw in the…
Short Stack Order
Bon Jovi sang a song about it, along the lines of “we’re half way there”. Journey came close to the end goal with “Don’t stop believing.” And then there’s the massively deep philosophical “glass is either half full or half empty” conundrum. We are just a little shy of reaching our end of year goal…
