My partner and I recently stayed at a resort that was rated four and a half star. Naturally, a 4.5 star property was what we expected, but this did not appear to be the case. The reception area was empty, with nobody around to be seen that could check us in. It was a hot night, and there was no air conditioning in the room - not even a fan.

I had an interesting dream last night about Buddha, and I thought I would share it with you to give you an insight into the way that the unconscious mind communicates with us, particularly in dreams. In this dream, I was hurrying out the door and was late for a bus.  Just as I was rushing out, I noticed a painting lying on top of a shelf.  I stopped and picked up the painting.  It was a … [Read more...]

It won't be easy, but will definitely be worth it.   "One thing's for sure" I thought, "there definitely won't be a next year". There were 5 kilometers to go.
