Over the last few weeks we have been collecting blankets as part of the Winter Warmer Blanket Drive which is an initiative that was started by Violette Sohaili Kee-tui that we have partnered with. Violette has such a huge heart for helping the less privileged people in our community and her commitment to charitable work […]
What makes a leader better? Leadership roles can be both rewarding and frustrating. I am sure that most people in leadership roles find themselves thinking about how they could lead better or lead differently. The other night I was thinking and tweeted one of my “Leadership Thoughts” which said, “Good leadership also requires compliance from […]
Pursue your dreams with passion! Your dream is not going to come to you, you’ve got to go to it! The lion who just sat around expecting the zebra to present itself for dinner will always complain that he is hungry and the conditions aren’t right for him! See yourself through the fiery eyes of […]
I often get a glimpse of how God sees me as His son when I look at my children. When they don’t listen, I ask God if this is how I have been with Him and He reveals to me ways I also haven’t listened. The same goes for when I look at my kids […]

Competition is the way of survival. One of the reasons I believe that sport is good for children is that it teaches them how to compete. Competition exists in every aspect of our lives and we will not succeed or improve if we don’t know how to compete. Whenever my children have running races up […]
“A gift in secret pacifies anger” Proverbs 21:14 When fights and misunderstandings happen, its easy to sulk and stay cross for a long time. It is physically not good for our bodies to stay in a state of anger for too long. Our bodies release a dread hormone called cortisol which attacks our immune system, […]
Day 31 – Proverbs 31 “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies” Proverbs 31:10 Chick flicks portray a very unrealistic expectation of relationships, love and marriage. Its all about the chemistry and meeting Mr Right. The fairy-tale ending is not how it works in real life and things don’t […]
