Today I learnt how to meditate. I've mentioned that I've been doing this success without stress program and as it so happens, a part of this program is meditation. I have been avoiding this training for four years as the thought of meditation doesn't inspire me at all. Having tried once in the past, I …

Time for family
This weekend we cleared all the superfluous stuff in our calendar and made time to spend together as a family. Nowithstanding a first birthday in the park which gave us a taste of spring to come, we came home and lolled around for the rest of the afternoon. We then headed out to dinner before …
