The positive side of mistakes

“I made a mistake”, four words, four little words that have the power to be self destructive or self motivating. The pain and embarrassment will still be the same but the outlook and direction of recovery will vary completely on which path is chosen. This week hasn’t gone my way financially. From car repairs, toContinue reading “The positive side of mistakes”

The Universe Knows Best

It’s funny, but sometimes the smallest moment can change your mindset. A moment that is insignificant in many ways, I had been in the down cycle of energy, that made me more reflective which is never a bad thing, but the picture seemed more pessimistic than optimistic and although we were getting by I hadContinue reading “The Universe Knows Best”

Finding the time

Where does my week go?. This is the prevelant thought every Sunday night. As the grains of sand speed through the hour glass of life and it is both humbling and terrifying. Another week goes by and suddenly 2020 seems to have gone by in a flash. Soon it will be over and a newContinue reading “Finding the time”

“Be water, my friend”

A rare feeling of normality in this most crazy of times is upon me, its purely due to the world being upside down and the lack of a feeling of control for the last few weeks. Bruce Lee once spoke of “be like water, it can even break down mountains” (paraphrased) . The key isContinue reading ““Be water, my friend””

A step Back to the future

To start an apology. I was really hoping to push myself to writing a weekly blog, gaining some traction and momentum. The truth of the matter is I haven’t. Sometimes I have the time with no idea of what to say so divert to something more trivial, family oriented or just plain right lazy. SinceContinue reading “A step Back to the future”

Working at home with KIDS

Starting a business takes work, hard work. The constant planning and scheming, worrying and dreaming, fighting to give yourself a chance, a step up in life and to create something that is truly a reflection of you. Your passions and desires given centre stage in the hopes of creating a moment, a legacy, something thatContinue reading “Working at home with KIDS”

Time to take a risk

Last Sunday morning the sun hit my face to wake me from my slumber, the first thought is my boy. My eldest lad turns 7 and it was his day. As I fully open my eyes I am hit by it, an invisible wave came over me and it feels like I’ve been hit byContinue reading “Time to take a risk”

SOLD OUT

WE SOLD OUT and it felt bloody great. Then as the anxiety started to build, the mind started racing about every little detail, the day dreaming commenced and the energy became electric, this was the shot. Last Monday, I put on social media a menu for Sunday Roast dinners. The idea behind it was byContinue reading “SOLD OUT”

IN NO MANS LAND

As I drift through another week in the fog of uncertainty that is hospitality during the pandemic, it is time to take stock, figure out where I stand and what’s to come. I have had some good luck regarding a job though, the day before my interview at a supermarket I received a phone callContinue reading “IN NO MANS LAND”

LOST……?

What am I doing?, Is this the right direction?, am I going forward?, will I ever get there? Some days I feel I have control, optimism and a sense of direction. Other days I feel lost in the fog and like a child in a grown ups game. This is honesty, pure and unfiltered. I’mContinue reading “LOST……?”
