Are there really failed marriages and relationships or do we just change? I met an interesting man while travelling in Africa. We stayed at his hotel on a remote island in Mozambique. It had been his dream to run a resort. His great passion is the sea. Before he built his hotel he did many…

Mindless phrases like “And how are you today?…” are driving me nuts. Or the new horror “Yeah/ No…” It’s one of the banes of my life – mindless social phrases. I’ve been on the phone for ages waiting for a call-centre stranger to pick up. I want to cut to the chase: to find out…

How it is that some relationships stand the test of time and others just don’t? I RAN into an old friend the other day. It was a chance meeting. I consider this woman one of my true soul mates; someone I’ve shared so much with during the early days of my career. We have a…
