Recently I returned to a well-known large department store to exchange an item of clothing which was too small for me (I know…I need to lose weight). Whilst I was waiting in the “Goods Return” section, I noticed an adjoining office through its door which was standing slightly ajar (the one in the photo). At …
I think the original song “Girls just want to have fun” was sung by Cindy Lauper. It is very catchy and upbeat, which are qualities captured by this image of girls at a party, who no doubt also just want to have fun. Go girls! And I don’t mean that disparagingly …one of the “girls” …
The photo which serves as today’s life lesson was taken whilst I was walking through a middle class suburb one morning. I was suddenly struck by this striking tree out of the corner of my eye. It made me stop in my tracks whilst I caught my breath at its remarkable colours. Up until that …
One Saturday morning I was looking after my granddaughter, Jayda, aged 15 months at the time. We happened to be standing outside a shopping mall nearby a taxi rank.

Other lessons will prove to be much more insightful, perhaps even creating an “Aha” moment! Look, these opportunities to learn life lessons will only serve us if we …
Look at the photo from this week’s life lesson. At first glance, it simply portrays a typical everyday scene from what could be your shower. It is in fact, my shower. Recently I was enjoying a relaxing shower when I reached for my soap on the shelf, and was dismayed to find that it appeared …
When you first look at this photo you may find yourself thinking that this is an unconventional position for someone to pose for a photo. In fact, the elderly lady is not posing for a photo. She is positioning herself in the most comfortable way possible to read her tablet with the least amount of …
Two photos. The same person. Cause and effect. Input and output. A well-known principle. We reap what we sow.
