Two of my core values infect my work:Cheerfulness – which means I can always see the positive side of adversity, and non-attachment – which means “it is what it is”.
I am passionately interested in how to ensure we leave the world a better place for our grandchildren.Ignition – Creating a Better World for our Grandchildren provides a framework and prompts as to how we can shift our mindset from scarcity to abundance – a necessity if we are to safeguard our planet.Click here for information on how to purchase this and other items…
