Greetings
Welcome to our newsletter, particularly if you’re a new subscriber.  Our policy is to offer a change from other newsletters which do demand an awful lot of reading…


Quotations of the week

That person who is hardest to forgive is the one who can teach you the greatest lessons.
Louise Hay

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
Douglas Adams


Three minute videos of the week

Laura Trice offers a startling idea in three minutes


Musical number of the week

Jeremy’s favourite folksong, She moved through the fair, sung by Michael Londra – even better than Fairport Convention!


Story of the week

Two travelling monks reached a river where they met a young woman.  Wary of the current, she asked if they could carry her across.  One of the monks hesitated, but the other quickly picked her up onto his shoulders.  Together the monks strode through the river until they reached the other side.  The monk set the prostitute down on the other bank. She thanked him and continued her journey.

As the monks continued on their way, one was brooding and preoccupied.  Unable to hold his silence, he spoke with anger.  “Brother, our spiritual training teaches us to avoid any contact with women but you picked that one up on your shoulders and carried her!”

“Brother,” the second monk replied, “I set her down on the other side, while you are still carrying her.”


Book of the week

Six thinking hats
Edward de Bono

Fascinating book offering sensible and common sense ways of working with people.  Great to extrapolate from the workplace to all situations – like a family – where a number of people are trying to reach a decision or work out what to do.


Contributions always gratefully received.

If you have been, thank you for reading this
