Robin Sharma

Have just read cover to cover in one day, The Greatness Guide by Robin 
Sharma.
101 Lessons for making what's good in work and life even better.

Highly recommend it.

He also wrote The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari which is also a damn fine 
read.

Favourite chapters/ quotes from The Greatness Guide...

The Steve Jobs Question "What would I do if this was thelast night of 
my life?"
An unforgettable quote from Jay Z. "I'm not a businessman, I'm a 
business, man".
The person who experiences most wins.
Speak like a superstar.
Problems reveal genius
Think like a CEO.
Be wise, early rise.
Learn more to earn more.
Drink Coffee with Ghandi.
Be A Rockstar at Work.


Superb stuff. Feeling super charged and ready to rock!

Charlee

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Weimeraner Charlee...
10 on the 13th December 2012

She's lasted longer than a few friendships, a few relationships and a marriage.
Trusty, loyal, my best friend, beautiful and abundant with unconditional love.
She's with a new family now and they love her.
I miss her loads!

Seeing her this week for a birthday treat!

To Whom It May Concern: HEATHER SUTTIE

Heather Suttie came to help me as volunteer with orphans and vulnerable children in Kind Heart Africa orphanage centre at Chanika – Buyuni - Tanzania.  She came to that place at necessary time which we need some body to help me to fund arising and make collaboration with some other people and organizations.

As I wish she worked hard and passed this information to many others. As result of that many people came to visit the centre and well connected.

Our children are at the centre welcoming her always. They love to stay with her for a long time. She is talking wonderful story to them and her teachings for kids very wonderful.

Therefore I am very happy to receive her service again and again to the needy children in Africa. It is a blessing for them.

Also I very appreciate her story about Children in Africa.

We thank you for all

Buddha and all spiritual beings protect and help you!

Thank you and long life!

Richard Gough

Top former footballer and all round top guy ( in my opinion & experience ) is going to help with my Kind Heart Africa Storybook. Yippee!!

Watch this space.. this could be good!

Home..

Happy to be at home, here in cold & sunny Glasgow/Coatbridge.
Using the computer in the library as my mac book is in getting fixed!
Getting ready for the forthcoming Say NO To PLASTIC vintage, charity & craft sale
on Sunday 27th November.

I am so blessed and grateful to have a wonderful friend in Lisa Bonner who is a super star
and has been hosting the sales since I have been in Tanzania for the past 5 months!
And she is a new baby, Matilda and 4 year old Emily to look after and she;s just started school!

Haven't been feeling tip tops since I came back.. all that deet and anti malaria malarkey, though I was super fortunate that I didn't get malaria, wasn't robbed ( though phone got nicked ) or hurt or felt threatened.
Utterly adored every moment of my time there and I can't wait to return!
So many amazing adventures, wonderful people and majestically beautiful landscapes.

I miss Sarah, Tonic, Meswin, Kessy, Anita, Abby, Jim, Pannasekara, Graham, Asana, Mandisa, Bilen and all the other lovely people I met, not to mention the kids at the Kind Heart Africa School. Think of them a lot! And i heard today from John Hudson that its been raining for 10 days straight!??

Cold and sunny here.. weird : )
