(By Jeremy Orbell)
The evocative phrase: ‘Living every day with passion’ conjures up wildly different images for many people. Living is life, pure and simple, and your perception or definition of life is determined by your past experiences and your current thought patterns.

Stating the obvious…
I was going through emails, filing, deleting, re-reading – and I came across one about Ashley Kurek and his new book. What really struck me was the following quote, which I have heard before but hadn’t known to whom it was attributed:
