The red notebook

It has been suggested to me that I need to be much more interactive with my brand new shiny website – The person that suggested this said, “You have so much material – So share it with the world!”

One thing I have always said is that it is always useful to carry a small notebook with you – Those that know me know that mine’s red and within the 60 I’ve amassed over the years are all the ideas that have translated into my books and creative ventures

Just looking through No. 59 and the core of the book I’m writting now jumps from every page

Quite often I would never have remembered the insight, or concept quickly added as it dropped into my waiting consciousness – So I urge you, as I recently urged a group of students I’d been invited to talk to, get yourself a notebook you can easily carry around with you and capture your muse before it delicately slips away

Being yourself

I love it when people speak their truth – It has an honesty and freshness to it – It certainly captivates and holds your attention / my attention – So I loved it when I was talking to a client recently and they said, “Arogance is my forte!”

How cool is that? – They also happen to be incredibly good at what they do – Don’t hide your light – Let it shine

A daily gem

Chinese proverb heard earlier today – ‘Listen to all, plucking a feather from each passing goose, but follow no one absolutely’ – Please consider me but a passing goose!

Not the North Downs

I wanted to be on the Glorious North Downs when I did my first remote ‘Blog’ – Alas –
I now know how to do it though – So from my front room in Tooting here’s to the next message from ‘Leith Hill’ and the Monk that inspired Chapter 19
Best wishes – Neil
