What’s your calendar like? Do you run a tight schedule with back-to-back meetings? Or do you try to keep it easy with something every now and then? We recently travelled to the UK to look at schools and I tried to keep the appointments spread out with space in...

What does it take to catch up with old friends? A friend visited us from the UK recently. He had been wanting to come for a few years but he had tried to time it together with another friend. This date didn’t work for him, that date didn’t work for the other friend...

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again and again… if only to remind myself. Schedule it, stick it, put it, whatever you want to call it into your calendar. Otherwise, it may never get done. For some people, especially Obligers (1), those who need accountability,...

A few weeks back, I was reading about Emma Raducanu who had won the US Open. I loved watching the highlights of the game seeing these 2 teenagers on the court. How inspiring to see such young people already at the top of the game, with such expertise and dedication....
