An empathetic work station


Just as the way you eat is more important than the food you are eating, so the way you live is more important than the individual ingredients of your life. 


The lovely Jane

an inspirational message from the Capital


Find your Love


You know that dream you carry around with you each day?

Its kinder important 

Wasn’t it what you were put on planet earth to do?

They say everyone has a calling, can you still hear it? 

Doesn’t it eat away at you?

That treadmill you are on, did it ever get too much? 

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to do your own thing?

Did you ever feel time was passing you by? 

Just how many days have you left before your last? 

Did you ever wonder about stuff like that? 

Did you ask yourself ‘what was stopping you?’ 

There is never a right time. 

You will be too old. Too young. Too something or other. 

When was the last time you took a risk? 

Did you remember how alive it made you feel? 

There are no guarantees of success. 

It’s not called a leap of faith for nothing. 

It’s not too last, honest. 

Jump. 

You might fall. 


You might fly!
