"You don’t get old and stop moving. You stop moving, and that’s why you get old." This isn’t just a quote. It’s a warning—and an opportunity. At 65, I decided to prove that age was a number, not a sentence. With a little discipline, a lot of curiosity, and a mindset wired for systems (thanks [...]
A parcel was sent from Poland. Inside: clothes for grandchildren, lovingly selected by a grandmother. Value: £40. Cost to send: £16. Customs charge to receive: £15.96. Welcome to the bureaucratic absurdity of modern "logistics." Once upon a time, parcels were about connection. A thread between generations, cultures, hearts. Today, that thread is entangled in a [...]
At 65, most people expect to slow down. I chose to speed up. Eighteen months ago, I made a decision to reclaim my health. Not through expensive programs or punishing workouts, but through consistency, simplicity, and smart habits—all built around a local £35/month gym and a routine I created for myself.

But this story isn’t just about fitness. It’s about something deeper—a mindset that’s essential if you’re building anything in mid-life, especially an online [...]
For 27 years, my partner was told she would never drive by 'professional' driving instructors. Let that sink in. Twenty-seven years of trying. Of switching instructors. Of repeating the cycle of hope and disappointment. Even her own father and former father-in-law, a professional instructor himself, tried to help her, but still—no license. It became a [...]
I spent the first nine years of my life in Kuwait. A place of sun, an Anglo-American culture, and structure. Life there was comfortable and familiar. But everything changed when I was sent to boarding school in Warwick, England. The junior boarding house master, Roger Usherwood, was ex-army with an army hair-cut and rigid, upright [...]
For 15 years, I struggled. I started in internet marketing back in 2009, full of hope, ideas, and a strong work ethic. I took courses, followed the gurus, tried every shiny strategy that promised results. But year after year, I couldn’t crack it. No real traction. No real income. Just frustration, setbacks, and countless hours [...]
