Success Mindset

You can achieve anything if you set your mind to it

Relay for Life

When I checked my email this morning, I was moved to tears by this little gesture.

On November 6th, I put a post on my blog about the death of our guide dog Buddy, who had finally succumbed to lung cancer.

This morning I got this email with these photos from Sonya: 

“These are a few pictures from the Relay for Life mother and I were at today. They had a candle hope ceremony so we lit a candle for Buddy. I hope you like them.”

Central Railway Station Sydney

We just got back from Sydney at 3am this morning. We had been up there for business, and the trip was good, but man are we tired.

Ok, so it is partly my fault because we left Sydney at midnight, but what really took it out of us was the hotel we had stayed in the night before.

We had stayed in this hotel a few times before and it wasn’t bad, so when we arrived at the hotel and were very kindly upgraded to a bigger room, it sounded good. Unfortunately the room was on the opposite side of the hotel to where we had stayed before, and it overlooked central railway station.

Do you have any idea how many noisy trains there are in the wee small hours of the morning!

Memories of the Tsunami in Thailand

As the relief teams from New Zealand, Australia and the US head for the Pacific in the wake of the latest Tsunami, I recall the last devastating tsunami as thought it was just the other day.

I was on holiday in Thailand a few weeks before the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2005. And because of my very recent trip, I was very focused on getting any news I could at the time.

I found four photos from news coverage that were taken at the identical spots where I had taken photos only weeks before.

My before shot of this spot, you’ll find it on my blog at Memories of a Tsunami

On this spot there was a small food trolly, tended by a very nice old lady with the help of a small girl. To the right of the photo is a school yard. The school was destroyed along with the village. 90% of the population were lost to the sea.

My thoughts and best wishes are with those in the Samoa and Indonesia now.

Billy McMahon at Concord Bowling Club

I found this old photo of my grandfather Jack Edwards, shaking hands with Prime Minister Billy McMahon at Concord Bowling Club.
It would have been in 1971 or 1972.

Maybe someone knows when Billy McMahon visited the club?
