3. TODAY IN MY LIFE
Having lost clients due to circumstances not to do with me was something of a disappointment yesterday, made worse by my website and e-mail going down for 24 hours. These things are however par-for-the-course for a small business/practitioner, and it's important not to give up or wallow in self-pity when such disappointments occur.

On the nuclear family front, conversely everyone had a great day, and with Son out for the early evening, a particularly energetic and enjoyable blue tablet-assisted hit-the-spot lovemaking session with Missus was indulged in. Home continues to be a blissful place of love, laughter and thanks to Son, music. I continue to relish every moment of this my character's "Golden Age"

My my self-development goals remain the same - to market for more clients for my Practice, and mentally to achieve Total Internal Silence, and direction by intuition.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU

8. TRIVIA
The worst continent for child sexual abuse is Africa, where 34.4% of people questioned report abuse as children. Europe at 9.2% is statistically safest for children, probably because it is reported and responded to more often, making opportunities for abuse with impunity much fewer.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Gratitude makes a person modest. A sense of gratitude expands the heart.
