REVIEW Years ago I started as a new manager at a firm I'd been working with. I started having panic attacks all the time. My heart was irregular or racing. I felt terrible. Terrible that I wasn't getting my head around my new role. That I was letting it get to me. I couldn't sleep … Continue reading Why bother with the dreaded decaf?

Mornings rituals
The sun meets the harbour bright and white. I cover my eyes squinting through the rays to watch the tug boat docking by the boardwalk. "Good morning" calls out the captain as he leans out from the wheelhouse. "A bit nippy".
