How much chocolate does it take to show appreciation?

How much chocolate does it take to show appreciation? It seems like there have been a few aha moments during the past recession about the importance of customers. I think the most commonly offered nugget of advice I've seen countless times over the past few years has been "since the chips are down, and you're not acquiring as many customers, focus on the ones you have." On Friday I benefited from this advice in the form of a lovely surprise from my mobile carrier, O2, in the post. It was a brief thank you note, and a bar of Divine's [...]

Your body tells the truth

Your body tells the truth As part of my heartplay quest, I've begun looking into all sorts of oddities to stock my hobby pantry. Last weekend I learned how to walk on walls!

Breakfast in London: Carluccio’s Covent Garden Kicking things of with one of life's favorite rituals: breakfast. I love lingering over a great breakfast, brunch, pastry, and most of all coffee(s). As the java and conversation slowly revive, the comforting din of Sunday morning conversations and the steam of the poaching eggs envelope me with a feeling of being smack dab in the present moment. Work is light years away. There is an immediacy in the moment,  that comes oddly from slowing down and dipping my croissant in my coffee to savour each bite.    Road trips get planned, events are debriefed. Whenever [...]
