A Wilderness Experience
A WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE We’re in the season of Lent. Living in an arid land myself, the word wilderness which is starkly associated with Lent is not foreign to me, both visually and metaphorically.

Women In Leadership
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP My leadership landscape spans nearly 50 years, beginning as early as High School.

Selfie Stick & Me
SELFIE STICK & ME Imagine an archaeological dig site in 1000 years time. A long aluminium stick with a claw on one end and button on the other is found. After much research it is discovered to be a ‘selfie-stick’ from the 21st Century. It is displayed in the National Museum with the following […]
