Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
Not necessarily. A lazy day can be a deliberate break or relaxation time, and it doesn’t inherently imply being unproductive. Rest and leisure are essential for overall well-being. It’s important to balance relaxation with productive activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle.Liam
Poetry: Solitude
by Liam
Alone, alone, my heart and I reside,
In solitude, is our spirits gently sway.
The tear that wept, cut from my emotions tide,
Reflects the pain that loss has swept away.
Like blood not red, but anguish follows fear,
Flows through my veins, a river of enquire.
This essence of your touch, so crystal clear,
Now all lost, consumes with restless fire.
It was love that spilt wet from my eye,
An ocean of emotion unconfined.
Ripples of life, only remnants now pervade,
A fragmentary moment left, to enshrine.
In this emptiness, my heart seeks for release,
Full solace, yearn we now to embrace Gods peace.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
My oldest son, enormously successful with his passion, his own beautiful family and the love and care he shares within our greater family. Liam
Poetry: Rise
by Liam
My friend, my neighbor, this world will absorb all of who you are.
The nights, lights,
The very vibration of the media will neutralize your sensitivity.
Why would you wish to burden your soul?
Rather, rise; rise above the plane of the mundane.
There find a field; feel the difference.
Let’s meet, smile, and laughter.
It’s here for those who search for the peaceful.
Find the plentiful lightness of being true.
Become the vision of who is really you.

Poetry: The Teacher
by Liam
We have forever had a teacher,
It’s not you I’ve taught, though.
It’s not even those children
Whose sight is on a future we cannot yet comprehend.
These teachings come to our understanding from you,
The lessons learnt come from your heart.
This beautiful subject learnt is Life itself,
Where the master is radiant, rich, and gracious,
Unfolding within me the wisdom that Change is the way of becoming ever closer to our magnificence.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
This profound moment is very clear, pronounced, shocking, and deep. The world in which I lived and worked, had crashed down all around me. My business that I’ve been struggling for years to make successful, had also fallen into its knees, clubbed to death by the banking crisis in 2008. I’m bank account blocked and stripped, my customers were screaming at me, my suppliers were threatening me, my ex hated me because I didn’t give her any money.
In the dark and lonely moment after a long sleepless night, I swung my legs off the bed with my head cradled in my hands. I eventually stopped whimpering, why me? Why me? Why me?
Almost not daring to hear myself, I whispered alone in the dark, it’s my life, it was my business, and I am as mad as it sounds, responsible for everything.
I am responsible, because it’s my life.
That moment was my waking up to being an adult, truly responsible for absolutely every possible thing which had to do with me as an individual human being. My bank account, my relationships to customers, suppliers, friends, family, my own self-worth, my health, my creativity, my nutrition,
As metaphor go, this was my pickax . to the forehead waking up moment.
From that moment forward, I made every moment of my waking day from that distant past to this very present second an experience of my conscious creating.
To live in abundance, financial, emotional, spiritual, creative, and physical is the consequence of having become an adult. How deeply I wish everyone who reads these words and lines that they to become an adult fully and responsibly. love Liam
