I would like to share a recent experience that has reconfirmed my belief that The Universe works in mysterious ways. Ways which often baffle and frustrate us, but ultimately create situations which force us to take a closer look at why things happen and what we are supposed to learn from a specific event.

Thus I found myself dialling Mr Cat's phone number. As a gentle refresher this person is very good friends with my CEO and was working for a well known, publicly listed, financial services company. The original strategy had been for him to introduce me to his 'contact list' in the middle...
By this stage I was sitting in the centre of Dubai wondering how on earth I was going to make this role work. I was living with some very generous hosts and their felines, who were good friends of the CEO (the humans not the cats). What had failed to be...
By now I was working for the new fund in the marketing area having begun the role 'helping' with the PHD in managerial behavioural analysis focusing on brain function (obviously). I was a little confused on expectations but the alternative asset fund was based in Mayfair, the office swish and the...

All women are at risk for breast cancer. If you have not had breast cancer, you want to stay clear of it, and if you have had it, you never want to get it again. Living without cancer starts with understanding cancer. Is getting cancer a simple case of bad genes and bad luck? Is it just a few renegade cells mutating and replicating at random? Increasingly, research suggests otherwise. The development of cancer is an...
More than one third of Americans will develop cancer, but nearly two thirds will not. Research indicates that while we all carry cancer cells in us, most of have sufficient natural defenses to prevent these cells from becoming cancer. These defenses include our immune system, the ability of the body to control inflammation, and the nutrients in foods that reduce the growth of blood...
