The Deeper Meaning of Life
Answering a call of nature in a bush is a delicate affair. It is even more so, I discovered, if you are in the depths of Kenya’s moist highland forests. Here the colonial administrators cast an appreciative glance at rolling hills and deep valleys, and with a glint in their eye, situated forest stations and outposts at the top of small mountains or in secluded glades. The total effect of this is that you might not have access to a toilet when you most need it.So it was that I had need of a bush while I was in one forest recently. Forests have very weird microclimates such that you can be freezing while driving through them, but the moment you start a brisk walk you start sweating like a pig. Or get rained on. Then you feel rather thirsty and drink your entire water ration for the day and a few minutes later, due to the drip drip of the rain, your brain suggests to your bladder that it should send out an urgent call for relief. That was I in this sort of situation.Being in the company of other people, I whispered to one of my colleagues that I needed to visit “Uncle George” as we used to say in school.“Me too. I will take you into that thicket,” he whispered back.Now being a good girl, I objected to the idea of being taken into a thicket by any man who is not my kin. I mean, what would my pastor think? Luckily, I was taking photos for the trip and I had cameras with me. I grabbed the biggest and with a nod asked him to lead the way while walking in a manner to suggest that we do not like each other at all.Like I said this is a delicate matter. You do not crouch in the bush without looking closely at the fauna and flora. Safari ants can end up in very sensitive areas!A few steps into the thicket and my colleague goes, “Liz, you can’t do this here”. All around us we were surrounded by shoulder length stinging nettle. I had never seen it grow this tall.My colleague suggested that I walk further on and he would keep watch. By this time, I have to tell you, my bladder was screaming. But ahead of me there was just more stinging nettle. So I stood there and held my bladder as I listened to my colleague whistle as he went on with business.Funny enough I was able to carry on, even managing to sip a milky cup of tea while listening to the resident forester espouse the goodness of stinging nettle as a tea
Life Management
I attach you the wonderful site about life management :
In the late 1980's, Jan Warner saw a glaring need to inform the millions of Americans facing the trauma of divorce, separation, senior care, and dealing with issues affecting the elderly and disabled. To respond to these needs, in addition to his newspaper columns, he formed Life Management® to provide affordable, practical information to help Americans manage these important life transitions.
Since then, he has produced an on-going series of videotapes, audiotapes, and print materials about divorce, separation, and long term care planning issues, the latest being a six video series in a strategic alliance with South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV) called Long-term Care: Issues and Answers.
Another of his programs, Make Your Wishes Known®, was partially funded by The Duke Endowment and was produced in association with The South Carolina Hospital Association and Mary Black Foundation. This series of audiotapes, videotapes, and print materials which deal with the health care decision-making process is hosted by Spencer Christian, formerly the weatherman on ABC's Good Morning America. Used by hospitals and physicians throughout the United States, the Make Your Wishes Known® series has been designated as a national resource by the Department of Health and Human Services and has been positively reviewed by The Annenberg Washington White Paper.
Jan Warner and his programs have been the subject of articles in the press and legal publications -- including ABA Journal, National Law Journal, USA Weekend, People, Detroit Free Press, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, NY Post, The Wall Street Journal, LA Times, Dallas Morning News, Plain Dealer (Cleveland), and Washington Post. He has been quoted in articles appearing in Kiplinger's, The Wall Street Journal, and Modern Maturity, to name a few.
Coupled with FlyingSolo® and NextSteps®, Life Management® has clearly become The Information Resource for Divorce and Matters Affecting The Elderly™.
In addition to free information, Life Management® offers you access to Archived Media and videos, audios, and print materials in our Life Management Store.

Time Management & Goal Setting
101 Life Management aims to provide you with valuable information on topics varying from time management, goal setting to organizing.
I am very excited to announce the publication of my third non-fiction book, and the first one on time management and goal setting.
This book called "Achieving Objectives Made Easy!" has been a long time in the making.
I wanted it to be concise, easy to read and most important: easy to implement by the reader.
Take care,
Raymond Le Blanc

The author manages to present an easy to follow guide implementing proven time management and goal setting techniques. This book is a great buy for busy people. Not only business people but busy moms and dads too.

" Raymond, after reading Achieving Objectives Made Easy! I'm scratching my head wondering how I lived without it before. This book makes managing my time and setting my goals a breeze.
Your book really helped me on my way. I had a marker within arm's reach all the time to highlight important notions. I've already scanned back through the pages more then once.
Using the tools and techniques in this ebook couldn't be easier, especially with the added help of your step by step explanations. "
Jonathan Householder, project manager, 01/05/2008
This book is for all those who feel overpowered with too many things to do, too little time to do them, and a general sense of anxiety that something important is being missed. Everyone experiences times when everything seem demanding, and progress out of reach.
I have studied various goal setting and time management methods for over a decade. I have found nothing that compares to the liberty and effectiveness of these tips.
I've been using this method ever since I read this book. It has many tips, thought-provoking ideas, and methods to reduce stress, define and reach your goals and accomplish more with your work time as well as your own time.
As you probably already know time management should learn us skills that are made of simple, practical techniques that have already helped leading people in business, sport and public service reach the pinnacles of their careers. And than it’s up to us to implement them.
Goal setting is another powerful process helping you think about your ideal future, and to motivate yourself to turn this ideal vision of the future into your reality one day soon.
Organizing is the act of rearranging elements following one or more rules. Working and living in an organized environment has proven to facilitate time management and goals setting time and time again.
101 Life Management and the accompanying newsletter are dedicated to help you build a stronger foundation for a successful life.
By offering you time management, goal setting and organizing tips and techniques.
Enjoy your stay.
