New Year 2008

Expand and Envigorate in Eight (2008) will be one theme for this coming year but also to streamline my life and put my energies into more of my interests rather than just one or two.

    Favourite lyrics from musical "Jekyll & Hyde" (J&H) Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse, Music: Frank Wildhorn

    "Why settle for less dear, when there's MORE!"

    "I need to know"

    My life theme - excerpt from "No one must ever know" Act II of J&H the musical:

    "Somehow I have to get back to the place where my journey started. Find the course I charted when I first departed.

    Somehow I have to hang on to the vision that first inspired me, to the hope that fired me when the world admired me!

    I'll find a way back to the higher ground!And see the view I saw before.

    I'll search the world until the answer's found!And then success will pound upon my door!

    Somehow I have to rebuild all the dreams that the wind have scattered.

    From what fate has shattered - I'll retrieve what mattered!

    Somehow I've got to go on till the evil has been defeated, till my work's completed - I will not be cheated!

    God! You must help me carry on!

    When it seems all hope has gone, I have got to carry on!"
