Shoot for the moon
Every year, I write a post about resolutions… the glorious opportunity to take a blank sheet of paper and design the year to come, just as you wish. It’s exciting and makes anything seem possible. Because it is! I know I’ve spent a good few hours over the last few weeks, plotting and planning my […]
Start 2 finish
December 30, 2012
Over the next couple of days, people far and wide will be plotting and planning & dreaming and scheming for 2013. Just like every other New Year, there will be things you want to achieve, address and change … and just like every other year, the truly relevant question is not ‘what will you start’ […]
Hurrah for Rahhalah!
January 5, 2012
I first met Suzanne Al Houby some time ago and wrote about her in my post Mountain mother. Her formidable summit of Everest aside, I am inspired and motivated by her all round quiet determination and dedicated passion as a climber, a mother, a friend and a business women. Her company Rahhalah was borne […]
Rise & shine
January 3, 2012
I’ve written before about expecting the unexpected and here in Nepal, it seems these words ring true as the rule rather than the exception. I expect that it’s this that brings me back time and time again … life in Dubai is sometimes just too predictable, too easy. I thrive on a little drama and […]
Insights to shelve in 2012

April 15, 2011
This morning I checked out ViPR. It’s my birthday after all and what better way to start a new year by trying new things and … as was the case, finding new muscles that I never new existed! Never heard of it? Neither had I. It’s fresh out the box and brand new to our […]
CNY tori-style
February 2, 2011
Celebrating Chinese New Year need not give you a body like Buddha! The year of the rabbit begins tomorrow which means time to enjoy delicious Chinese food with friends and family … as a result, pretty much every Chinese restaurant in Dubai, no make that the world, will be tantalising your taste buds with extravagant […]
Time for a one-on-one Q&A
December 30, 2010
It’s that time of year when I for one am setting yet more goals … new year, new opportunities, new focus and so on. And … as I’ve spent the last few weeks back in bonnie Scotland and had some stunningly scenic solo runs, which have made the perfect backdrop for plotting and planning what […]
Tori’s Advent Acts
December 1, 2010
I’ve long been a believer in random acts of kindness … but I do tend to go through phases when I’ll do them daily and then when life gets choc-a-bloc and I’m racing to meet deadlines, social engagements, training commitments and so on, I lapse. Anyway, as it’s the 1st December today, most people start […]
