How a sensation becomes a sentence, a sentence becomes an action, and an action becomes the person you believe you are. Your heart is racing before a meeting. Your stomach tightens when you open an email. Your shoulders climb toward your ears when someone says, “Can we talk?” In the span of a breath, your [...]
Bringing the Anzac Values of Respect, Friendship, Loyalty and Trust into Everyday Life As the bugle sounds at dawn on 25 April, communities across Australia and New Zealand pause to remember.

Imagine this. An astronaut sitting inside a spacecraft moments before launch. The countdown has begun. Millions of dollars of technology surrounding them.
