Can You Lead A Simpler Life?

I loved working, and still do. When my career took off in the 1990s, connectivity was exploding: mobile phones (albeit brick-like ones) were beginning to appear; media channels were popping up all over the place with satellite television; the computer was becoming affordable; and the internet was entering the mainstream (along with a new-fangled thing called email). I lapped up all the changes, and believed that the more I could do, the happier I would be.

HOROSCOPE

TAURUS (21 APR - 21 MAY) Happy birthday, Taurus! This May, your life takes the form of a mandala an intricate shape made from coloured sand that is destroyed after its creation. This doesn't mean that you'll lose everything. In fact, the whole month has the potential to be highly abundant, especially around the 19th, when Venus transits through your sign. Be brave and let go of attachments.
