Firstly, sorry Wishful Thinking has been a bit quiet recently. I’ve got some new articles lined up shortly, and I’m working on a brand-new free e-book for you — watch this space.
Secondly, I don’t write much about my personal life on this blog, but I hope you will indulge me for a very special occasion.
Apart from my usual round of client work, writing for Lateral Action and writing and delivering the Creative Momentum workshops (which were a blast, thanks to everyone who came), I’ve had two new demands on my time – a twin boy and girl.
To have a son and daughter at the first time of asking might sound like wishful thinking — but if you take one thing from this blog, it’s that wishful thinking can lead to wonderful things. My wife and I are still pinching ourselves, and thanking our lucky stars.

Congratulations to you and Mrs!
(I’ve been reading your RSS regularly, but I usually don’t comment)
Great news from you and Mrs. Congratulations!
I am just a new member to read your books but I am definitely absorbed by them. Follow you and hopefully I could give more comments later.
Ahhhh, best of luck to the (both)2 of you !!
Congrats Mark
I hope you’re using the sleepless nights to pen more poetry.
Conor
Thanks everyone! Your good wishes are very much appreciated.
@ Conor – Sadly, sleep-deprivation doesn’t seem to be conducive to writing poetry.
CONGRATULATIONS Mark!! Those little eyes, hands fingers, toes will give lots of inspiration for your poems. Or you could change styles a la Dr Suess!
Congratulations! Enjoy your bundles of joy.
Congrats!
My girlfriend and I talk about twins and the fact that we’d hope for a boy/girl combo if we ever had twins (they run in her family – a lot).
Thank you!
@Eva – Did Dr Suess change styles after becoming a Dad? Or have I missed your point?
@ Melissa – we are, we are!
@ Mike – hope your wish comes true. Funnily enough twins don’t run in either of our families, it was a bit of a surprise!
I’m a new reader to your blog. I wanted to say congratulations to your new babies.
Toutes mes félicitations!
To Mark and Mrs Wishful Thinker!
Welcome to the wonderful world of parenting twins, a boy and a girl!
We had our twins twelve years ago (seems like yesterday), and they are the most incredible and beautiful surprise we ever got in our life, day after day.
Purely a blessing…and a stretch for the parents.
Enjoy!
Marion.
Thanks Shell, and welcome to Wishful Thinking!
Merci beaucoup Marion! Didn’t realise you had twins, thanks for the encouraging perspective!
Congratulations & Best wishes!
Thanks!
