The best kind of love

I am blessed with the best partner any girl could ask for, but today I'm inclined to think of a diffferent kind of love - the most important kind of love The Bible tells us ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and …

Rise….

Pain is a necessary evil. Embrace it. Allow it to wash over you and through your spirit. Cry, scream, punch a pillow, cry some more.... and then move on. Remember the pain, hold on to the memories, never forget the lesson, but let go. Ruin is the path that leads to transformation. For a diamond …

It’s not my purpose…

As far as humanity and a purpose-filled life goes, there are in my opinion only one of two roads you can take:A - either you believe that we just happened to land here by some fluke of science or a big bang or some random atoms that just collided and by magic you came into …

How to be your own life coach

Sometimes, I can do nothing more than stand in awe at how the Universe conspire to make things happen when you are on the right track! As mentioned in my previous post, at the beginning of January I signed up for a webinar by Henley Business School presented by Pepe Marais, co-founder of Joe Public …

Living a purpose-filled life

So much have happened since my last post... After I had published, I probably spent another 2 hours after that crying and then slept like I haven't slept in a very long time. My love always jokes that he's going to start a company "Crying for weddings, funerals, birthdays and over special events" as I …

What does hope smell like?

I agonized over writing this post.  Now it’s almost tomorrow and a dark storm between my head and my heart is violently colliding, and I need to become still.  This might not ever be read by anyone.  This might not be an enjoyable read.  It is a selfish one.  It won’t be all coherent at …

Time to live FAST

We live in a society of instant gratification. Instant food (takeouts and high-calorie snacks vs prepping a nutritious meal), instant messaging (vs snail mail), instant relationships (Married at First sight - this one really boggles my mind). This is something that is so much of a reality that instant gratification addiction is actually a thing …

2021….to plan or not to plan – there is no question

I've never been a big proponent of diaries. Well, there was this one year.... Christmas was coming up and I was rushed for time and on a tight budget. Christmas was only a couple of days away and work was hectic. In my defense, at the time, I was sort of on an "I'm gonna …

It’s OK not to be OK

7 January 2021 Across the globe, the mental toll of the pandemic is evident as suicide rates climb. The ones that "gave up" in the last year and surrendered to this dark void, have been weighing heavily on my mind. One, in particular, was a bubbly enthusiastic woman with a larger than life personality. When …

2021 – May hope spring eternal

1 January 2021 It is 5:30 AM. My house is quiet, my love gently snoring next to me. Outside I can see the first little bit of sun chasing away the darkness of night. Birds are happily chirping away while a gentle breeze rustles through the trees. It's a new day, a new year, a …
