How would we live our lives, if we knew the potential we had within? Would we heal for a better future?
Healing. Noun. the process of making/becoming sound and healthy again. Why would anyone want to heal? The path is narrow, the terrains are (let’s be honest) shit. So why? To weather the storms of life with some level of comfort and assurance. I realised what I just typed sounds like the ultimate contradiction. And maybe…

Part 1: Learning to be accountable for my pain. The lessons I learnt about betrayal
This is a two part post about my understanding of betrayal. The second part, when I learn to overcome the hurt, to find healing. This topic of betrayal has been floating inside my head for quite some time, waiting to be written. I suppose now is a gooder time than any other. I ponder on…

Healing part 3: We are not our pain. The pain is our purpose
We are not our pain. In the midst of our struggles, surrounded by indescribable affliction that is yet to be understood by the mind. The heart aches. It longs for healing and understanding, so we can feel free again. Without understanding the suffering continues. The anger is palpable, seemingly with nowhere to escape. It…

The Journey to Healing Part 2: Choices and Progress
Change starts today, to make room for the progress we want to see tomorrow. It is in the small moments where we find ourselves choosing. Whether to grow or to remain. The triumphs are found in small victories. This is healing. This is growth.

Healing part 1: Learning to listen to your inner voice.
“The ears may never hear, but the soul knows. Learning to listen to your inner voice” Whatever the healing looks like, or what we are trying to heal from. It is a journey. An opportunity to be honest with ourselves. That anger that is bubbling deep within from a disrespect we told ourselves that was…

Part 2: Closure and healing happens when we make space for it.
In my earlier post, I wrote about an acquaintanceship that went awry as fast as the ingratiation itself. This is a reflective, contemplative follow up about moving forward when there is no closure, no apology. But – life must still go on. It’s an absolute must. All I was left with was the question of:…

Why is it so hard for women to not be envious of each other?
I belong to a craft hobby group. Everyone in that group is quite talented in their own way. But there was a diamond in the rough “crafter” (as I discovered). She (never mentioned) that she was a ceramicist; quite a good one at that. And the other day, Olive posted up a photo of…

The Power of Choice: Embracing Growth Over Comfort
I write essays about human connection, hope and finding healing. All of my essays are either found by existing and experiencing life for all that it is. Or they have been inspired by connections and conversations. Why the path of least resistance is so alluring Each and everyone of us on God’s green earth would…

The power of human connection.
“Everybody has a story” This is the essence of the human connection. The shared experience and relatability. At the core of my blog, I want the reader/ a reader to experience the “human connection”. And whilst it is not optimal as an in person connection, it is still a connection nevertheless. I wholeheartedly believe that…

To us, who thought it was all to late to pursue our dreams
Life. It may not be fair, but it is just. And like the tortoise and the hare, it is never about how fast you run, but rather, how you run the race. Life … It isn’t meant to be fair. For fair is: equal. But no one human is equal to another. So fairness cannot…

Life: You cannot compare & be happy
I have (for one reason or another) met people from all walks of life. Call it fate or call it something else, our paths crossed. Professions of many kinds. Even an ex special ops who taught me about box breathing. (I wonder why it’s called box breathing?) Anyway … who knew I needed to learn…

Relationship: If you want to know what love is?
The sort of love that will weather the storm with you, protect you during times of hardship, are the ones that kindly says no to things when it is needed. And whilst it does not feel good, you will know that this kind of love has the stamina to run the race.

What would you do, If you knew the relationship you are in, has run its course? This is the story about risk.
What would you do, if you knew that your relationship has run its course? Would you continue, because it is easier? Or would you risk it for something unknown, that could possibly be great for the soul?

A Random encounter: A happenstance perspective shift.
The strangers we meet, are sometimes a divine intervention for us to see hope in the most unassuming places. This is the story about Leilani and her positive disposition.

A thought piece: The thing about perspective is …
Perception shapes our perspective, and therefore – shapes our happiness.

An Open heart letter: Can we talk about courage for a moment?
I used to think of courageous people as having no fear. But what I have come to discover is that, it isn’t that these people don’t possess fear. They have an inherent self belief in the things that they are trying to strive for. “Conviction is the source of courage” You see, I have never…
