That Dream and This Reality

What’s in a dream? In school I went to the Library on a regular basis. I loved it there. Sometimes I’d cycle there and spend a couple of hours reading in the kids corner on the bean bags that was there. Sometimes I went there with my teacher to prepare for a debating topic. But Read more

No Go-Backsies

Tomorrow my life changes. It sounds overdramatic — I know, but it’s the truth though. In life, we like our comforts. We might enjoy the occasional challenge, but we’ll hold onto comfort and the status quo, whether it’s good for us or not. We hold on to our comforts and want little change from what Read more

Facts, Feelings and a Christmas Hope

My dearest friends I’ve been MIA for a bit, but tonight I want to share my Christmas message. I’ve mentioned previously that I have spent Christmas many a-ways in the past.

A Supporting undergarment

Today I am going to shortly talk about The Brassiere. I do not particularly want to talk about this ‘oh-so’ feminine product on a public platform, but because I have been on a quest for the perfect brassiere, pretty much my whole life, as well as an increased pursuit for the last couple of months Read more

It’s not you, it really ís me

Toxic people. Toxic people everywhere! Advice on how to deal with toxic people and recognising narcissists fills social media. Toxicity and narcissism seem to fill the whole world. Sigh… Now, based on the rule of scarcity: If everyone is toxic and a narcissist, could it mean that no one is? Before everyone comes cracking down Read more

A Peace of my Mind

I used to have this saying: Everything that takes away from my peace of mind, is something that I don’t want near me. The problem is – more often than not – it’s me getting in my own way. And when I say me – please take note that I actually mean us / we Read more

Metronomically Swung

In music, you have something called a metronome. The purpose of a metronome is to swing from one side to another to hold a specific rhythm as a guide. Nowadays you get electronic metronomes as well. But if it does not have a pendulum – I do not have time for it in today’s session. Read more
