The changing scenes of life

The theme for this year was/is growth and perspective (did I mention). And I think I'm seeing that in some places. But life certainly always gets in the way of the best laid plans. Which ties in to something I'm learning the most - you can't control what you can't control and that's okay. So …

When’s the right time to move on?

I come at this thought with the firm understanding that life happens differently for everyone. Some people can give you a rough picture of what the rest of their life will look like at 19. And others are still getting it together at 40...what the heck - 26, at 26. I'm thinking of this in …

After you’ve thought hard about money, you…?

I want to be real inspirational about this. But let's be honest, I'm still figuring out my money habits. And you've heard it all - save, invest, read, budget, flee from debt, have an emergency fund, network better, increase your streams of income. Repeat!! So, I'll share some memes from Google. If you laugh or …

One on One

I know they say you should never box yourself in, but I feel like when it comes to this matter, change might be hard to come by. Not for luck of trying either. I'm the kind of person who clams up when it comes to group conversations. Not because I don't want to share, but …

The Quiet Spot

A few years ago I wrote down in my journal, 'To hear a whisper, you must be close.' This followed a passage I had read (that I can't remember at the moment) but that thought always returns. You must be close, in time, in distance, in relationship. I've been reading 'Whisper' by Mark Batterson. When …

I quit writing

A little dramatically too, if I'm being honest (lots of tears, some letters, some anger, a few accusations, some resignation). I dedicated the song 'Let you go' from HSMTMTS to my first love and put a lid on it. That meant an altering of life long dreams and it put my current career path in …

Halfway 26

Today I'm exactly halfway 26 (not that we can trust my math or anything, even with something that simple). I've probably been missing for most of this time (with some reason and some extra self-pity). I think the older we get, we understand how much of an illusion time is - blink and the year …

We are all making it up as we go along.

Are we really? I'm guessing you see that and there is someone who pops in your mind who just seems to have it all figured out. There is no way they are making it up. Probably bursts holes in your belief of 'my steps have been ordered'. Especially when you can't see the order of …

In the face of doubt

I hope your February was merry. And love filled 😏. And that your March has started off well. Its Women's month so I hope you are on the look out for injustices against women (which are many) and righting those wrongs. I intend to show up this March, add my voice to some of the …

Making the time.

During one of my commutes back home this week, I thought of lost skills. Things you pick up and then let die because you never make the time to practise them. For me, it was my French lessons. There were plans in place to make sure I didn't lose whatever it was but what use …
