Have just returned from a trip to Athens where I was steeped in history and have been reflecting on the importance of the past in relation to the present and the future. What better time to do so than the moment you are standing with both feet firmly in a brand new year full of…
I remember how my first counsellor tried to gently show me how so much of my life had been dedicated to pushing myself really hard to be perfect. To work hard, get the best grades, grab all the opportunities that came along, push to be better and better. She implied that I was pushing so…
My beautiful little girl. You can trust and depend on me always. I hear you and I see you. It’s been a very difficult few days but I am here, holding your hand. Fanning those flames. I wrap you tightly in Ma’s orange and brown shawl. The one she always wore around the house to…
Lately I find myself consciously and deliberately reminding myself who I am and I thought this post might be useful for others too. Useful when we might feel less than ourselves. Moments when we forget . Forget our true essence and how very far we have come. This journey called life is filled with bumps…
I woke up this morning to a world blanketed in snow. The cars and pathways looked like a baker in the sky had sprinkled icing sugar on everything, even the rubbish bins looked beautiful. The layer of snow muffled the everyday noises. Weather likes this makes me turn inward. I found so much there today.…
It’s taken so long for me to finally come to a place where I can accept my vulnerabilities.Vulnerabilities I call them; soft, tender places that hurt when touched even with the slightest brush of a fingertip. Our experiences have shaped us just as much as our characters are innate. I will never be that girl…
Mourning the loss of someone who you have trusted enough to reveal things that were unsaid and unheard. Things that you didn’t have words for; only an avalanche of feelings you didn’t understand. It was never going to be easy. Allowing someone in to the depths of our inner world, to those dark and dusty…
There is a kind of tough resilience to me now. A feeling deep within that whatever happens, I will be ok. I’ve been to these places so many times before. What’s different now is that I am so much more better equipped. The last time I went through all this, I was isolated and alone…
…..and doing what’s best for me Lately I’ve found myself pausing when confronted with choices. Little and big choices. I pause and think about how to respond. I reflect on how convenient it really is for me. On how the decision will affect me. My aunt asked if she could come over next Friday. I…
Things aren’t the easiest at the moment, yet something deep within keeps me moving forward. Something I can’t see or hold; defying shape and form, but strong and invincible like a range of rocky mountains. Going to work everyday, teaching my classes, connecting with people. I keep going in spite of it all. That invincible…
