The twists and turns of life...

Dear Reader Today was my sister's birthday. It led to me thinking about how many things I am grateful for - like being thankful that my sister has not only survived, but that she has emerged victorious from a life-threatening challenge. It has been a day of mixed emotions - I realise just how tired... Sign in to see full entry.

The value of time

Dear Reader Do you ever wish you had a time-turner like Hermoine, in the Harry Potter Series? The editor from my publishers emailed my manuscript back to me so that I could go through it and approve it before it is "committed to concrete". I am excited about my book, but it is a tedious task to... Sign in to see full entry.

A new day!

Dear Reader Today brought with it sunshine, and I felt a renewed will and determination within me. My sister and I made a list of everyone I must approach for sponsorship to get to Seattle. The task ahead seems daunting when I think about it, but doing what needs to be done, little by little, will... Sign in to see full entry.

Dear Reader Today was a difficult day for me - I felt emotional all day, although no one else knew or suspected how I felt. I have learned to be a very good actress, and put a smile on my face no matter what I'm feeling inside. This detachment can be a good quality to have, provided one has some...

Gratitude and miracles

Dear Reader There are some things that are common to us all no matter where in the world we live and who we are...such as the moon...Two nights ago I was closing the driveway gate and parking the car in the garage. I looked up at a nearly full moon - a golden ball in the darkness. It was so perfect,... Sign in to see full entry.

The path of life

Dear Reader Do you ever notice that along the path of life, certain people cross your path perhaps for a few days or a few weeks and then disappear from your life? Sometimes they return years later. Then there are those who become your friends - you value their advice and you are certain that they... Sign in to see full entry.

Picking oneself up

Dear Reader This has been a challenging day emotionally. I know that I cannot allow the events of the day to bring me down - how I react to them is my choice. However, every now and then, I forget that and I let events determine my feelings which then lead to negative thoughts. Have you ever noticed... Sign in to see full entry.

Because I can!

Dear Reader With the stress of the past few weeks, I think our family is drained - I know that I feel physically, emotionally and mentally drained. I have never experienced such exhaustion in my life! Nevertheless, I have discovered that it is still possible to put a smile on my face and continue... Sign in to see full entry.

Asking for help

Dear Reader Until last year, I had trouble asking for help - I have always asked for advice, knowledge and guidance when necessary, however I found it difficult to say: "I can't cope, please help me!" I have since learned to say those words, that it is not a sign of weakness...as a friend reminded... Sign in to see full entry.

Hope...

Dear Reader I didn't have the energy to write yesterday, I was weak with relief - have you ever felt that? We had a phone consult with our naturopathic physician in the U.S. regarding my dad. Not only did he have an action plan, but he gave my dad and our whole family hope. I wish all doctors knew... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

These are my personal thoughts and feelings which I am sharing with you, dear Reader. Perhaps you can identify with them, or perhaps you will just get to know me. Whichever the case, I hope it will inspire some conversation between us and we can connect in some way, because I would like to get to know you too.
