“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing” Michael Pritchard I have always been someone that questions my sanity. I have questioned it to the point where I came to a conclusion that I’ve gone bonkers (and that’s okay). That feeling came when I stopped trying so hard […]
“How can you hear your soul if everyone is talking” Mary Doria Russel One of the first things I have learned from living abroad, is to mind my own business. Whether as a neighbour, a passenger in a bus/train, in class, or where the clouds are the covering on our heads-MIND YOUR BUSINESS! Some days, […]
“Do not judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant” Robert Louis Stevenson. I know a place, where used to be a “farmhouse” many years ago before I was born. Though a lot has changed, the present owner understands very much how to yield from the soil he lives […]
“Happiness is not what you get in life. It is something you bring to life.” Wayne Dyer. Happiness; a pleasant feeling or euphoric state of mind (as many would say). I would agree before now that it is a feeling only exclusive to some, and eluding to others. For the simple reason that some have […]

“Breathe and let be”…Jon Kabat Zinn, Whosoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield in fury will be broken (proverbs 22:8), Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.(Matthew 5:44). In that order, these were my thought since I heard the news of the Brussels attack. You can imagine the […]
A while ago, I had a run with an eleven year old, it wasn’t a long one but it felt good seeing a child do what I can and even better. The next day, a nine year old decided to join us, I thought a shorter distance so he could keep up. Then we started […]
It’s that time of the year again when hearts are pounding, some are broken, and souls searching for one common thing; that which is now so much commercialised…”Love”?
