Being Loved for Who You Are

November 22, 2017

Last month, I had an experience filled with highs and lows. But in my mind, I really struggled to remember the highs. It’s interesting how, we, as human beings, can often struggle to see the good. Even when there is so much of it. In my last entry, I basically alluded to writing more often… Read More Being Loved for Who You Are

I’m Finally Crying Tears of Joy

November 18, 2016

Three days ago, I made a very important decision. One that I’d been seriously contemplating for weeks now. I made the very significant decision to end my counselling. I no longer felt that I needed it. My counsellor agreed. We both knew that I was ready. The smile on my face right now reminds me that… Read More I’m Finally Crying Tears of Joy

Being Proud of Your Progress

September 27, 2016

I promised I would be back to blogging regularly and here I am! 🙂 It’s been 20 days since my last blog post, though. It may not be the previous two posts per week, but I’m focusing on slowly getting back onto my feet 🙂 To say that the past year has been a difficult year would be… Read More Being Proud of Your Progress

A New Chapter Begins

September 7, 2016

Once again, it’s been another 4 months since my last blog. But this time, something in me has completely shifted. I know now that I am back to writing for good! When I wrote my last blog post, I’d only publicly disclosed my child abuse very recently. The memories, the trauma, the heartbreak, the shame, the… Read More A New Chapter Begins

There is Always Hope. Always.

May 12, 2016

It’s been an emotional 4 months since my last blog post. I have cried many tears. I have felt sad, angry, resentful, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, fearful, a mixture of emotions. At times, when I was feeling at my absolute worst, I even struggled to see whether life was worth living any more. But today, as I write,… Read More There is Always Hope. Always.

Why the World Needs You

September 22, 2015

I often like to think of our world as an ‘ecosystem’, but not in the way that the word is commonly used. I believe that in this world that we’re living in, each of us plays a very important role. Through the use of our talents, our skills, our gifts we make the world a better place.… Read More Why the World Needs You

Having the Courage to Take Risks

June 11, 2015

There’s a person that I know. She’s kind, caring and a wonderful mother to her kids. But our friendship had a bit of a slow start. I’ve had many recent experiences where I have been hurt and my friendship was taken advantage of. So when I met this lovely Mum, I was hesitant in getting… Read More Having the Courage to Take Risks

When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

December 17, 2014

About three weeks ago, I attended my husband’s work Christmas party. As always, the venue they’d chosen was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious, and the company was very entertaining. However, what was most memorable had nothing to do with the elegant party itself. Instead, it was what people shared with me about my husband. Two… Read More When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

Always Try Before Asking for Help

June 25, 2014

When I was a young child, I used to spend a lot of time with one of my older cousins. We shared a love of music and reading, and she was always ready to educate me on different areas of life. We were watching the now-defunct TV show ‘Video Hits’ when the words ‘debut’ hit… Read More Always Try Before Asking for Help
