There is Always Hope. Always.

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.

You are Stronger Than You Realise

I’ve been having a really rough time lately. It’s been such an emotionally challenging time for me. But this whole experience has opened my eyes to something incredibly significant: that I am so much stronger than I realised.

Why the World Needs You

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

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

Small Changes Can Make A Big Difference

I’ve been feeling a little guilty lately. My youngest daughter just started Kindergarten last month and I haven’t been able to enjoy this time as much as I’ve wanted to. When my first child started Kindy four years ago, I also had a 2 year old at home but my life wasn’t as hectic. I now have a 8, 6 and… Read More Small Changes Can Make A Big Difference

What I’ve Learnt about Love

I was 16 years old the first time I ever fell in love. Or at least, what I felt was love at the time. I was emotionally fragile, vulnerable and incredibly naive. I knew hardly anything about love, just that I wanted to feel loved and appreciated. This person made me feel special for the… Read More What I’ve Learnt about Love

When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

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

When First Impressions are Wrong

Whenever we meet someone for the first time, it’s hard not to form some kind of ‘first impression’ of them. It might be the way a person looks or dresses. The way they walk. The topics they choose to talk about. As human beings, it’s normal to form specific ideas about people before we truly… Read More When First Impressions are Wrong

When Death Puts Life into Perspective

Today, I found out that a lady at my eldest daughter’s school passed away this morning. She was the co-ordinator of the out-of-school care program. I’d talked to this lady before. We shared some laughs. I’d regularly thanked her for holding the school gate open for my kids and I. Although I didn’t know her very well,… Read More When Death Puts Life into Perspective

Learning Not to Take Life So Seriously

There are some ‘rules’ that I don’t like to follow. I do follow and respect laws on the road. I do follow social etiquette, such as – not calling loved ones at late times in the night. I believe in acting appropriately in personal and professional situations. But I don’t agree with treating dates and… Read More Learning Not to Take Life So Seriously
