Making Time for Loved Ones

July 22, 2014

I’m not someone who believes in having regrets. I believe that sometimes life could have turned out differently. I believe that sometimes we could have made better choices. But I don’t believe in holding onto the past. No matter how much we wish things were different, the truth is – they can’t be. However, I think we can learn… Read More Making Time for Loved Ones

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

Progress Takes Time

June 2, 2014

A friend of mine once said that I was the most positive person they knew. As positive as I am though, even I have my down days. I’ve had some ups and downs recently, both in my personal and professional life. These challenges have affected my self-esteem, my confidence, and even my positive attitude. I’ve… Read More Progress Takes Time

Are You Being Honest with Yourself?

April 29, 2014

Up until recently, I held onto someone for much longer than I should have. I believed that their presence wasn’t having a negative impact on my life. That I wasn’t suffering in the process. But I wasn’t being honest with myself. How often do we do that? How often do we lie to ourselves because… Read More Are You Being Honest with Yourself?

Do You Need a Break?

April 10, 2014

It’s often said that it’s during the difficult times that you realise who your true friends are. Yesterday reminded me why this is so. My life has been incredibly busy lately – juggling my life as a mum, my job as a writer, my relationship with my husband, along with the rest of my family… Read More Do You Need a Break?

Your Circumstances Don’t Determine Your Future

March 11, 2014

I was never read to as a child. At least, not outside of school. I absolutely loved reading though. As a seven year old, I was often found ordering books from the Scholastic Book Club catalogue, reading The Bailey School Kids series in the car, or flipping through pages of another Goosebumps book. As much… Read More Your Circumstances Don’t Determine Your Future

Do You Know What You Want?

February 25, 2014

Life is full of so many questions that we need to answer. In our search for happiness, we try desperately to work out exactly what it is that we want. We might ask ourselves, at one point or time: “What career path do I want to follow?” “What do I want in a partner?” “Do… Read More Do You Know What You Want?

Living in the Moment

February 8, 2014

I became teary-eyed the other day thinking about my own mother. I had been reflecting back on the things she’s done for me in my 25 years of life, the beautiful memories I’ll forever cherish. I cried happy tears pondering the past. My eldest daughter recently transferred from the Language Development Centre to a mainstream… Read More Living in the Moment

You Can Change the World

December 23, 2013

I recently had a two-hour long conversation with a stranger I met in a car park. I was enjoying a picnic lunch with my youngest daughter. We were sitting at a park that was located next to a medical surgery. My daughter and I were munching on our sandwiches, when a man about the age… Read More You Can Change the World
