A Lot Can Change in a Year

December 30, 2013

Whenever a year draws to a close, many of us start planning the year ahead. We feel determined to put the past behind us, we ponder about our new year’s resolutions and we want the next year to be better than the last. But sometimes, we shouldn’t just focus all our energy on moving forward.… Read More A Lot Can Change in a Year

Overcoming a Life Without Confidence

December 6, 2013

I’ve had some horrible things said to me during my life. When I had a nail biting habit, I was told that nobody would love me – that no-one would want to hold my filthy hand, let alone marry me. I’ve been repeatedly called stupid. I’ve been told to lose weight because nobody likes a… Read More Overcoming a Life Without Confidence

You are More Important Than You Realise

October 29, 2013

There was a period in my life when I thought I was worthless, useless, a horrible waste of space. I thought that I was incapable of bringing any good to this world, that nobody would love me for who I am, that my opinion simply did not matter. But I managed to get myself out… Read More You are More Important Than You Realise

Sometimes Just Being There is Enough

October 3, 2013

I want to tell you about someone. Someone very special. She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met – not just in terms of her physical appearance, but because of who she is on the inside. She is kind, caring, compassionate, and so very selfless. If I needed her, I know… Read More Sometimes Just Being There is Enough

Don’t Tell People to Get Over It

July 23, 2013

As some of you might know, I’m currently going through a bit of a rough time. A friend, who has meant a great deal to me, for many years, is no longer in my life. It’s been a tumultuous fortnight, my emotions have been all over the place. But I’m getting there and I have a… Read More Don’t Tell People to Get Over It

Nothing is a Waste of Time

July 12, 2013

This is a post that’s very difficult for me to write. At this moment in time, I’m listening to sad, depressing music and on the verge of tears. Just two days ago, I lost someone who’s been important to me for a very long time. I didn’t lose them to death. I lost them, because… Read More Nothing is a Waste of Time

There is No Success Without Failure

April 12, 2013

It’s incredible how fast your perception of a situation can change. Once upon a time, I thought nobody was reading my blog. In April 2011, I set up this blog to write about my parenting experiences so others would feel less alone. As the months went by and the time cut into my busy schedule… Read More There is No Success Without Failure

Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

March 7, 2013

There was always this inside joke between my friend and I. She would joke that I basically knew the answer to everything. Whenever something was troubling her and she needed advice, she would always come to me. I was not only her friend but her confidant – someone who she could depend on to provide… Read More Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

You Are What You Believe You Are

February 21, 2013

I’ve learned a lot about myself since becoming a mother. I’ve learned even more about life. You see, I have 3 young children – a 2, 4 and 6 year old. All of them have a speech and language delay. And it’s been tough on me; emotionally, mentally and physically. But in my six years… Read More You Are What You Believe You Are

My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool

January 14, 2013

A friend of mine once criticised me for being “too nice”. She thought that I needed to change, otherwise I’d be taken advantage of one day. Funny thing is, it was actually being “too nice” that saved my life. In a previous post, I wrote about how I went through a tough time and believed… Read More My “Instant Happy” Happiness Tool
