Self-Validation: Learning to Love Yourself

December 21, 2012

I’ve spent most of my life looking to others for validation. I’ve always been preoccupied with wondering how others saw me and what they thought of me. As much as I had become accustomed to this, engaging in such behaviour wasn’t healthy for me at all. I was looking to external factors for my own… Read More Self-Validation: Learning to Love Yourself

Life is Just Too Short: An Important Lesson from Connecticut

December 16, 2012

I woke up yesterday believing it would be just another normal day. I turned to the right side of my bed, and grabbed my phone to check my emails. Just like usual, I proceeded to open up my Facebook. Emotions soar through me as I saw status after status update, and link upon link, of… Read More Life is Just Too Short: An Important Lesson from Connecticut

Kind People Are My Kinda People

November 13, 2012

Everyday, we are given the opportunity to be kind to others. What we say or do, and how we go about it; could determine the way we make someone feel. Two months ago, I reached my heart out to a very dear friend of mine, and it only brought our friendship closer. Having sympathy for… Read More Kind People Are My Kinda People

The Value of Honesty

October 19, 2012

Movies can touch our lives and leave us with memorable quotes that we never forget. For me, there is only one. And it’s found in many movies. This line always has the same underlying theme – honesty. Whenever a character misbehaves and does the wrong thing, their loved one feels understandably disappointed and hurt. But,… Read More The Value of Honesty

Why You Should Love & Appreciate Others

August 10, 2012

I’ve never been the biggest advocate of birthdays and holidays. I’ve always thought the celebrations were too commercialised; there was too much pressure to buy the right gift, ridiculous amounts of money were spent, and there was not enough focus on loving people all year around. But three days ago, I celebrated my birthday and… Read More Why You Should Love & Appreciate Others

The Extent of Unconditional Love

April 15, 2012

It’s amazing how much you learn about yourself once you become a parent. You discover how capable you are, how much you’re willing to sacrifice, and your ability to love unconditionally. My 3 children have taught me the value of each of these. I often hear people coin the phrase “supermum” when they see a… Read More The Extent of Unconditional Love

More Than Four Letters

May 23, 2011

I remember not so long ago, I believed I would never find “The One”. It wasn’t so much that I wasn’t given the opportunity to find it, I just don’t think I had yet. Then I met my husband and found exactly what I’d been looking for my whole life. Thirty minutes ago, I waved goodbye… Read More More Than Four Letters

A Mother’s Love for Her Children

May 13, 2011

I never thought that anybody could make me so proud that my eyes filled up with tears. But my oldest daughter did just that today. Alisha, as you may have read in my advice, is a bit delayed in her speech and has been attending a Kindergarten especially targeted towards these needs. All the parents have… Read More A Mother’s Love for Her Children
