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

And as remarkable it is, you wonder to yourself how anyone could be so brave, so selfless; to care that much for someone… Read More The Kindness of Your Own Heart

Surrounding Yourself with Positive People

July 8, 2012

I often receive compliments about how positive a person I am and how I always see the silver lining to everything. A few years ago, this wasn’t the case at all. Before I met my husband, I was in a really bad place. I was at the lowest point in my life and I found… Read More Surrounding Yourself with Positive People

You Are Never Alone

June 5, 2012

When a person is in need of guidance, you often hear their loved ones say: “I wish I knew how to help them”. But sometimes it’s just knowing that someone’s there for them, that can be all the help they need. For the past month, I have been attending a group with four other mothers,… Read More You Are Never Alone

The Truth Behind Unsolicited Advice

April 19, 2012

It was once said: “Those who know the least will always know it the loudest”. I believe this statement is very true. Some people find it difficult to keep their opinions to themselves and will go to extreme lengths to express it. But the irony lies in that their opinion may not be of any substantial value, as it is… Read More The Truth Behind Unsolicited Advice

Living in a Judgmental Society

April 8, 2012

For each of us, it is a natural human response to be curious about those around us. Some people are intrigued about celebrities in magazines, some enjoy gossiping about people they personally know, whilst others comment on strangers they’ve encountered in passing. But sometimes these behaviours go beyond what is deemed appropriate and acceptable. Life… Read More Living in a Judgmental Society

The Importance of Seeking Help

October 14, 2011

I have always been a very independent person. In some ways, this has been a good thing. In other ways, not so much. During a time when I needed people more than ever, I chose to suffer alone. And I think that the societal perception of it all may have contributed to this. I have… Read More The Importance of Seeking Help
