How Nobody Believing in My Dreams Taught Me to Believe in Myself

November 24, 2023

I remember the first time I told some family friends that my dream was to run my own business. I was 15, filled with hope and passion. I felt so proud to tell these people I’d just met how I’d been running 25 websites and had just been offered a freelance web design job. I… Read More How Nobody Believing in My Dreams Taught Me to Believe in Myself

There is Always Hope. Always.

May 12, 2016

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.

The Greatest Love of All… Comes From Within

February 14, 2013

Four years ago, someone very close to me lost a loved one. It wasn’t due to illness, it wasn’t due to death. His seemingly perfect relationship with his partner had come to an abrupt end. He lost the girl he thought he would spend the rest of his life with; the woman who he thought… Read More The Greatest Love of All… Comes From Within

Why You Need Something to Look Forward To

February 7, 2013

Every month, I look forward to a certain night. This special night always involves some conversation, a lot of driving, and plenty of noise. It’s a night that means a lot to me, because it brings me back to the days when I first met my husband. Yesterday, I almost passed up the chance for… Read More Why You Need Something to Look Forward To

The Fight Against Racism: Why We Are All The Same

September 15, 2012

Racism has always been a heated topic. We, as a society, yearn to live in a world where we are accepted for who are, not what we look like. But with the raging stereotypes, racism always ends up rearing its ugly head. But what if racism didn’t have to exist? What if we could all learn… Read More The Fight Against Racism: Why We Are All The Same

Quality of Life: For Our Children

April 22, 2012

I am often asked whether I plan to expand my family further, whether I would like to “try for a boy”. But for my husband and I, we are incredibly happy with what we have. There is one main reason as to why a family of five is right for us; this being the quality of… Read More Quality of Life: For Our Children

Change: How It Affects Our Decisions

April 13, 2012

All my academic life, I’ve been taught that the sole purpose of education was to discover that ONE career. That everything we did would eventually lead us onto a path that never strayed. This, I know now, is far from the truth. Since the birth of my 3 children, I have changed so much –… Read More Change: How It Affects Our Decisions

The Meaning of True Happiness

October 8, 2011

They often say that different things make different people happy, but how long this happiness can last for is questionable. Some things in life can make us happy for a short time, while others much longer. But I think this is all dependent on what we believe makes us happy. Growing up, I never lived a… Read More The Meaning of True Happiness

5 Years Ago Today

April 25, 2011

Today, I had the opportunity to reminisce on the past 5 years of my life. Tyler Ward, a talented musician on YouTube, asked his Facebook fans: “Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now?” And I knew exactly what my answer would be. Five years ago, before I… Read More 5 Years Ago Today

New Beginnings

April 16, 2011

If I had told my former self 5 years ago that I would soon be married with 2 kids – I wouldn’t have believed it. In such a short space of time, my life has changed. I was always one of those people that wondered to themselves whether they would ever find The One, but as… Read More New Beginnings
