When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

December 17, 2014

About three weeks ago, I attended my husband’s work Christmas party. As always, the venue they’d chosen was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious, and the company was very entertaining. However, what was most memorable had nothing to do with the elegant party itself. Instead, it was what people shared with me about my husband. Two… Read More When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

When First Impressions are Wrong

November 16, 2014

Whenever we meet someone for the first time, it’s hard not to form some kind of ‘first impression’ of them. It might be the way a person looks or dresses. The way they walk. The topics they choose to talk about. As human beings, it’s normal to form specific ideas about people before we truly… Read More When First Impressions are Wrong

When Death Puts Life into Perspective

October 15, 2014

Today, I found out that a lady at my eldest daughter’s school passed away this morning. She was the co-ordinator of the out-of-school care program. I’d talked to this lady before. We shared some laughs. I’d regularly thanked her for holding the school gate open for my kids and I. Although I didn’t know her very well,… Read More When Death Puts Life into Perspective

Learning Not to Take Life So Seriously

September 12, 2014

There are some ‘rules’ that I don’t like to follow. I do follow and respect laws on the road. I do follow social etiquette, such as – not calling loved ones at late times in the night. I believe in acting appropriately in personal and professional situations. But I don’t agree with treating dates and… Read More Learning Not to Take Life So Seriously

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

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 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
