The Beginning of the Rest of My Life

May 30, 2022

Trigger warning: Child abuse, sexual assault. Last week was by far, one of the most emotional weeks of my life. I had been building myself up for something, knowing full well that that day would leave me feeling anxious, stressed, emotional, and confused. That day was all those emotions and more. But I have now… Read More The Beginning of the Rest of My Life

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

It’s OK to Make Mistakes

December 12, 2012

I came across the following quote the other day, which got me thinking: “Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices. It doesn’t mean they’re bad… it means they’re human!” We’ve all been there. We’ve all… Read More It’s OK to Make Mistakes

Why We Need to Have Dreams and Goals

November 8, 2012

I spoke to a young man yesterday who inspired me, to say the least. He stood in front of a group of people, talking about his life plan for the next 6 months. It was a well-thought out plan, which demonstrated why dreams and goals are so important to our future. Photo Credit: graur razvan ionut… Read More Why We Need to Have Dreams and Goals

You’ll Never Know Until You Try

October 30, 2012

When I think back to my high school days, my memories probably fall outside the norm. For me, high school wasn’t about the friendships I made, or the transition from childhood into adulthood. Instead, it was about the life lessons I learned within those walls. When I was in my graduating year of high school,… Read More You’ll Never Know Until You Try

Everything Happens for a Reason

August 4, 2012

Negative experiences in our life can make us question whether the right outcome was achieved. When life doesn’t go as planned, we end up being filled with regret and seek to find closure within ourselves. But what we don’t realise is, maybe the outcome was for the best. Sometimes when you’re going through a tough time,… Read More Everything Happens for a Reason

Is There Ever a ‘Right’ Decision?

May 16, 2012

Every day, we are forced to make decisions. Some, more thought-provoking than others. But every single decision has an element of uncertainty because we never truly know if we’re making the ‘right’ one. As a mother of three, I try my best to do what’s ‘right’ for my children. Every decision I make is based on… Read More Is There Ever a ‘Right’ Decision?

Moving Forward

July 18, 2011

Sometimes when we think back to our past, we can’t help but be filled with regret. There are some things we wish didn’t happen, some things we wish we could change, and even some things we are ashamed of. But the importance of moving forward lies in knowing that these things are not always within… Read More Moving Forward

Looking to the Future

June 19, 2011

In life, when we are confronted with repetition, it is often difficult to find the purpose in things. The tedious nature of our day-to-day activities, makes us question the significance of what we are doing and as to whether we should be doing them at all. For the past two weeks, my husband and I have… Read More Looking to the Future

Hopes and Fears

May 19, 2011

Often when we look to the future, we not only feel the excitement but also the fear. The mystery of what is to come can leave us anxious as to whether we’re capable to withstand what is about to be bestowed upon us.
