The Art of Staying Calm
I missed writing yesterday because I was catching up on the day after a shock to my system on Wednesday. I am still trying to work out what the universe and God are trying to teach, tell and show me. At the moment, I am not fully appreciating whatever it is or may be. 😒…

_Mornings in Jenin_ by Susan Abulhawa This month’s Book Club reading was this one, which I had never heard of nor of the author. Seriously, there are so many stories to be heard and read! 😅 Having just finished this book a few moments ago, I am still processing the whole story and trying to…

Know Thyself
I cannot recall if I have already written about this topic recently as I know I have talked about it and written in my journal…. Honestly, age is hitting me, I think. It seems I am forgetting things more and more, even while I am talking words escape me so that I sound even dumber…

New Year’s Resolutions: 4. Relationships
These goals are getting a bit easier in topics now – at least for me. Phew! 😅 2016 presented a number of challenges regarding friendships and tested my introverted nature regarding relationships. One of the best ways to weed out your friends is to have an expensive wedding 👰🏽😜. All kidding aside, many of our…

New Year’s Resolutions: 3. Finances
Okay, so this is a BIG one for me/us as 2016 was a massive financial struggle once I gave up work and the benefit of paid housing. Little did I know what a huge challenge it was going to be to work out housing on our limited income. Now, I am not saying that we/I…
