We all feel regret. Regret for the dreams we had and never got around to achieving. Regret for the decisions we should have, or should not have made, at those pivotal points in our lives. Those crucial moments in life where you know something needs to be done and you...

I love Sunday evenings. It is an evening where I catch up on all the YouTube videos I have saved during the week to watch. One of the videos I have just finished watching is an interview done with Jeff Goins, the author of “Real Artists Don’t...

Every time I think I have my life sorted out, life throws a big messy curve ball. In 2015 I fell in love with a man, who does not love me, but still I held on. Why? Because I am naïve enough to believe that people can change and become the best version of themselves I...

I have found a new hobby and I am loving it. Talk about a learning curve. I have started taking photographs. Not only is my brain being stretched in ways I did not think possible, I have discovered a really interesting side effect of photography. I now look at my...

It’s no accident that certain people come into your life. They arrive unannounced and proceed to tear up your preconceived ideas and patterns. Often they disrupt your life so badly that you may wish you had never met them. But you have something to learn from them....

The cutting off of a limb seems extreme even in the worst situations. If you leave it too long the gangrene spreads like bitterness and anger throughout your entire body. The poison spreads and you end up hating the world and the people in it. The pain is excruciating...

Yesterday I posted a comment in response to someone’s post on Facebook. A few other people posted comments after me. This morning I check Facebook and I see that everyone else’s post had been liked by the original poster, but not mine. And this is someone who is...
