Unmotivated, but persistent.

Unmotivated but persistent.There will be countless moments in life when you will feel unmotivated to do a number of things, but you do it anyway. Hard to pray, too tiring to exercise, too exhausted to focus, too discouraged to press on. But, you recognize what you need, and you do it. You close your eyes…

Slow Down

It's crazy. In a world as turbulent as ours, it is crazy just the thought of slowing down, but I am learning that if you don't choose to, life will make you. I know people have been saying that for a long time but you always convince yourself that you can just go a little…

Bliss

My niece is about eighteen months and she has this joy about her. I'm writing this and I'm having a mental image of her spinning, hands out, head tilted upward and a smile on her face. I tried spinning with her last weekend but my body and I aren't the best of friends lately so…

Scared

New starts scare me. No lie. As confident as I may come across, I am miles away from being there in practice. Just today, I was talking to someone and telling them that it is blowing my mind the opportunities that I am being presented, simply because I think so poorly of my own abilities.…

Girls Should be Seen Not Heard

For those who have been with me for quite some time, you might remember a series I did called Girls Should be Seen Not Heard. Well, good news 🙂 The book is here! Here's a back story to why I chose this particular title. When I was in school, I'd hear this statement used a…

The Impossible Question

When things happen, the biggest question we ask is "why?". I've asked that myself about a couple thousand times. Why me? Why this? Why now?

Own Your Actions

One day…hopefully

One day we'll return to the beaches, to the mountains, to the skies. Hopefully, we'd have learnt to appreciate their beauty. One day we'll hold hands once more. Hopefully, we won't corrupt it with hatred, lust or jealousy. One day we'll gather again. Hopefully, it'll be with love at the centre. One day we'll step…

Quarantine Afterlife.

There is a lot of talk going around about how life as we knew it won't ever return; that there will be a new normal, and while I would like to disagree to offer some sort of comfort at this time, I'll be lying if I did. Life as we know it will not return.…

Simple

I've written by now more than two dozen pieces A lot of them I'd admit, I've thought through especially the ones I've written as I got older But in my early adolescent years, the years when writing was my escape... I didn't think through most of my work My work flowed through me I felt…
