So much I long to say, and so much that I can’t put into words. There are still 11 days left to get through this month. Over 300 days to get through the rest of the year. I am already tired. My body is tired from the personal training that I signed myself up for earlier this month. My mind is tired from the seemingly endless deadlines that began the day I went back to work. My heart is tired …
I finished last year on a burnt out note – literally. Exhausted, over-worked, unhappy yet hopeful. Somewhere on the amazing NYE spent in Piketberg with family and very old friends, maybe even before we cracked open the Moet, I decided that the next year would be different. While 2011 was not without it’s challenges (some of them almost too big to process), it was certainly different. So without getting all retrospective and pensive about the year that was, instead I …
My first introduction to the new wave of revolution sweeping across the world was the protests in Iran a while back. Twitter was ablaze with incredible footage of angry people who were fighting for their lives to keep their freedom. Then came Egypt, which was even more amazing. Images of Christians standing in a protective ring around Muslims as they prayed have remained in my thoughts for a long time. When the army decided to stand with the people, the …
From as far back as I remember, my mom used to quote the Serinity Prayer. Even though I knew the words however, the real impact is only coming through now. An ex boyfriend of mine even gave me a fridge magnet with these words on it, which is still sitting on my fridge. Maybe it’s that old ‘can’t see the woods for the trees’ thing, but lately, serinity is something I have been thinking about a lot. For a very …
Spring is well on its way to being sprung, and there are so many things I am loving right now it was hard to narrow down the list. Last spring I was all about pretty nailpolish and dresses, but this spring is more about comforts than anything else. Things that make my life that much better, and boost my zen just a bit more. Maybe it’s the Taurus in me, or maybe I just love things that make life better …
Every step I take, every move I make Every single day, every time I pray I’ll be missing you Thinkin of the days, when you went away What a life to take, what a bond to break I’ll be missing you I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. It’s funny how some songs take you back. Like watching a music video of life flashing past… all those moments, experiences and memories. Sometimes I think that it will always be …
September has always been one of my favourite months. It was this time last year that I made one of the biggest and most rewarding leaps of faith ever, to go freelance again. And today also marks the fourth year that I have been in the Bo Kaap. Perhaps it’s the promise of spring, or the beginning of the rollercoaster ride toward year end. I don’t know – this month it feels like a change of pace, and a sense …
The other day I got myself a beautiful Mu and Me notebook. For so many years I have blogged all my thoughts, and yet it doesn’t seem that long ago that I was a teenager recording everything in battered school diaries, covered in stickers and glitter and pictures. Actually, that was many years ago – almost half a lifetime ago if I am going to get specific. So long ago that today, my handwriting has regressed into an almost unreadible …
T’was Grace that taught… my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear… the hour I first believed. On Monday last week, my maternal grandmother passed away. She was very old, and had been sick for a few weeks. She went peacefully and quietly, with my mother and her sister by her side. It was not the type of death that I have had experience with – no shocks, no pain, no accident, murder …
So I finally started watching Lost last weekend – yes, I know it’s finished forever, but it’s all new to me. I’ve just started season 3, and am quite hooked. I may even love it more than True Blood (and that is saying a lot). Now that I’ve gotten into the series, I thought I would share some of the reasons why I love the show so very much… What are your favourite things about Lost?
