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?
Oops, that’s actually a pig in a teacup. Nevertheless, a storm in a teacup is what this past week felt like. Sometimes I wish I could be nonchalent and care-free, but it’s just in my nature to fret. Before Monday, I psyched myself up hugely, worrying that I would have to be on-site at a client for the whole day, and then have to go to a late meeting almost right afterwards. My sister and co rocking up on Sunday …
Don’t laugh, but there was a time when I used to fear that the words in my head would run out. For a web copywriter, this is a very real and very scary thought. After all, we need to summon the words all day, everyday. Not just that, but we need to find the right words. Big words, descriptive words, serious words, converting words and filler words to bring it all together. When I blog, the words come from my …
This is Red. My sister and her former housemate rescued him from the township in Piketberg, where he had been left to starve to death. With the huge hearts that they both have (and the number of rescue animals they have managed to save throughout the years), they managed to rescue Red and take him to a safe place. When they first got him about a month or so ago, he could hardly walk, wouldn’t eat and had wounds on …
Today would have been your 31st birthday – just less than two weeks before mine. Sometimes it seems like so much longer than eight years since you left us. Other times it feels so much shorter than that. Sometimes time just doesn’t seem to matter at all, and the memories and pictures are all I have to remind me that you were ever here. They say that losing a child or parent is the worst, and I know that you …
I have loved Aerosmith for many, many years and this song of all them reminds me so much of my cousin. Being 14, and playing this song at top volume, dressing up just to dance around the house as we sipped Oros spiked with very naughty dosings of vodka. Spinning each other around and around, shrieking with laughter, we would usually end up on the ground in a big heap of giggles. That’s how I remember her best – wild, …
Maybe there’s something to be said about that old curse after all – when you stop to think that the month is only halfway, and just how much has gone so horribly, horribly wrong in just over two weeks, you can’t help wondering what is going on with the world. Like the rest of the global community, this past Friday I watched the drama unfold in Japan. It was horrifying when I first heard the news, and it has been …
May the long time sun Shine upon you, All love surround you, And the pure light within you Guide your way on. ~ Kundalini farewell blessing With the upbringing I had, it’s amazing that I only discovered yoga and meditation at the ripe old age of 30, but there you have it. Maybe sometimes when things are right there under our noses, we can’t see the wood for the trees. Whatever the case, I started kundalini yoga last week Monday …
I’ve never really been one for postcard inspiration, but that cheesy saying about ‘learning to dance in the rain’ has been ringing true this past week or so. Funny how sometimes all it takes is a deep breath to centre ourselves and understand that letting go of all the worry we carry around really is as easy as it seems. Life isn’t supposed to be an easy ride, and it’s when we can learn how to be content even during …
So, our mercifully short friend February has finally left – like a horrid houseguest you want to leave, I’ve been counting down the days. The start of a new month is always great, but when it’s a new month after a particularly challenging one, it’s even more special. I’m not going to bitch and moan about February though. In fact, the less said about it the better – no matter what happened, I’m feeling stronger and better for having gotten …
