Most times the wait is an excuse. It’s an excuse to not step out. Waiting pacifies the fear of failure. Waiting shelves what could be for the deception of security. You have something bubbling inside you. I know it. You’ve tried to ignore it – but it just won’t go away. Sometimes it keeps you…
Yesterday I was talking to one of the loves of my life: my dear and wise friend Mercy. We were, as we do almost everyday, sharing the happenings of life over the phone. One of the things I shared with her was this: Lately I feel as though I’ve been going through one battle after…
2012 has been something! My husband and I started our business seminars for entrepreneurs in May this year. Personally it’s been quite a journey for me to get to the place where I’m doing something I truly love. This journey is giving me the courage to quit what doesn’t matter – and every day it…
In previous posts I mentioned a fantastic book I’m reading on how to handle our children’s toddler years. It’s called Happiest Toddler on the Book by Dr Harvey Karp. I highly recommend it. Anyway we’re at a place with our fifteen month old where it feels like a constant battle of wills. To deal with…

Boy did I look like an utter idiot when I took my cousin out for lunch the other day. He texted throughout our outing – the restaurant was busy and there I was looking around – eavesdropping on other people’s conversations – then looking at my soda glass as though I could see my whole…
I have found that a mother-daughter relationship can sometimes be one of the hardest, most emotionally tugging, relationships to have – and yet it is one that moulds women for better or for worse. My mom turned __ this week. I don’t think she’d mind me saying her age because she’s extremely open about it….
I chose “ode” cos I like the sound of it – but this is not really an ode in the strictest meaning of the term. But I really do want to thank Seth Godin on my blog. He’s fantastic and after reading The Dip and consequently plunging and doing what I needed to do to be…
