Well, I did it. I jumped on the life coaching bandwagon. Yup, look at me go! Lol. Full disclosure: I thought life coaching was highly overrated and just a lot of hot air. Now, I think it is totally underrated and that everybody needs one. I had a life coach recommended to me, specifically actually, for NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), by my accountant actually, and I called her, with some […]
Gratitude = happiness I wonder how many people realize that our brains are hardwired to deviate towards the negative…? Did you know that? I actually thought that I was just a glass half empty kinda gal. But nope, not just me. According to brain experts, our brains seek out the negatives around us constantly, as a defense mechanism. It’s part of our built-in self-preservation mission. Who knew? This […]
The audacity of youth I just turned 43. Yup, in the festive season. Ja, ja, I know, “a lady doesn’t give away her age”. But who says I’m a “lady” per sè? Anyway, the point is, I can’t believe I’m here….43. When did this happen? How so fast? I find myself asking questions like, did I give the past 20 years my best? Was I fully present in every […]
When was the last time you replaced your hairbrush? Apparently, I need to replace mine ASAP. I kind of grew up with the rule of “If it’s broken, fix it. And don’t keep buying a new something, anything, when you already have one.” But, it seems that it’s not such a great rule to live by when it comes to your hairbrush, and you should actually replace it every 6 […]
We all associate different smells with different emotions, right? Well, we encounter most new smells in our youth. But did you know that we first start to associate smells with emotions before we are even born? Turns out that not only can we hear things while in the womb, but we can experience smells too… and even more interesting, is the fact that smells widely considered unpleasant, such as… […]
I've recently acquired a motorcycle. Yes, I know what you're thinking..."it's a midlife crisis" or "trying to recapture his long-lost youth" yada yada. But to be fair, this is nothing new - I've been riding motorcycles since I was 5 years old - literally! I rode for the very first time on a friend's parents farm - and they have a little PW 50 for the kids. Fell first time […]
I was as surprised as, I would Imagine, most people were around the world when the Russia/Ukraine war erupted in February. Who would have imagined another conflagration of this scale happening in Europe some 80 years after the Second World War. It was unthinkable. After all the reason it was unlikely that war would erupt there again was the basic truth that the two World Wars were centred in Europe, […]
The old saying goes that "everyone has one book in them"...and while I've dabbled in creative writing - I was about three quarters of the wy through writing a crime thriller while at Varsity - I've never really gotten back into writing of whqtever natutre. Until now. To be honest I'm much more critical of my own efforts in this regard than Iv was back in the day, but I […]
