Those of us who are lucky enough to have true friends have immeasurable wealth! In every sunny and stormy day – alike, they share our life journey with love, consistency, truth, and lightness. They never judge nor trick us, they are simply there; a call or a facetime and whenever we need them, or they [...]
True happiness is found within; it’s the connection of mind body and spirit. When like-minded people get together, they experience shared values, humour and quality time. They have fun regardless of their surroundings – and time flies by, memories are made and revisited. The reason we invest with true friends is the effortless connection we [...]
The syrupy ebb and flow of the sea edge. Undulating hypnotically, slosh, trickle - deploring for quietude. The countryside jeweled in soft watercolour, a palette of calming hues. Flowers of buttery yellow, the dreamy lilacs, and the matching baby blues of a summery sky. The rhythmic chirp of birdsong, a mere two, three beat syllable, [...]
Throughout life friends join the ship of us. We form Friend Ships, and we hope to find the genuine few with whom we can consistently charter new waters. To keep a look- out from one another’s crow’s nests – in the challenging choppy sea of life, and not just during times of vibrancy. With no [...]
Chaka Khan, Madonna, Kylie Minogue – to name just a few: have one thing in common. They are embracing an era of ageless times. Follow your passion, regardless of your age.

Our values are an intrinsic part of our personalities; though we can’t profile the markers -they are our soul DNA. We collect and shape them through nature and nurturing. We select the values we align with, and hold them close-to-heart. We do this in bulk during puberty, as we become conscious of our personal awareness. [...]
When we feel it’s a mountainous road to arrive at the juncture of concentration, then we can fall prey to procrastination, or mean and unhelpful self-talk. We end up sitting in the trudge of inactivity, yet nobody else can sweep away the tumbleweed on our life aspirations or journey. We must appeal to the child [...]
When we explore the reasons why our power feels like mushy pulp in a saucepan, we realise that our power wasn’t taken. It simply got partially evaporated by other people’s scorching energy. They heated our vessel. Yet they actually concentrated it through lessons learned. We must give thanks to this! Unbeknownst to them, our power [...]
We have evolved greatly since Homo habilis, the first species of human, and our prehistoric ancestors had to adapt to survive. We had little choice, if we were to outwit the stealthy predators. We relied on our unrivaled intellect, and our fortitude; learning to build shelter, fire and hunt for food. Fast forward to evolution- [...]
