Are you worth it?
What determines a person’s value? It dawned on me in the middle of the night that we, as human beings, are ill-equipped to measure the value of another. Valuing eachother is an important part of our existence, but at the same time, why do we feel compelled to attach...
What if …
Sometimes the world just gets too much. Every now and then the drifting along becomes unbearable. Some days there is just not enough love to go around. And then you start sinking ... and the tranquility of the drowning beckons quietly. But somewhere out there you can...
Your neediness motivates you
As I fumble through the fith week of lockdown, and more importantly, of not leaving the house, I feel my inner conflict rising instead of the ‘curve flattening’. I spit out those two words with great irritability. Shouldn’t I feel rested? At peace with myself and the...
Finding Purpose

Sadness
Do you ever feel sad, or even worse, sad for no reason at all? We are all very uncomfortable with this emotion because it has such a negative reputation. Sadness can be very difficult to fully express because, to most of us, it means failure and disappointment and if...
Getting ready for Change
If a change is as good as a holiday, pack your bags, baby, because we’re going! Are you ready? I know how you feel, there are times in our lives when we know that we need to change course and seek out a different path but where and how and why does it seem so scary?...
