The Fear of Loneliness
The fear of loneliness can be a motivator behind many decisions made by some people. Irrational sometimes to outsiders, these decisions can result in constraints to the lives of some and heartbreak to others. People settle for people they do not love, or stay in relationships with people they do not love rather than risk …
The Kitten Whisperer
This has been another week of turmoil in South Africa. There have been protests over a few different things. Rumours are that there is another taxi strike planned for tomorrow.

Baby Daddy
The World Cup has kicked off and our office has been bitten by the fever. We were designated teams and so the office has allowed each team to decorate their section with the team colours. My section got England. https://instagram.com/p/Bj9eNFFFkqG/ My British colleague brought in a flag for us. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkAcQeTFkNc/?taken-by=stresskitten Last week flew by as …
More That Binds Than Tears Apart
I recently heard on the radio that there is indeed such a thing as Man Flu. Apparently there is research which proves that men are more incapacitated by illness than women. That is the good news for you dudes lolling about clutching your tissues and Vitamin C and suffering with a case of severe helplessness. …
