No matter how determined we are on our journey there is always the possibility of slippage from our path. As per my last blog it can be due to the little devilish voice of our Inner Saboteur or it can be other banana peels which land at our feet. I slipped from my Keto path …
I have been struggling a lot with anxiety and depression for a while now. I do take medication but the virus and the chaos in the USA last week has caused me excessive issues. I have been tearful and a bit of a hysterical mess. I go from anger to tears and back again on …
Last Monday was a public holiday in South Africa but I was not aware of that fact until I had been working for almost an hour. I could have stayed up late on Sunday night and slept in that morning but I messed that up! I was so annoyed with myself. The National Holiday on …
