After I posted my last blog about my friend Jay who passed away, my friend Chris messaged me to say he had also experienced the same light show I had written about! Chris was also at school with us and he said that Jay had sent him this image as a GIF: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzINXMeJV7i/ However IG …

Strength of the Feminine
This week has been full of stress, trauma and drama. My smallest Pomeranian, Panda, has had an odd turn which has had the whole family so upset. Norm had meetings on Wednesday and when he got home he noticed that Panda's normally high pitched yap was a coarse gruff bark. https://instagram.com/p/BynVDbah80Q/ Norm took him to …
Rain Angels
We have had quite a bit of rain this week. It rained lots on both Tuesday and Wednesday. My rain fairies were looking out for me. When I left home on Tuesday it was raining quite a bit and it was really dark so I struggled to see to navigate on my drive in. When …

The Power of Change
I think that my husband has a very sexy voice and accent, but sometimes our attempts to communicate with me and my southern drawl and him and his Scottish accent results in some confusion. In my last blog I mentioned that we took a road trip out towards Paarl but I forgot to tell you …
Vintage Shadows
As lovely as a long weekend is, it seems to take a week to get your internal calendar back on track. Norm and I had decided to also try to get back on track with living a low carb life again after Easter and on my first day back at work Norm welcomed me home …
Deserving
I was told recently to 'lighten up' and I realized that I have become a very serious person and wondered when that shift occurred from the 'up for anything' mad version of myself. I have never been frivolous or silly, I think it is not in my nature. I've always been self deprecating, that comes …
The Path of Peace
This was my first week back at work after my month off and it was a challenge to get back into a routine. On Monday I had a full day workshop on Data Modeling, on Thursday I attended a DAMA Conference and today I had a presentation to a potential new client and had to …
