The Light Bearer of Truth

Time flies by so quickly, I also find that the older one gets, the more it seems to accelerate. I was ill with my stomach for 3 weeks so avoided everyone in case of germ transfer, then Caitlin was having a visit with her dad and brother for a week, and the next thing you …

River of Denial

This week I heard a term which really resonated with me. Once again I cannot remember where I heard it, but the theory is that the reason that we cannot see the future impact of the actions or decisions we make today is due to 'dissociation from our future selves'. So we struggle with visualising …

Water and Release

Last weekend was such a lovely vibe, starting so fabulously with the Organic Magic Project Event on Friday. Then on Saturday Norm drove me out to Scarborough to say goodbye to Tass my beloved teacher. Norm is always willing to be my transport as he knows how driving makes me so anxious but he is …

The Coherent Brain

I know I watch a lot of dross on telly but sometimes a little gem of a phrase pops out of these superficial shows. For example, once again in Ginny & Georgia I heard a brilliant phrase which resonated with me. Ginny talks about how her mother Georgia is not good at asking for help …

Staying Steady

This week has been full of fabulousness as well as a bit of heartbreak and my usual levels of disorganisation. I advised in my last post that my daughter Lily's kitty Rocket was missing. They finally discovered that he had been knocked over by a car and died. We are all so sad for Lily …

Last Sunday I tried Mindfulness Meditation, which is the practice …

Buddhas and Beaches

Last weekend I had a bit of cabin fever so Norm offered to take me out for a bite of lunch on Saturday. That meant getting out of my jimjams and putting on make-up for a change. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKYZgFJoGY/ We had intended to go to one of our fave spots, Hout Bay Manor, but the wind …

You send me right round the Peninsula

We are now running three work streams at the client: Data Reconciliation of the migrated data to the staging area, a Data Quality Assessment of the HR source data and a Data Governance audit. I am involved in all …

Mother’s Little Helper

Last week in my blog I mentioned how calm I have been on this new client project. I had attributed it to emotional growth, but then those voices I have in my head  started again to tell me I am not clever enough, educated enough, young enough.......just not enough. Those voices reminded me that I …

Protected by Women

The last week or so the vibe in our village has been a bit tense after the recent protests that resulted in the roads in and out of our village being closed and 5 men being murdered. Community Crime Prevention (aka CCP) posted an update the day after the 4 taxi drivers were shot to reassure …
