The Final Countdown

I normally never go into a shopping mall, certainly never on a Saturday, and definitely not just before Christmas. However, we will often do anything for our children and so I violated all of those rules last Saturday. I had to park miles away, it was incredibly hot and I was dripping with sweat by …

Brain Transplants

It is so easy to take miraculous things for granted. We often live our lives in a predictable pattern, wake at the same time, eat the same things, watch the same TV shows, shop in the same places, relate to people the same ways and go to bed at the same time. I try so …

Reclamation of the Yard

It was so lovely spending time with my little granddaughter Bree last Saturday afternoon. She had been sick and was a bit stuffed up but she coped like a champ. She is such a strong bodied little thing all she wants to do is hold your hands and pull herself up to stand. When I …

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 …

Alphabet Li & CreepoCop

In my last post I mentioned attending soul circle, but I did not tell you that several people told me that my energy is completely different than when I first attended a year ago. Apparently I was a ball of nervous energy then, I think someone called me a 'bumblebee' which makes me giggle. Someone …

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 …

Where the Light Gets In

Last week I wrote about the need for expressing gratitude and thankfulness in order to bring positivity into your life. This got me thinking about my own past and how long it took me to reach this point. It reminded me to not judge others, we are all evolving at our own pace. I have …

The Knowledge

Last weekend the Mother City was blessed with the most glorious weather! Spring was supposed to have sprung in SA back in September, but I think the memo must have been delivered by our non-existent postal service because Cape Town weather has ranged from haphazard to miserable. Typically just as we started to relax into …

Like A Man

I’ve spoken about my issues with control and related to control is anxiety and an inability to relax. As part of my coaching sessions I was asked to read up on the various meditation techniques and to try some of them out the following week. Last Sunday I tried Mindfulness Meditation, which is the practice …

One Voice

I mentioned in my last blog that it was our 23rd wedding anniversary last Sunday. Norm and I would normally go away for the weekend or at least go out for a posh dinner together but the lockdown meant that was not on the cards. I am not comfortable going into a restaurant yet. This …
