Not That Kind of Girl

Everyone (myself included) has been whittering on about Mercury and communication issues. I have been hit with it this week with what seems like a million paper cuts, not deadly but annoying AF! I ordered from one supplier and one of the items that arrived was broken, so they compensated me. Then I noticed that …

7 Generations

I have loved having Lily and Amelia here all week, Amelia changes so much every time I see her. She can now say several words and is so funny. She really loves to be a comedian and if she gets a laugh she will repeat it forever so make sure not to laugh if you …

Victim of My Own Decisions

A three day weekend seems so long at the start but then it always goes so quickly. I did at least get all the juice out of it (whatever that means). The weather was the kind that I love, cool and with a bit of a drizzle or mist in the air, alternating with pouring …

The Bird Mafia

Even though we live by the sea, we are surrounded by mountains and we do not get an actual 'sundown' with a sun slipping into the ocean on the horizon like you see in romantic films. But on Sunday night when I was sitting on the back patio I looked up at the sky behind …

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 …

The Balance

This has been a really hard week for our family. It has not helped that the weather has been stifling hot and that it got up to 30℃ on Monday. Sometimes it was even too hot to sit outside as there was not a breath of wind. It makes me feel lethargic and sludgy. Last …

Dope Dopamine

Typical of the Mother City, the weather has been erratic all week. We had several days of really severe winds. Then we had several days of intense heat, it was 31℃ on Tuesday. That evening I sat outside at the back and took advantage of the weather finally cooling off a bit. The cats and …

Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

I am a worrier by nature and I have to really keep focused on positivity and gratitude, rather than obsessing over things that most likely will never happen. Since we got little Poppy, I have watched her leap fearlessly off of things, bounce across the garden, dash under our feet and fall over frequently. I …

Off Balance & Out of Alignment

Sometimes my weekends end up being so tiring even if I do nothing. This last weekend was so busy and therefore my tiredness was justified. This week has been full of dramas and disasters which has not really helped perk me up. Last Saturday we had our final Soul Circle for the year. It was …

Powerless

It feels like months since I have written because I usually write a bit every evening after work and then just have to edit and tidy up my post on Saturday, but this week I have worked late every night as I had a deliverable due for close of business on Friday. I was just …
