That thing we do not speak off

You know when you read a book or watch a film and they mention “that thing we do not speak off”? It is a different thing each time; be it an illness, a way of being, a history, a past occurrence etc. There is always something and as you sit there and read or watch [...]

Moving through layers

I finally made it down to the club this evening for a training session. It felt really good. As always, when I have been to the club, I am glad I went. I went there feeling determined and up for whatever would be there. I enjoyed every minute and the two hours flew by. When [...]

Random talk

Working from home. Still in my PJ’s. Having a break from the usual rut and trying to post something but so far I have discarded 3 posts of utter crap! Ugh… I end up writing a few sentences… I read it back and I cringe. It sounds contrived and really, really lame. I am trying to [...]

Is it January already?

Time seems to have flowed past at speed the last few weeks. All the sudden it is mid-January already and no blog post has been written. Ouch! Not sure how that happened. I spend Christmas with one of my best friends together with her boyfriend, who also happens to be a good friend of mine, [...]

Oh 2011, where to start…

When I sat down last year to write the 2010-gone-by post it was about having started to blog, got a tattoo, laser eye surgery, Christmas parties and driving too fast. This time… where to start.

“The Journey”

I am not a great reader of poetry but I do occasionally come across pieces that I really like. Ever since I started blogging and writing I have also discovered a greater love of poetry. Whereas when I was younger I did not understand it and even as I might have seen the beauty of [...]

It all starts with one

It all starts with one. One thought. One look. With one moment. When looking back at my life and the decisions I have made throughout I can most times pin point it to one single event at the time. I most likely did not realize it there and then. Well, most times anyway. Sometimes it [...]

When I am all grown up…

You know those question you got as a kid and then as a teenager? The “what do you want to be when you grow up”?… yeah those. I could never give a distinctive answer. The truth is, I still can’t. This has bugged me for a long time. At some stage I was getting worried [...]

Catching my breath

One of the buzz words heard a lot around offices these days is “work-life balance”. In many ways it is more important today than ever before. The economic situation of today means that people have to put in more hours, work harder, for less pay then before it all went downhill. The pressure is on. The [...]

Restless

Restless, I feel restless. In my mind I wander aimlessly. There is no direction, no map. I ask questions, receive no answers. I seek but cannot find. I do not know what I am looking for. Emotions surge within. Looking for an outlet to soothe my mind. Trying to find relief. Where will I go? [...]
