Looking forward to seeing you at WordCamp2018

What’s with the Silence?

  To all my loyal followers and to all the new ones who have come on board wondering what in the world is happening here? Why no blog posts?

  I’m really sorry for neglecting all of you but if you read what my life has been like lately, you will understand, I’m sure.

  During the day (full day) I work as a Virtual Assistant for the Western Cape Network on Disability Find us on Facebook as…

  I cannot believe it’s been so long since I’ve written a post. Where has the time gone?

I’ve been so wrapped up in trying to survive financially that before I know it, not one week, but a whole month has gone by and I’ve not written anything to post.

It’s rather strange, really, because when I started out with my blog, I religiously wrote every single week, I put so much pressure on myself to…

    This year has been absolutely crazy – the start of my year was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Mom taking ill and dying so suddenly three years ago was nothing in comparison to the way last year ended and this year started.  The rest of the year, having to focus on staying afloat financially was equally stressful. Not knowing if you’re going to have enough money to get you through the month…

Another International Day for People with Disabilities has come and gone (3 December 2017). The President and relevant Ministers and Deputy Ministers did their duty to preach equal rights for people with disabilities and how people with disabilities should be integrated into society blah, blah.

  An organisation fighting for the rights of people with disabilities arranged an event where people…

Where in the world am I?

My sincere apologies to all my loyal followers for being absent for so long.

I know I’ve not posted for a while –  I have so many posts I’ve started and either not finished or finished but not posted and would prefer to give you fresh stories to read.

I will get myself back on track as soon as I can.

For now, please be patient. I’m also thinking of chancing the look  of this blog – I’m just not…

A tribute to the resident I never got the chance to know

  Today I’m struck by how fleeting life can be – we are here today and gone tomorrow.

Yesterday (18.03.2017) around mid-day after returning from a business meeting, I was greeted by a resident of the complex to let me know one of the residents was found dead in her flat. At the complex where I live, we receive a call from the Security Desk at 9:00 every morning just to make sure we are okay.…

Is your life off course? Are you too busy for these 5 things?

  I’ve been so caught up with trying to keep up and embrace all the changes taking place in my life right now – also see here: that I’ve hardly had time to think about, let alone write another post to publish here.

In my struggle to find the time to gather my thoughts logically enough to string a few sentences together I came across this article which is so well written I could not have said it…

Last week I wrote about the Winds of Change have spoken – you can read it here: Click here little did I know at the time that my security rug was going to be pulled out from under me again.

  Towards the end of last week, I received the news that all the residents in our complex will need to relocate for approximately 8 weeks starting with the floor I’m on (ground floor). The complex management…

The winds of change have spoken . . .

  I can’t believe we are heading for the middle of February already. It feels like an eternity since the last time I posted anything here. So much has happened over the last few months that it will be virtually impossible to try to fill you in on the details.

The short version is that in September 2017 I decided to sell my house and move to a smaller living space. Between all the negotiations,…

5 Ways to feel less stress when life gets busy . . .

So how do we feel less stress and still get our work done right (without neglecting our loved ones and…

9 Powerful ways to spend a day

  All the time given to you in life is valuable, you just have to know what to do with it.

Let’s make it count. Shall we?

Starting today, spend more time . . .

  Thinking for yourself:the uneducated belief in something false that someone tells you is the greatest enemy of your own truth. Do not let anyone interfere with the freedom of your mind. The best thing you can do for yourself is to think…

  Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

  How strong is my sense of self?

  How much am I willing to share my vulnerabilities?

  How strong is my sense of purposefulness?

  To what extent do I trust?

  How important is my growth and development?
