    I never knew the grief a woman experienced when their child was stillborn – until I did. Until we experience it for ourselves, we cannot ever fully understand the kind of grief we go through when in that moment of birth, death arrives and you are left holding a dead baby. The surreal feeling of…

    In one of the videos I watched today, I heard someone say words to the effect of “One minute you are speaking your mind and voicing your opinion and the next time you are seen, you don’t have one (meaning an opinion)”. I took it personally, and my mind instantly went back to when someone…

    BEING A CHAMELEON In the light of day I look around And see what awaits me for the day The sun is shining and the sky is blue What a glorious shade of blue Then people come and I look back And see what is needed of me And adapt to what that person needs…

    KNOWN VS UNKNOWN We keep venturing back into the known as opposed to venturing forth into the unknown to reveal mysteries and to challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones. The known, no matter how good or bad it is, appeases our senses because this is a known quantity that we have dealt…

    When my back’s against the wall and nowhere left to turn I look up to the sky and wish I could and then learn how to fly The magic that transforms in me releases all its cares and woes Once these are gone and you feel light like a feather begins to float with not…

    LIFE ON THE JAGGED EDGE Write what you know they say, but my mind responds: “You know a whole lot of crap every day”. This makes me feel bad most of the time but then again, some episodes make me feel great when I’m invincible, and capable of anything. On the downside though, despair and…

    FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY As I listened to Luciano Pavarotti and Friends in their War Child Concert for Liberia, I was brought back to a time when I was a child and how there was a little necklace that meant so much then.  There were 3 charms on the necklace – FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY. …

    ART STARTED ME ON MY JOURNEY TO WELLNESS Unable to work for several years due to severe depression, my journey towards healing and recovery began the moment I picked up a paint brush and painted the first stroke onto a blank canvas. Artistically, I had no skills whatsoever and could barely draw a recognizable stick…

    THE PATH OF POSSIBILITIES The collapse of the wave we see in consciousness is the moment in which we decide what option we will settle on.  The wave collapses because in this dimension, the decision has been made while in the other dimensions, that consciousness wave is still alive because the decision hasn’t been made…

    Please take a stand against assisted suicide as it is wrong on every level. Doctors are in the business of saving lives, not destroying lives. They swore an oath to do everything within their power and with the means available to them to save lives. They did not take an oath to help a person…
