Embracing Twenty Thirteen
Reflect. Renew. Embrace. REFLECT Last New Year’s Eve I was in a country hospital at midnight, stepping on a stubborn piece of plastic crate that successful wedged itself into my foot (note to self: thongs do not count as protective footwear). I spent the countdown into 2012 in tears, agony and haste, “quick, kiss me Navin, […]
MoreA confession…
Firstly, an apology. I have eleven days of thankfulness to catch up on, and if I’m correct that’s 33 things to be thankful for. I’m sorry for being lazy to update my quest of thankfulness which brings me to… Secondly, a confession. The past two weeks of my life have presented me with more challenges […]
More#thankful
It wouldn’t be December if it were possible to really blog every day! So tonight I owe you. How have you been going with thankfulness this week? Is it becoming easier each day? This week has been a roller-coaster of emotions for me yet I’m noticing that I’m able to find joy in bleak situations because […]
MoreThankful on a Monday
Mondays are probably my least favourite day of the week and today was no different – rainy bleak weather and back to work after a weekend of sunshine, beaches and Christmas trees, this is definitely a day where I struggle to find things to be thankful for. Slowly but surely though things popped up throughout […]
More31 Days of Thankfulness
A week ago I wrote about the need for thankfulness, especially in the dawn of Thanksgiving and the greed that was portrayed just the day after on Black Friday (check out this frightening video footage!) It’s so easy to ignore the blessings in life and focus on the mishaps, challenges and setbacks. In light of […]
More373 days ago…
It’s been one year and one week since I returned from a place that has stayed painted clear in my mind since I stepped foot on the plane home. Nepal had an irreversible impact on me and it feels like just yesterday I was walking through the dusty streets in my kurta salwar with hoards […]
MorePoo, bikes, islands and a whole lot of sun…
It’s amazing how quickly it is to get back into the routine of life and feel like your holiday has sailed away back to a distant island, but as we’ve been back to reality for a week, I’m enjoying looking through the photos that take me back to a place of fascinating culture, friendly people, […]
MoreThrough the clouds and over the sea…
Written en route to Thailand… As I write this I’m 32,000ft in the air gazing out at the never-ending expand of white, fluffy clouds. 2 hours down and 7 hours to go, Navin and I are Thailand bound for a much-needed holiday! I can’t recall the last time I travelled and didn’t have everything planned […]
MoreRed Flags + Cambodia Bound
There are only two words to describe the past two weeks and my lack of attention to my blog: red flags. When I signed up for my 12WBT with Michelle Bridges one of the very first lessons I learnt was that the 12 weeks ahead of me weren’t going to sail by without opportunities to […]
