  • Tears and Fears

    I went to pilates class today and the regular three were there, along with my favourite instructor. As usual, she had the whole room chatting and sharing our particular views on various matters.

  • Ruins

    I wrote this poem more than a decade ago but it still resonates. I am still blessed to have people around me, spurring me on and enriching my life in such a way that I could never have experienced if I was capable to do life on my own. Broken, Washed up, dried up, You…

  • I have been doing a lot of thinking the last day or so, after learning that a close relative on my mother’s side had passed away. It came as a complete shock, and our family had been looking forward to seeing her towards the end of the month,  but it wasn’t to be. This dear…

  • Love Is a Daily Choice

    An honest reflection on love as a daily choice, exploring how intention, consistency, and commitment sustain relationships beyond fleeting feelings.

  • Farewelling James Van Der Beek

    I’m sitting here watching many videos of James Van Der Beek. At first, when I read the news, I couldn’t bear to see photos of him unwell. I wanted to fix the youthful, strong and energetic version of him in my mind. As I read more about his life and his love of his wife…
