Taking back my strength

It’s play time again for me with The Jury launching this Friday and whereas the word ‘play’ is rather misleading – this is probably the time of maximum stress for me, least fun and no time! Theatre is however an absolute addiction for me… else there would be no possible reason for me to almost cause ulcersContinue reading “Taking back my strength”

I make my own happy.

In a world where we consistently look outside for our happiness, our love, our security and even our stress… it was a wonderful realisation that I came to when I realised I had complete control of how I made myself feel. I could feel successful, happy and a winner or feel stressed, worried and alwaysContinue reading “I make my own happy.”

And the year happened

And it’s the same time of year that I usually love.. there are carols in the air, a slight nip, buying and gifting of presents and glorious xmas and new year plans – everything is the same and yet everything is completely different. This year tried me in ways I could not have imagined andContinue reading “And the year happened”

The Big Fight

They call Life – the ‘rat-race!’ They call Life-‘a fight’; ‘a struggle!’ They glorify fighting for what you believe in and sometimes in all the madness of fighting, you forget what you’re fighting for. They tell you that you must ‘Fight for love’ and Fight for your dream’ and then ‘Fight to stay alive andContinue reading “The Big Fight”

Love- is that really the crime?

In a world of hate, we could do with a little bit of love… Life has changed so very much… Where our parents got married in they’re early twenties, we choose to spend our twenties working or traveling or if we’re lucky- doing both! We spend our lives on social networking sites and learn toContinue reading “Love- is that really the crime?”

I’m not a survivor.

Yes- I have Multiple Sclerosis. Yes- I have a Pituitary Tumour. Yes- I have a tremendous amount of pain every single day… but I’m not a survivor… I’m a WINNER :)! I learnt a while ago that there are 2 ways to approach anything this serious – 1. Let it control you. 2. Don’t !Continue reading “I’m not a survivor.”

I want to change the world by doing NOTHING!

It didn’t happen to me… It happened on TV… And that’s our attitude… Buildings fall. Women get raped. People get murdered. Terror attacks happen. A cyclone devastates… But it didn’t happen to me! We want a better world for ourselves, for our future , for the future of our unborn children or our friends’ unbornContinue reading “I want to change the world by doing NOTHING!”

Everybody needs a friend

  When we’re young friendship is easy….it’s who you share lunch with, who you share a seat with, who gave you a chocolate or their treats… it’s simple! We make friends easily and adapt easily. Our likes and dislikes are still being formed… we’re still learning who we are. And then we become teenagers andContinue reading “Everybody needs a friend”

Confessions of a Commitment-Phobe

Commitment-phobes come in all shapes, sizes and colours…! The nicest of people when in fear of finding something meaningful and lasting become like a caged animal and attack all that is good, caring and protective suddenly…and you , who only wanted to look after and love them are suddenly snapped at, scratched and even bitten.Continue reading “Confessions of a Commitment-Phobe”
