My week has been so tumultuous, packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking…… I still don’t know where most things are. No, I lie, they are in a box somewhere in one of the rooms. I was going to be so organized. All the boxes are labelled but the removalists and the helpers were coming in at such a “rate of supply” if there is such a thing, that I got overwhelmed.  As they entered the front of the garage, I tried to direct them to which room or where to go at least. I was inundated so much with an onslaught of boxes; I ended up just stating “Leave them here.” (In…

As I sat down all my muscles were crying out – ‘Enough! Give me a rest.’  We were near the end of moving day and every bone in my body could tell it had been a long day. Someone called out, “where do you want to put this?” I looked up wearily and said, “Wherever you want to.” My brain was mush, and I could no longer think, all I wanted to do was to rest for a while.  Tomorrow was another day; The rest of the boxes could wait. I told everyone it’s time to stop. Relief splayed across a few faces. As my whole family sat looking at…

So many people have been asking me, “How are you going? I hope “IT’S” not too stressful for you.” “IT’S” refers to moving house. We are finally moving into our new house after 2 years of renting.

To use my winter clothes again. We had packed up so much of our things so as to live simply (we thought for only a short time.) Part of me has got used to simple but the…

As I was trudging through sand measuring a pathway, that at the moment is non-existent, laying out with rope the size of the path, my thoughts went to my steps. I was deliberately walking slowly, watching where I placed my feet on the uneven sand. Every step brought me closer to my destination. As I measured my steps my mind was thinking – Do I think of where I am walking everyday? Or do I just walk with no thought of where my feet are taking me? Where my life is taking me? Do I even consider if I am on the Right path, walking in the right direction for…

The other day someone met me for the first time and said, “You look different in real life. I thought the first time I saw you in a video that you had not done your hair and I could not even see your eyes for your fringe was all over the place and the glasses took up half of your face. But I see that you have very fine flyaway hair and you’re not unkept at all.” I literally laughed, not offended, but amused. But it made me think – we humans (speaking generally) in society, feel we can say anything nowadays to anyone. No holding your opinion to yourself.…
