This is a gentle reminder that no matter what you go through in life, there’s a Divine plan in place.
Disappointments, disagreements and heartache all have an expiration date. YOU are more than enough for the people who are meant to be part of your journey.
Be strong, stand tall and smile.
Blessings & love x

authentic, evolve, experiences, fun, help, interact, learn, lessons, play, sharing, strangers, talk, talking, words, world, writing
There’s an advert where a child asks her grandmother: “What did you do for fun?” And the grandmother responds: “We cooked and baked.”
I always imagine what my response would be if I was ever asked that question…
I’d probably offer two words: I write.
It’s true. I write when I’m happy. I write when I’m sad. I write when I think I’ve got the best story to share. A large chunk of my work involves writing or playing with words as I like to say. Yes, I call it playing with words because it’s such fun.
I was actually thinking about how I ended up in the writing world… I mean I once wanted to be a nun. I kid you not. When I realised that I’m not convent material, I then thought about being a social worker… I thought I could save the world. Sigh.
Only heaven knows how I ended up writing for a living. Not that I’m complaining. I quite enjoy what I do; except for the times when writer’s block kicks in.
So what is it about writing that I love so much?
Mmmm….
Stop.
Pause.
And go….
When I write, it allows me to:
· Talk – if there was an award for someone who talks up a storm, I’d get it.
· Be authentic
· Share experiences
· Share thoughts
· Share lessons – the good and the not so good.
· Help others – directly or indirectly
· Learn more about myself
· Learn about what makes others tick
· Experience a sense of fulfillment that words cannot explain
· Experience a sense of freedom that comes with allowing your thoughts to rain down
· Experience the excitement that comes with seeing a simple sentence grow
· Find different ways of saying something
· Interact with others
· Learn from these interactions
· Feel like I can connect with complete strangers
· Take a trip down memory lane
· Smile at the recollection of a moment
· Cry and let go of situations/people
· Evolve… move closer to my purpose

action, attitude, choices, deadlines, entitlement, friend, standards, time, work, work ethic, world
I loathe bad attitudes… and especially when it’s linked to an individual who has a sense of entitlement. We all know that person who walks around like the world owes them something.
I loathe lazy people who take no pride in their work… and especially when it’s linked to an individual who has a sense of entitlement. We all know that person who walks around like there’s not enough hours in the day.
As you’ve probably guessed by the tone of this post I’m a tad annoyed. Highly irritated.
Why?
Because it irks me when someone chooses not to take responsibility for their (in)actions.
When they produce shoddy work.
Miss deadlines.
Then cry victim when confronted.
I have no time.
No patience.
I’ve just had a very long chat with a dear friend around a work ethic.
Why does it (work ethic) come naturally for some and for others we have to dig pretty deep… and in some cases we are still digging.
Sigh!
Having a standard is everything.
Having a work ethic is everything.
I’m glad I have both and make no apology for expecting the same from those around me.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

My dear friend, I pray that this moment and every other one that follows will be sealed with love & light. Choose to live authentically.
