I am not my circumstances
So often we grumble, complain, heck even rant that things aren’t the way we would like them to be. How often do we place the blame squarely on other people, outside circumstances? “You see my boss/husband/best friend doesn’t understand that….”. OR “I wanted to do that...
Holding to standards
Similar subject, different angle. So once you have established your standards, how easy is it to slip, to drop them again? And how do you feel once you do? Is it a case of “oh well, this once won’t hurt”, which then turns into twice, thrice and then standards...
Standards – how well do you hold to yours?
One of the things I feel trips us up, is having different sets of standards for different areas of our lives. So maybe you give 100% of you at home, 50% of you at work. That can work, but let’s look at this a bit closer. You may have heard the statement - “How...
Why do you do the things you do?

Control or Chaos? Do you have to choose?
Do you know that you don’t have to personally do EVERYTHING? There is a handy idea called delegation. And yes, initially it may feel weird to not have your hand on the wheel 24-7, but it will create space for you. Space to breathe Space to relax that iron grip of...
Library of Codes
Two years ago, while on holiday on Namaqualand, I experienced a feeling of “coming home” - but it was to a Soul Home. I smiled this huge smile while tears streamed down my face. I spent 5 days in the area, just taking in the feeling and absorbing it all. Once back ...
Why Me?
Often in life things seem to go wrong, by our own definition of what should happen. And our default response is often - why did this happen to me? Which is closely followed by “what else can go wrong?” or even “how can it get any worse?” And you, usually, promptly get...
#UnfilteredTruth
#OldParadigm We are often so tied up with trying to maintain a certain facade or standard, that we seldom realize how much energy that takes. When we clear the reason for holding that facade, we first feel relief. This is closely followed by a feeling of euphoria and...
