You need the F-word to feel fulfilled.

You need the F-word to feel fulfilled.

I do advocate swearing sometimes, but this isn’t exactly the F-word I’m referring to. When we feel unfulfilled, it’s a lot of the time because we don’t have things that we want, or we are dragging things along that weigh us down. So, what is the F-word? Indeed. It’s Forgiveness. If you let go of past hurts, you feel more fulfilled. If you are able to set that person from what they did, you achieve a lightness that (weirdly) fills you up. It’s much more fun to hold onto unforg

My biggest mistake this week.

My biggest mistake this week.

It's a common mistake. I'd guess you've made it as well this week. I think that Ariana Huffington is pretty cool. (If you don’t know who she is, she’s a big name in the world of media - does the Huffington Post newspaper ring a bell)? Apart from being a successful businesswoman, she is wise - and is kind enough to share her wisdom. So when she brought out a book about SLEEP, I was a bit underwhelmed. I thought, “Duh. Sleep good. No sleep bad.” Super eloquent, I know. Until y

How Kevin Anderson won Wimbeldon

How Kevin Anderson won Wimbeldon

Yes. I watched the match - biting nails and screaming at the TV. Technically Djokovic won - in terms of sets. But, Anderson had another thing going. If you're wondering, I am biased (the South Africa link and all.) So how did Anderson win? 1. Time & sweat Anderson started playing tennis when he was 6. He's been going and going and putting in the hard work for 26 years (that's twenty-six). Working at your craft for that long is impressive. Keeping at it, day in and day out. A

The best app on my phone - and it will surprise you.

The best app on my phone - and it will surprise you.

I'm not going to keep you in suspense unnecessarily. It's the Weather app. Why on earth would I say that? I'm not that socially awkward that I revert to talking about the weather. Well, not always. So what is my fascination with the weather app? Life is pretty dark right now. Literally. In the Southern Hemisphere we are in the midst of winter. My friends in Europe will understand - life is cold and dark. Days are short, sunshine is rare. My life perked up on 21 June 2018 at 1

Chasing snow in Africa - and why you should too.

Chasing snow in Africa - and why you should too.

I love snow. I truly do. It's magical and white and fresh and exciting. Life comes to somewhat of a standstill in my town when the weatherman predicts snow. We've been freezing lately. Well, as much as South Africans can freeze in uninsulated homes. Down jackets and log fires. For all that drama, we were indeed rewarded with a beautiful dusting of snow on our higher altitude mountains. For an American or European, that might sound especially normal. For me, it is the highligh
