Trees need to grow deeper roots if they are to reach greater heights
We all get to the point in any endeavour, if we are truly committed for the long term, where our sense of purpose, intention and why is forgotten or breaks down. I reflect on some of the major decisions I’ve made over the past few years, many of which have been complete lifestyle and careerContinue reading “Trees need to grow deeper roots if they are to reach greater heights”
The things that cost nothing to give, but make you the richest
If the past few days have taught me anything it is that sometimes our willingness and courage to love comes from knowing that we have been loved ourselves. The same goes with kindness, empathy, understanding, encouragement, grace.

I have now been blogging for over a month!

Hey excuses, you’re not invited where I’m going!
I cannot desire growth and keep my excuses too. One thing the growth mindset exposed to me about myself was how often I used my lack of ability as an excuse. As soon as I started on the path of growth, the question that kept on persisting was this: How do you know you aren’tContinue reading “Hey excuses, you’re not invited where I’m going!”
My greatest power lies in the softest parts of my heart
When I see myself today some words that come to mind are: tender, soft, delicate, gentle, feminine.
