What would your eulogy say about you?
Death is so final, not much can prepare you for that kind of experience. I don't think that there is any kind of emotional or physical strength that can protect you from the harshness that is death. When someone dies we often find ourselves left behind...

You are beautiful. Yes, YOU are beautiful. I found myself in front of the mirror this morning repeating the words you are beautiful to myself. I find that there are very few compliments that can ever beat the "wow, you look beautiful today" compliment....

You don't have to be a perfect parent you just have to be a real one
If someone had to ask me what I thought the most difficult yet fulfilling job in the world could be, my answer would undoubtedly be being a parent. No amount of money can give you the joy parenthood can give you. Bringing up a child to become a healthy...

The teacher is always silent during a test
Teaching involves a lot of talking. A teachers morning starts at 07:00am and, although many may not believe this, ends at 16:00pm. Yes that's right, we do not work half day jobs! Amazing right! Out of those 9 hours we speak for about 7 hours of the day...

The power of a positive mind
Expecting to have a positive life while harboring negative thoughts is like planting feathers and expecting to harvest chickens. The things that you think about has the ability to lift you up or tear you down. Whatever you hold in your mind will tend...

Run your race, you are UNSTOPPABLE
It’s been a lovely long weekend of races for me; I completed my first 10km on Saturday and another 5km on Monday. I prepped my muscles the night before my 10km race and my nerves were absolutely shot. I kept asking myself if I was up to it. Ironically,...
