Make Your Story Matter by Abbie Emmons
Another audiobook review, thanks to NetGalley. There are writing books that leave you with a notebook full of tips. Then there are writing books that make you want to abandon everything else you’re doing, open your laptop, and finally write the story that’s been...
Women’s Day in South Africa: Honouring Courage, Community, and Celebration
Every year on 9 August, South Africans commemorate National Women’s Day, an occasion rooted in one of the most significant acts of peaceful resistance in the country’s history. While the public holiday provides an opportunity to appreciate the women in our families,...
Music Monday – Katy Perry

Music Monday – Katy Perry

Like most of her songs, this one is very catchy. And I like that it's about finding your own voice, remembering that you have a choice, and standing up for yourself. It's easier said than done, but it's something nice to aspire to. Here's to a great week! Related...

Here’s to August being (almost) over

Yes, I've been a bad blogger, not updating for over a week, and then messing up the rhythm even more by posting a music video on Friday. I hope that things will calm down a bit and normal programming should resume soon. In the meantime, aren't you as happy as I am...

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

This weekend I was plagued by the most counterproductive (cycle of) thoughts: the twins of despair better known as "what if" and "if only".  And they're still around, despite my knowing that thinking like this will not end well. Right now my biggest regret is moving...

A song for so many people

A song for so many people

I've been chatting with an awesome lady on Twitter for a while now, and she posts a song on her blog every Sunday. I guess I'm doing the copycat thing with Music Mondays, but generally I don't have time to write a proper blog post on the first day of the work week -...

Why ask why?

Why ask why?

Just got home from a day of errands and bonding: got the tyres and bulbs for my car, and went to a creative/craft expo with my mom on the other side of Johannesburg - she doesn't do driving in Jhb. After that I took her to see my new place, picked up my migraine meds,...

Metallica in concert – the experience of a lifetime

Metallica in concert – the experience of a lifetime

This post contains profanity. It is also not exactly a conventional concert review; it’s a bit of an epiphany. As this is my happy space, I won’t write about the gates opening late, the awful opening acts, Metallica leaving us waiting until 21:35 to rock our worlds,...
