Love? Life? Joy!
I have the best job in the world. So I’m told by everyone I meet and so I tell everyone I meet. I mean, I get paid to travel the world and write about it. My time is my own, I can write to my heart’s content, or not, whenever or wherever I choose. I have the flexibility to get on... Read the rest of this post...

Dear All, Recently I’ve undergone a drastic makeover and have gone from having very long hair to having quite short hair! Everyone in my life seems to like my trendy new hair, however trend is not something I pay much attention to… I actually cut off my long, lovely, feminine hair to be able to make a donation for little...

The other day I was reminded of a small thing that brought me straight back to my childhood. It was an interest of mine. I wondered why that interest had ever disappeared. I was quite self-assured when I was younger. I was aware that people used to make fun of me for the way I looked or for my unusual... Read the rest of this post...

Here’s a rather generic question we often encounter that might just hold something deeper. This is a question we’re faced with almost everyday by multiple people in the plethora of shops we visit. ‘Would you like a bag?’ I try to live a life as green as I can (the good kind of green), and one thing I always try...

The other day I was walking along the street on my way to the station in broad daylight when suddenly, from out of nowhere, this geezer on a bicycle rides INTO ME. Stop right there. Already this statement has flagged two components that, quite frankly, piss me off: rude people and cyclists. Okay it wasn’t quite a head on collision but... Read the rest of this post...

It’s time to be honest, every now and then I compare myself to others. Sometimes it’s other writers who are more successful than me, and other times it’s people who I don’t even know, but it seems like they’re living extraordinary lives.

I have been trying to demystify the meaning of love for quite a while. I’ve written many-a-blog about the subject, searched history books (okay Wikipedia), women’s mags and Mariah Carey songs on the quest to discover what ‘love’ actually constitutes. The other day I was standing at a bus stop. In the rain. When it hit me: All this time... Read the rest of this post...

It really concerns me that people around me seem to be constantly dieting and trying to lose weight. Why should I have such an interest in this? Surely people can do what they want to their own body? Of course they can but the problem, for me, is that it seems as if it’s primarily women who are constantly having this... Read the rest of this post...
