I’ve recently been awarded my second blog award. The first blog award I decided to ….somewhat rudely really, ignore. I just couldn’t quite figure out why I didn’t want to accept it, but I didn’t want to. I didn’t have enough time think about it in depth. I didn’t want to just say ‘no,’ so [...]

This may seem like a bit of a contradiction to my last post of being in a tunnel, but over the last year, I’ve done a lot of doing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done a fair bit of contemplating too as well as bit of meditation here and there, but generally a lot of doing. [...]

Once upon a time life was good. Not easy, but good. She was the protector, the provider, the producer, the nurturer. She worked hard and was rewarded with the abundance of life.
