Friends of mine threw a birthday party for their daughter. She was turning 5; she’s an amazing girl, free to life with lots of energy. On the day of celebration, she was dressed in a beautiful white dress with sparkling black shoes and looked really stunning; a young beautiful Princess indeed. I knew her mom […]
Enjoy…
Sometimes, cooking is the farthest thing on my mind and the other evening was one as I just wasn’t feeling the kitchen. I had a strong craving for Subway as I heard her calling my name loud and clear. I answered and on getting to the store, I was greeted by a very welcoming, open […]

Innocence…
The other day, one of my god daughters reached out to me. We caught up on her day at school, what she had had for lunch and homework she was working on. She’s always happy, eager and excited when we get in touch and we always have a great exchange whether it’s over Face Time […]

The Dark side of Love…
I remember I was chatting with a colleague at my firm’s Christmas party last year. We traded stories about life, recent changes in our personal lives and general plans for the future. Of course we spoke about relationships; the good, bad and ugly of it because that’s what grown folks tend to talk about! I […]

They say they care…
Seeking life in institutions is futile…..simply because there are sinister elements in every institution. Be it in the form of education, religion or politics…..giving yourself to a structure or organisation that promises to care for you will only lead to disappointment and frustration. Institutions are a going concern and primarily seek to maximize key goals […]

Imperfections…
I’ve always had a keen interest in the Financial Markets. Graduating with a 2.1 in Economics and starting my career with a Global Bank was exciting; it exposed me to great minds, strong systems and complex products. I have 6 years of Institutional Financial Services experience under my belt at the moment and I have […]

Attraction is not a choice…
Sometimes her mood changes; now I find this very interesting because when it comes down to it, it is real. The basis, I may not initially understand or agree with but the flexibility, randomness and depth of her expressions are one of a kind. She is different from me and I accept that. We don’t […]

Happy…
The level of joy and peace we experience every day of our lives tends to vary…..however, the ability does not. It is more or less fixed….thus we can actually partake in as much of it as we choose to. This is deeper than the popular notion that joy and peace is impossible or that you […]

Missed Opportunities…
I was recently in need of a phone as a surprise birthday present for my girlfriend’s younger brother. So we spent some time discussing and searching the net for prices on the iPhone 5. Now I’m aware there are always better deals outside what is captured online. So I reached out to my contacts; namely […]

Similarities, diversity and happiness…
One school of thought suggests that our childhood plays a significant role in our lives as adults. Looking back on mine, I’m grateful for the exposure I had and I believe this keeps me yearning for more today. I write this in reference to places, people and events; the appreciation of diversity. I have travelled […]

Trying to let go…
Let things happen….let things go…..relax. Some of us fear that the world as we know it will be no more if we stop holding on. So our hands are stuck on the deck….because we can’t imagine it any other way. This is simply a fallacy…..the world is more than you and it will continue spinning […]

The Journey to Victory…
I recently got my driving license! That’s really good news for me and I believe anyone who has given themselves to accomplishing anything will understand. I grew up not really having to drive, I thoroughly enjoy being driven. As such, my time in the driver’s seat has been rather short lived and very random. Getting […]
