Once again, this is a tough post to share, because I know so much of what was said comes from a place of people wanting what’s best for me. However, not everyone’s kindness and care or concern is esteem building.

Imagine a tree with a root system holding a tree firmly in the ground, no matter what weather condition Discovering our self-worth becomes our root system.
When I received the press release and video link to the?"What's your #BeautyLegacy" campaign by Dove, I watched it in awe of the responsibility it takes to be a parent to a young child (I don't believe only girls have self esteem or even beauty issues), but I couldn't relate and set the email aside. […]
When I was in high school, I nearly got my ass kicked out. Well, I did get booted home before the first lesson even began and was told not to return until I had changed my hair colour away from bright purple. Anything would be allowed, as long as it was natural brown, black or […]
The days are ticking by and single is becoming slightly more depressing. I know this happens around birthday time, which is 8 sleeps away. As it's crept closer I keep thinking about all the messages from people in their 40's, saying it was the most fab time and get ready for the naughty forties. Honestly, […]
Huddled on the couch, with a warm glow of serenity, I can't help but be in awe of the lessons that life has thrown at me in just a few day. It's cold outside, but all I feel is contentment and a proud student of life. I wasn't supposed to be on the couch. I […]
The saying is very true, that wherever you go you take yourself with you. So what does one do and where does one go when all you want to do is get away from yourself? I'm having one of those days and escaping the frustration I have with myself brings me to one of my […]
I feel like I haven't really gotten into the "what's happening in my life" stuff for a while but there's always a reason for that. I have these waves of guilt that I'm not committed enough to my blog and then I have moments of relief that I'm not blogging daily anymore. So much of […]
If I could pick an easier route at times, I think I would jump at the opportunity. That moment always ends up being fleeting when I realise how much I would have missed out on had I changed one moment of my life. It's been 15 months of blogging but it's been 7 years since […]
What fun things totally freak you out? Is it just me or does anyone out there also hate the camera that's whipped out at parties? Does anyone else have the?censorship rule with their friends about Facebook or Tweeted pics? Who else avoids full body shots?? It's been long awaited and very much anticipated but one […]
Nothing ... I miss teaching terribly. I realised last night, after my self discovery group with a few old students, that I'm going crazy without teaching. I've blamed money for my frustration for a while now but the realisation is that I'm not being me and it's chewing away at my self esteem. So this […]
I'm racing against time to blog because the electricity is off again thanks to the builders who are slowly mutilating the house around us. It's interesting to have to let it go considering we are officially tenants here, but there are builders, dust and spurts of water and power interruptions all the time. It's not […]
These past few days have been pretty memorable for 'project me'. It's not often that I get myself into a space that I battle to get out after a good dose of self reflection, a good chat with a friend or some ice cream. Granted, I didn't try the ice cream bit considering it's sis's […]
I know that I have the potential to have overly dramatic moments and days filled with a little too much chaos. I also know that I make good of those moments whether it's a seriously grown up lesson or I learn to laugh at myself and life a little bit more. Usually a good night's […]
Dear diary It's very seldom that I don't feel like blogging for the world to see and allowing everyone into my head and my heart. There is a fortune going on between the notification that we have to be out of the house by July and little sis's wedding in about 25 days time. The […]
