If I had to take dipstick research and ask: “Do you want the truth?”, I suspect I would get a resounding positive response. We all claim to want the truth. It’s the existential foundation of the soul. We are always at odds with ourselves, others and the Universe, in general, when we do not live……
In a digital world with access to gigabytes of information, one would think that we’re more informed, more educated and more enlightened. On the face of it, this appears to ring true. Google brings us everything we need, wherever we are. Artificial Intelligence [AI], even though clouded in a hail of apocalyptic predictions, is a……
From the moment my biological clock first started to knock at around 27 years, to when it was banging at 35, I always wanted a daughter. The reason was simple. I wanted to recreate the relationship I had with my mother, who was taken from me at a young age. It just felt right; a……

We need to stop romanticising being part of a twosome. Every soul is whole and complete from the moment of conception. We are one in the love of the Creator and that is all that matters. Once we leave the palace of the womb, some kicking and screaming louder than others, we are received into……
Are you longing, pining to be part of a duo that brings you ‘happily ever after’? The wedding industry gets 10 on 10 for perpetuating the fairytale, creating a multi-million-rand sector that can sell ice to an Inuit. Perfectly rational women, even those doing it for a second or third time, morph into emotional freaks……
There is a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8. This is my favourite verse in the entire Bible. If you just understand this, it alone will bring you a lifetime of peace and tranquility. I’ve always had an older soul. One of the first indications of this was that my Mum treated me as an……
What is it about waiting that disturbs us? It rocks us to the core. As individuals, as a collective.
