Just Love

I’ve put so many restrictions on love: how and why I should love, how and why I should BE loved. Whatever happened to just loving for the sake of it? Nothing in return, just giving love to others despite what my past notions may have been on giving and receiving love. Until I free myself...

An ‘A-HA!’ Moment At Work

We’ve all been there: under pressure, uncomfortably seated and with unbearably sweaty hands -the dreaded job interview. Whether it’s your first, second or final round, those 60 minutes – that can define your future – are effortlessly nerve racking.

Don’t worry, just Relax

Don’t worry, just Relax

I’ve never been known as one to relax. If my life could be a never-ending conveyor belt I’d be all for it.  This of course, catches up with me, as my high anxiety lifestyle can’t be maintained. People always tell me, “learn to relax,” but no one really taught me how. I find exercise helps...

Career – Validation is so overrated

I spent many years of my career waiting around for validation. Waiting for a boss, or superior to tell me that my work was good. In doing so I failed to realized that I was giving way too much power to someone who couldn’t possibly care about my life as much as I do.  I...
