The devil is conniving. He finds areas of weaknesses, and feeds on them. He feasts on hurts, disappointments, rejections and regrets et al., and circles around them until thats all we see...Until we believe his lies, give up and accept his definition of who we are...Until we take the defeatist stance and remain stuck in …
I had a revelation while rocking a friends’ baby to sleep some days ago, and it was a unique experience. Baby is at that curious inquisitive stage, and its a beauty to watch the excitement and awe of discovering something new through her darting eyes. She is alert, and doesn’t want to miss a thing, …
I am a thinker. I tend to think and overthink things. I am a sucker for the knots and bolts of any story, opportunity, situation, gesture or compliment. I think, think and think some more, until my thoughts weaponize, and I question and convincingly talk myself out of anything good. That is: Anything that requires …
I am fresh off the boat. Off the boat of self doubt and fear. Off the boat that says I am not enough. Fear has a scent. A repulsive one that chases dreams away. It is like a vinyl record, and it spins on procrastination. It thrives on not today, maybe tomorrow, then it’s …

The story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible is one that we have heard multiple times. It is a story that shows the harsh reality of a selfish intolerant world, but one that also hits our sweet spots because the end of the story is good, and the bad taste it initially leaves in …
Period cramps are the worst, and I am generally not my best self the first day or two. In my cramp funk I remembered a conversation that I had with a friend a few days back. In this conversation, my dear sweet darling friend revealed to me that she had no clue what it felt like to …
