Passion! We live during a time when the saying ‘Nothing new under the sun’ rings very true. Finding your passion… Is this still even a thing? Do people still lead with passion? Or is passion overrated? Is it just another buzzword? How much has already been written about this?…

You are not alone in your depression
I was going to title this post something like ‘You are not alone’, but ended up adding ‘in your depression’ because I feel it is high time we talked about depression loudly and in open spaces. No more talking about it as if it doesn’t exist, as if it is…

Labels: Who are you?
One of my favourite passages in the bible is the one where Jesus asks his disciples ‘Who do people say the son of man is?’. In Matthew 16:13. Feels like an out of the blue question. His disciples had answers, but it only got real when he asked them “But…

It’s never too late to start over
I started writing this post late last year and could not believe how quickly time had passed. I mean, its January one minute and the next we are singing Christmas carols. It feels like just yesterday when the year was starting and we were so excited, eager for all the…

Not everyone likes you
My daughter said that to me and I felt so proud. I will admit though that I was slightly saddened by my then 4 year old’s observation. Until I remembered that I also don’t like everyone. (Don’t judge, you also don’t like everyone) And that’s fine. They also…
