Life changes in a Heartbeat
I feel that the sudden turn of events is somehow still reverberating through me on some level. I have come through many challenging times in the past few years and was just getting my life on track and enjoying some greater ease. Now this. Its an emotional rollercoaster and its important for me to return to and maintain my equilibrium.

When feeling alone is a natural state of being

What is the sound of your silence?
Is it silent because we’re not speaking? Or is it silence because we’re not listening? Here in South Africa, we lost another beloved celebrity to cancer yesterday.
