Have you ever had an encounter or experience and it was exactly what you needed for that precise moment in time? I personally believe those are moments sent to me from God, little moments of love; a hug from a father. You might believe they are from someone or something else and that’s ok. I’ve...

Just a Little bit more JoJo
After finding myself in a new place; my relationship ending after nearly two years and planning a future together and processing two miscarriages. I was a little lost and so have been on (and continue on) a journey of trying to figure out who I am and what I want from my life. I had... Continue Reading →
The Sexism of Shoes
Recently I became acutely aware of the massive difference in the shoes that women and men are expected to wear by ‘fashion standards’. It got me wondering about the health impacts of these inequalities and if we have really thought about the long term impacts of this. In January this year I started a more... Continue Reading →
Catching some zzzzzz’s
I have suffered from insomnia on and off for about 15 years. It seemed to kick off at the start of my nursing career when I was working varying shifts. It seems to be more linked with an overthinking mind. It really started when I began taking on responsibility- life and death responsibility-. My brain... Continue Reading →

Caring for the African children in the home, Black, Coloured... Continue Reading →

Happy Exhausted
I haven’t been doing as much writing as I’d like. Things have been quite hectic for me to say the least. Tomorrow marks day 9 since I started my new job. And I’m really loving it. It’s challenging. I’m learning and still have so much to learn. I also already feel appreciated for the skills... Continue Reading →
Diary of a Novice Gardener- Part 5
