I believe that people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. That there is an expiration date to all relationships. The end comes for us all, either through death or break up (term used loosely). So when someone exits stage left I bid them a sorrowful farewell, but do not

I’m creeping up to that age where apathy for the needs of others is becoming a warm, fuzzy blanket. For the vast majority of my life being selfish was seen as a negative trait. That it was my duty as the eldest daughter, a mother, a wife to prioritize the demands of family over the

“Why would I pay for something I get to see for free?” In another life that would have been a blow to a fragile ego. These days? Not so much. My ego is in a reinforced steel vault that would require something pretty significant to dent it. I’m not even certain anything could get through

One of my favourite songs is “Dela”, by South African band, Savuka. They released it in 1989, when I was 8. Every time it plays, which is often for me, it weaves a spell. Soaking into my skin, taking over my grey matter, pulling invisible marionette strings and I dance like a happy demon has
