As I said last week, my words seem to have run away from me. I’m trying hard to get into the rhythm of holding on to them as they flit past me, dancing and teasing. After much deliberation, I have decided to write a series of posts on gratitude. In a way, no other topic […]

This That and a Bit of Gratitude
It has been aeons since I wrote here. In my defence, I have ten-plus drafts languishing on my hard-drive.

Sunday Brunch
This post is a compilation of the best online reads I found during the week. These thought have made an impact on me, have moved me a few miniscule measures closer to becoming the person I am meant to be. The post also gives links to my own posts written during the week, if you’ve […]
