Looking back, the earliest account of my nearly paralysing perfectionism pace to my lower primary school days. As far as I can remember, I always owned a note book. Far from the usual ones in stores, mine was of an exercise book from my previous class that had not filled up from the subjects course work. Every now and then I would open it and put down my thoughts, mostly girly stuff not to mention naive reflections of a village-bred nine year old. I would give vent to my thoughts, which would flow through the pen onto paper and if I made a single mistake-of a misspelled word or jagged letter I would refuse to cross it out.

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." -- Søren Kierkegaard The year is over half way over, can you believe it?! Back in January, you probably set goals and may have added to that list along the way and if you want to make sure you achieve the goals you set like the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard said: "life can only be understood backwards..."

There are usually 3 parts to a relationship. The beginning,the middle and the end. Unfortunately most often than not we tend to confuse a relationship “ending” for a relationship “changing” whereas it is still in the middle even though it may be taking on a different form to what we've previously experienced.Just because we don’t like the change in form does not mean the relationship has ended. Lets break it down in part 1 of 3 in 'Evolving in relationships'

Happy almost Easter Ladies and Gents! This is a magical weekend. Interestingly, it's Good Friday, Hitler's Birthday, and Easter Sunday...😞 But back to the reason for this season we celebrate this week the coming of the savior of the world, Jesus Christ, God sent us all a gift, the gift of salvation, forgiveness, renewal, rebirth, and eternity.
