self development – Beneath The Canvas

So I failed an Interview….

The week started rather anxiously waiting for what I thought was the job that was going to bring me back into employment.

I’m not superhuman and it’s ok

Not all superheroes wear capes, but every superhero has a duel identity living a normal life. I was trapped in a cycle of people pleasing, giving to people and the organisation but I was left empty and depleted mentally, emotionally and financially. This day marks 18 weeks since I left my job of 7 yearsContinue reading “I’m not superhuman and it’s ok”

Beware of the Chameleon in sheep’s wool

Beware of the chameleon wrapped in sheeps wool for he comes with a seductive sleep when nights are lonely.

Dreams….

Forgiveness is the key….

Inspiration on a journey again, only this time the carriage is empty. Funny how my moments of inspiration always happen when I am away from home. Tried to make peace with my past but it kept coming back to haunt me so finally I decided to confront it. There was no sunshine when he hadContinue reading “Forgiveness is the key….”

Beautiful package, beautiful gift…..

I couldn’t help but share this with the world after seeing this passage today from “Woman thou art loosed” edition KJV Bible by T.D Jakes, it’s so encouraging to anyone who may feel lost in themselves for a moment or for a long time. Based on Colossians 1:9-11…. The greater part of your attractiveness —Continue reading “Beautiful package, beautiful gift…..”

Control of self-control…….

What do i mean by control of self-control, it sounds confusing huh?!? I am a self confessed control freak and I am not talking about OCD type that needs everything to align with the corners of the table. I am talking about the type that organises her life in her mind and expects everything toContinue reading “Control of self-control…….”

Do you love me now…..

I leave you with this beautiful song by Nneka which seems to bring about moments of sadness, confusion, hurt, doubt and moments of compromise. The world is full of deceit and devious minds that may act innocent but it’s only later on that you find out the extent of the damage. Somebody once told meContinue reading “Do you love me now…..”

Romancipatience……

My first official post on relationships…..here goes. Romancipatience…as you can guess it’s about romance and patience. For too long I’ve heard my girl-friends say that they want to be in a relationship, that they are sick of being single, why doesn’t anybody want me?!? and so the story goes. On the contrary my guy- friendsContinue reading “Romancipatience……”

Patience…..

Sometimes we’re sent to a place that throws life into chaos. We don’t know how we arrived there but nonetheless we are there. Confusion and panic starts to set in, worry and uncertainty follows and then for a second…..you feel like power has been stripped from the life you thought you had control of. InContinue reading “Patience…..”

Slow down baby…..

It has been a minute since I’ve been back here. Inspiration came and went and I had no time to write it all down. That’s how life has been since. Amidst all that we do sometimes we have so much going on that we forget we have other commitments. We forget to look after ourContinue reading “Slow down baby…..”
