This month has been intense. Having been on this planet for quite some time, I can say that life is escalating. Social media is one contributing factor with research revealing that we spend more time on our smart phones than not. I am learning to be receptive to life.

Escape routine
I do not believe in resolutions so have not made any so far. Instead, I have drawn a visionboard, which involves cutting random images from magazines and glueing them onto a big piece of vanguard. 2021 has been gentle so far in terms of challenges. Last year was extremely challenging for me, being the year … Continue reading Escape routine

Beyond the Surface
I have been following recent events in the USA. Having grown up in a small Pacific Island Country, I never really looked at the colour of someone's skin. The only labels placed on me was the identification of "Other" or "Part European" on the school application forms my parents had to fill out in the mid 1980s. With the … Continue reading Beyond the Surface
Making Space
This week I had the opportunity to resume repainting and fixing my old family home. The Fijian Government has allowed its citizens to gather with less than 20 people since Monday this week, provided that physical distancing is followed and if there is nothing people have to do, to stay home. Today, I decided to … Continue reading Making Space
