Defining Love

Hi Friends, Can you believe it's already September? These months have been flying past us and soon it'll be a whole new year. It's in these very fast-paced days that I've been trying to find the time to reflect on the things I've learnt and unlearnt over the past few months and years.  If you're someone who knows me, you'll know how deep I can get when it comes to life and the little things. The little things that aren't so little. Lately, I've had to redefine what love means to me. I feel like I'm still growing up and every time I think I know what it means for me, God throws me a situation that makes me break it down even further to discover it at its core.  It's been especially hard to go through these experiences when you've grown up with a distorted view of what love looks like. Again, I ask myself what does love look like? Freedom. Non-attachment. Acceptance. I hear these words being used so often. Easier said than done. I cringe wh

Thank You and Take Care...

 Hey friends,

As we go through the final weeks and get ready to bid a final farewell to another year gone by, I hope that each and everyone of you has been able to keep your compassion intact and your hope at the forefront of what has been a nightmare of a year.

We have been through so much in the past few months but one thing is for sure, the love that this year has brought out will not go unnoticed. The year 2020 will go down in history as the year we remembered who we were and what we were put on this earth to do.

As we gently place our loss and grief of this year in a glass box with the shattered pieces of our hearts sprinkled over it, as we look forward with hope of a better year ahead I pray that the lessons we were taught this year are remembered and that we never lose sight of what is truly important. We don't need much. We've never needed much.

This was such an inspirational year for me. You have all inspired me in some way, shape or form. The resilience and determination I've seen has lit a flame in my soul like no other. 

For so many of us this year was the push we needed to take that leap of faith and do that one thing we always wanted to do but never had the courage/time to do. I bet your tolerance for people has never been this good in a long while, too! I've learnt a lot about patience and prayer in a time like this. Leaning on God was the one thing that gave me absolute comfort. 

I am so grateful for all of you and the support and love I received this year. I have never been more excited to be part of a digital world than I have been this year and while some of us are brave enough to be going out and partying the night away on new year's eve, I hope that you will still keep in mind that we still have a virus on the loose. 

Before I go, I want to leave you with an excerpt of one of my favourite poems by Minnie Louise Haskins.



Let's be safe and take as much precaution as necessary so that we don't need to go through this year AGAIN. Please. Just no. I wish you all a fruitful and blessed new year with so much love, laughter  and so many opportunities that it makes you remember what life felt like before 2020. See you in the new year.

Let's finish strong,
P

Hey friends, What a time to be alive, right?! From Covid-19 taking over the world in a few months to the protests surrounding the late George Floyd's death. This has been a whirlwind of a year already and evidently overwhelming for a lot of us. I almost feel as if I'm in a movie but this is real life! These are the things 2020 has brought in with it. This year has definitely told us to sit down and shut up because it has something to show us. With everything going on right now, I felt the need to speak up about it. I feel a need to shift my focus, as we all have felt in these trying times. So here I am taking the first step. The first step in our lives has always been a monumental part of transformation. It's been a sign of change. Like the first step you took as a baby, or riding your bike without training wheels for the first time. Scary but necessary. It's how we learn, it's how we grow. This is necessary to me, to open up about the issues we face
