I’ve a little time to spare and dabble in some writing so I’m going to do it. I’ll talk about that pride post. For the past week or so, I have been reflecting on a pretty bizarre and what has been, a somewhat horrid, turn of events. I am ofcourse speaking about the reaction to […]

Once a Cheat…..?
Hearing about people cheat brings an emotionally charged response from me. Expected, no doubt but I’ve also no doubt people underestimate how severe my reaction is towards those that do it. These past six months saw my good friend dating a man who she wanted to talk to me about. She was nervous about telling […]
Clingfilm; An App Disaster
One of my favourite online stories which I love to tell friends is the one about Clingfilm aka Sex Pest (S.P). I’ll admit I love watching their face change as this story unfolds but in part, I also want to know if they hold anything better in their arsenal of online wonderments. Turns out they […]
Fishing Online
I’m not one for online dating. I would much rather be my wonderful self at a party, have a lovely man saunter upto me, be struck by my amazing personality and live a happily every after. The modern world seems to have cut all that from nearly all cultures. Speaking to single friends of all […]
Forgive and Forget
This post was written in 2015, as I approached the one year mark of my official divorce. The problem is that once you deal with one issue concerning your breakup, it feel like another issue pops up. For me, this post related to the hurt I felt at those around me. Perhaps now I’m able […]
I Haven’t Changed
Post written in January 2015, around eight months after my legal divorce had become finalised. I haven’t changed. That’s a lie. Whenever people come out of some major life changing event and claim to be the same person. It’s quite simply a lie. It’s not possible to remain the same. Is it so shameful […]
Ramadan-ing it
In the lead up to Ramadan, my twitter was clogged up by excited tweets counting down the days to Ramadan and proclaiming how blessed we all are to see another one. Ramadan salutations start with a week to go and everybody seemed oddly giddy, waiting for the go ahead that the month of fasting had […]
A Man’s World
My attempts to put these posts in chronological order has failed a little as I forgot to include this one, written in October 2013. To an extent I still maintain this to be true – you only have to look at recent controversies that have taken place….can you name some? This journey which has unfolded […]
Hidden Soldiers
The bulk of work which I have done in Palestine is centred around vulnerable women and, in this instance, female headed households. One thing which I have always maintained draws me back to Palestine is the energy of the women there, some of whom I’m lucky enough to call friends. During my last visit, […]
That Time of Year Again
I’ve jumped forward a little and this post was written in October 2014. It was common for me in the first few years to end up on a bit of a downer in the leadup to November. So generally my posts from then don’t tend to be the most uplifting. But I think that’s quite […]
