A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.
Felicia’s grip on the phone was so tight that anyone could see the outlined streak of the veins on her hand.
She stuttered in disbelief as she slowly sat down. Her legs had gone all weak at the knees.
“Maybe you should come to the hospital Mrs. Vienna and talk to Dr. Patul. Would you like me to book a date?” The nurses droning voice continued at the other end.
Her mind whirred in tumult. How could the results come back negative? She felt so sure that Pete’s bloodwork was a mere formality. He would be a perfect match and donor for his twin brother Paul.
Now the result says the brothers are not twins, as a matter of fact, technically they are not brothers. What went wrong? She just couldn’t make sense of it all. This is all confusing…

Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time.
We are asked to look beyond the world’s definition of our worth and meaning. Everything in the world would tell us we are powerless – helpless to change the world. Monkey encourages us to believe in our own magic.
I find her articles fascinating. Take a look.
Rumors and gossips: A strong poem that depicts the loss and waste of a mind that idles. A goldmine gone down the drain!
CURIOSITY. “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why.” Bernard Baruch
The desire to know arouses the interest of discovery. He kept peering closely at me as I fiddled with my camera, keeping me company for a lil’ bit while I explained what I was doing to him.
I told him that I was equally as curious as he is 🙂

Mesmerize me with the harmonious flow of your words,
Our sizzling hot monthly blog bash will take place this Saturday/Sunday 28th – 29th of May, 2016. Let’s close out the old month and usher in the new ‘Summer’ months with some …
Hurt! Are you hurting and have you let all the pain become defining factors in your life? How many of us have let hurt keep us down?
It’s natural for us to feel hurt or disappointed from failures and possibly withdraw into our shells, but the sad thing is that some take it that it’s the way their life is meant to be, thus they remain withdrawn or at best living their lives at half mast.
Remember that the entirety of your life is far bigger than one fall, so you must keep rising. Remember that odd circumstance could just be a detour that could always turn around.
Remember that those deliberate negative aims from others are just in a bid to keep you where they feel most comfortable ‘under their thumb.’
Ask yourself. Is that where you deserve to belong?
Next week, I’ll share a post on how to get past the pain and to live on purpose.

On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
Roaming around
Park walk way
Loungers
The Zabeel park library
Play time
A kitty came to play
Pruning the palms
Some planets
People watching
Some part of the office where I spend most of my working week.
A peek out of my office window
Knick knacks on the window sill
We met the benevolent cat lady 🙂
These days the eye of the Sun rises sharply around 5.am over here and by mid-day, it’s steaming hot. Alas, my days of weekend park forays will be cut a little short
We managed to sneak in a park visit last week, spent some time at the lovely library, played football, ate our sandwiches and ice-cream and generally lounged till it got too hot and we left for home.
We satin our homes and travelled to many exotics locations. Hop on let’s go and see
Saying thanks: Lady Lee shows us great pieces, delicious platters and shares snippets of a wedding in London. I hope she’ll give us a peek to her trip when she returns 🙂
A lady of many talents Compelling pieces of artwork from Kat Myrman herself. She’s one bundle of a talented lady 🙂
Giggles and Tales: Absolutely gorgeous bits of Denmark. If I can climb into a picture, I would.
The village: When I say this village is enchanting, I mean total enchantment. I felt like I was reading my childhood books by Enid Blyton and those sweet romance of Barbara Cartland 😉
Thoughts and entanglements My children would totally love this place. Skateboards, calmness and crickets…
Now, don’t horde the beauty of life around you, just for yourself. Do share with us 😉

Singing for our supper: I’ll love to place my feet on these paths of the Apollo Walk of Fame. Beautiful scene. Maybe putting my feet on the mark of James Brown will earn me dexterous dancing toes 😉
Odd-ball: Some vintage bikes. Bet they are worth a packet.
Our Southern mothers: Ha! The good old precious times. I truly enjoyed this post though I’m not a Southern girl, but I could play the scenes in my head. Check it out.
Strolling through Paris: Paris de mon cœur – Paris of my heart, a refreshing visit to the ‘bon quartier‘ is long overdue. Beautiful post that makes me reminisce 🙂
Defective medium: Every medium in the life of man is defective because man by nature is not flawless. As the Bible would say “the heart of man is desperately wicked” this poem says a lot.
Tuesday chatter: a breezy chat with my dear Eugenia is always so cheering and worthwhile 🙂
I wanted to join the Kindness challenge right from the onset but with so much on my schedule, I could barely see where to fit it in until an idea struck me that I could tie it with my daily observation of everyday people. I’ll try as much as I can to keep to the challenge for the next few weeks.
However, having always being a people observer, over time, I’ve noted both the lapses in human kindness as well as the beautiful expressions of kindness people show.
The lady below caught my attention during my early morning visit to the park over the weekend.
Pets and strays are not particularly a favourite in this part of the World though people own their pets and learn to keep them behaved, but in the case of strays, they are at the mercy of mercy.
I’d noticed the cute kittens when they wandered closer but within minutes, I was privy to a scene that made me happy.
The kittens seemed to know that their benevolent ‘Cat lady‘ was on her way, so they wandered out of their hidden corner.
She buys food for them from a nearby Waitrose and comes to the park to feed them each day, under the scolding gaze of the groundskeeper.
We had a chat and she related to me on how she had been told off severally by them, but her mind just couldn’t let her be when she thought that they were starving and now the groundskeeper ignores her 🙂
She couldn’t take in pets ‘cos her apartment is ‘no pets allowed.’ We talked about letting an animal shelter know about the little ones and she agreed to look into it and I thanked her for doing what she was doing.
I left with some sense of happiness. Her kindness didn’t go unnoticed.
It’s a blog party this weekend 28/29th May Join the meet, greet and mingle train. It’s always fun and full of awesome folks. We would like to meet you; oldie, newbie, in-between etc. It…
