Listen

Just listen.
Listen. When other people are talking, let them express their thoughts, their opinions, and their feelings, especially their feelings. Don’t just let them talk; listen to what they are saying. Pay attention. Try to understand.
Listen. You don’t have to agree. As a matter of fact, whether you agree or not should be beside the [...]

My heart

It was 5 months ago today that I started blogging. This weekend marks the end of another eventful year in my life. What I am most thankful for in 2006 is my heart – for it has been my wise and faithful guide.
I am truly blessed with the wisdom of my loving heart. Love is a form of [...]

I Feel a little Special

 
A good friend had told me “Jemima, if you feel a little special this Christmas, it’s only because you are!”
Now I know that I really am!
Please click this link and you’ll know what I mean.

Handle with Care

Life is filled with events that cause human beings to feel stress, a natural chemical reaction to adverse situations. Properly channelled and regulated, stress can help us be more productive, energetic, and alive.

Ride Out the Storm
We can choose to accept some stress as a natural by-product of being fully alive. With patience and faith, we [...]

Small Delights

Life is made up of little things. Big events like births, graduations, weddings, family reunions at Christmas and other milestones of life are important, but the greatest percentage of life is lived in the daily round.
When you open your eyes in the morning, be fully aware of how good the bed feels. Enjoy the simple pleasures of [...]

Have A Blessed Christmas!

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass [...]

Would you lie with me..?

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget [...]

I’ll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now.
But, don’t be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through
cause I’ve seen the dark side too.
And when the night falls on you,
and you don’t know what to do,
Nothing you confess
could make me love you less..
I’ll stand by you,
I’ll stand [...]

Elegance

 
On the eve of my departure from Melbourne, I came home from my final shopping to find “The Audrey Hepburn Collection” Boxset in my bedroom.

The 5 DVD movies are: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “Paris when it Sizzles”, “Funny Face”, [...]

Mark: But for now, let me say – Without hope or agenda – Just because it’s Christmas – And at Christmas you tell the truth – To me, you are [...]
