Last week, I spoke about disappointment and resilience and how I've learnt that my strength was small (Proverbs 24:10) and that I needed to build resilience. As I think more on this, and reflect on the effect of therapy on my life, I'm realising that the more I submit myself to healing and working through... Continue Reading →
This week I learnt something new about myself ... Ope does not do well with disappointment. I realised that I struggle with handling disappointment and that I'm perhaps not as resilient as I would like to think I am...

Following the end of my degree I've had some time to think and reflect...one of the things that have been going through my mind is the need for me to be intentional and proactive. Thinking through my years at University I found that there were some things that I thought I could have done differently and better,... Continue Reading →
I think I posted a similar blog on this topic a few months ago but clearly, it’s still a lesson that I’m learning.
