At the time of writing this, it is almost midnight on a Thursday. I haven’t published a blog in over six months, yet here I am, awake, sipping tea, and spilling my heart out on a page. The nostalgia is washing over me. Confession: I have not held much integrity in this space. When I […]

It’s that time of the year again. Actually, it’s past that time of the year again but let’s just leave that aside. On December 6th I turned twenty-eight and [as] [per] [tradition], here are some things I’ve learned over the past year… Being put under anaesthesia isn’t as scary as I once thought, but

I can’t believe March is here already. It seems like I was just writing my “27 Things I Learned” and now here I am, post-Zambia, post-Christmas, post-Surgery. It’s amazing how time passes.

First, I would like to thank you all for all of your supportive and encouraging comments on my last post. You have no idea how much you lifted my spirits–which I believe will be part of my healing. A quick update before moving on, my health hasn’t been great as of recently (even since my
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that my last post was back in February. Time does fly. There is so much to catch up on and so little at the same time. You will have to bear with me as my writing seems a bit rusty, and after a 96 hour Downton Abbey binge/marathon,
