Creation, Limitation, and What If…?

I had recorded a whole voice note about creation and limitation. Poured my thoughts out. But then, I accidentally deleted it. Poof — gone. I was trying to copy the transcript. I just had to laugh. But maybe that was the point. Maybe not everything is meant to be repeated word for word. Maybe some […]

Exploring My Faith and Religion

I recently started exploring my faith and religion again. I don’t actually like to use the word religion, because I fully believe that it’s a word that divides people. I know that I will offend some by saying that, but it’s what I believe. Allow me to explain as best that I can. I like

#RandomThoughts

 Written 13 Jan 2008. Sometimes in life, it’s good to think about what and where you are going. I know it may sound awkward, but it’s healthy to question the principles that have been set out for you. The ideologies, the ‘norm’. I mean you don’t have to agree with them, but maybe you can

#ShowYourWork

 Alright alright! So I’ve been reading this book called ‘Show your work’ by Austin Kleon, and he talks about how you shouldn’t be afraid to show your process and what you are working on. And as I started this blog years ago and then stopped and now started again, I realise that I was afraid
