I'm a middle-aged mom from Sunny South Africa. I am trying to find my way in this crazy world and find positivity and meaning in my everyday life. I've always enjoyed writing and hopefully can find a platform here.

The Soul Tree
There is a tree. It's a big tree. It looks like any other tree. It's big, been around for centuries, probably. It's not in any special sanctuary or marked by any particular qualities that make it stand out. It's just a plain, old, everyday, normal-looking tree. I've been to that tree. That tree is not a normal tree.

Impostor Syndrome
Have you ever felt like a fraud, created something beautiful and put it down because it's just a hobby, there's no way it'd be good enough to go to market? Never considered that you created something unique that is of value to others?

I Feel Nothing
Why do I not feel anything? Not hope, not failure, not pain Just a hollow emptiness And the possibility I may be insane Why do I not feel anything?

My Grampa!
I remember sitting on Grampa's lap as a kid Him giving me some of his shandy And I remember playing cards with him late at night
