It was a quiet night. The absence of noise was what made me get out of bed. Being a city-girl the quietness of the countryside can be eeriy at times. Not to wake anyone I tiptoed around the room and quietly opened the window. Cold autumn air rushed around my head and into my lungs. … Continue reading Galaxy – G – A to Z Challenge

Celebrating Gratefulness during the holiday season by D.E. Haggerty – Day 8 Advent 2017
I had an entire blog post planned out in my head about Christmas traditions and how my husband and I had developed our own as he’s often in foreign lands far away from either one of our families during the Christmas holidays. But then I went to a BusinessBoost event and heard a talk from Mo Gawdat. This evening was supposed to be about entrepreneurship and risk-taking. Mr. Gawdat is the Chief Business Officer of the futuristic dream factory Google X. I expected him to talk about Google and taking risks in the IT industry. That is definitely not what I got.
In the cold – Day 1 Advent 2017
“Mom I am cold!”
“We’ll be there soon I can sense it,” she replied, not even pausing to hold her breath.
“I am cold too. And for ages we’ve only seen snow and trees, how can you be so certain that we’ll be there soon?” Her younger daughter chipped in.

Death is tough, especially for the person realising that their days are numbered when they are scared of death. Death is not easy. Dealing with it is not … Continue reading Dealing with Death
The Scent of Roses
The Scent of Roses When my parents got married almost 24 years ago my mom had a beautiful bridal bouquet. The roses were vivid in colour, red, pink, yellow. The colours were strong, not the faint pastel tones one is used to for weddings. My mother was not wearing white either, she wore a black … Continue reading The Scent of Roses
Z is for Zoned-Out #AtoZChallenge
Z is for Zoned-Out Last night I zoned-out again. I was sitting on the carpet no longer completely present, no longer completely realising what was going on around me.

She said that it would be better if I left the room, because she … Continue reading S is for Secret #AtoZChallenge
