There was this interview that just felt flat. One of the key reasons why it felt so flat was that as engaging as the subject of the interview was, the person asking the questions sounded so dry, stilted and stale. It was great credit to the person being asked that the answers given were so […]
Read More A Flowing ConversationSome people prefer earphones to headphones. They like the way it can fit snugly and provide the quality soundscape they are looking for. I don’t mind earphones, but I prefer headphones. They make a statement and create an atmosphere far beyond the desire for more bass. A statement headphones often make is that you may […]
Read More A Word On HeadphonesI can imagine it can be a thankless task – Being a defence lawyer when the person being defended is definitely guilty. That cannot be a job you can do and sleep that well at night unless you have set up some strong coping mechanisms. Ones like saying you are performing an important part of […]
Read More Appreciating Other Perspectives and the IndefensibleAmong other things that have happened this year has been the growing appreciation for others who excel in the areas I love. I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess. That has reminded me that I got into blogging and persisted in it because of […]

She was cool with the encouragement, she just didn’t want to be told what to do. Especially seeing as […]
Read More Will The Circle Ever Be Broken? Sandra’s StoryThe saying goes an apple a day keeps the Doctor at bay if you hit him hard enough with it. It didn’t take me much to like apples. They’re a great fruit. It has so many uses. It is arguably the most versatile fruit. It is important, however, that it is used well or else […]
Read More An Apple.I must confess that I have been guilty of taking some scriptures out of context. One is the glorious saying in scripture “Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord.” (Zechariah 4:6) It is worth checking that verse in its context for yourself. My misuse of the verse has seen […]
Read More Is It Fit To Fit?Sometimes I can have an extended season of interest in something. I’ll be all over it and fascinated to find out about it. Some of those things become a regular standby for me. I can venture there in my mind whilst waiting for a loved one to finish their engrossing conversation about something or other. […]
Read More There’s More To It Than ThatDeath is a topic some people avoid. You know the concerns – it’s being morbid, it’s a bit depressing, there’s nothing that good to say about it and for some it triggers some pretty traumatic memories.
