It’s funny. I used to think I was a loner. Then I discovered I was a loner who needed to not be alone. Then I found myself in a situation where I was not alone but I felt a loner once more. Recently a few of my friends and I studied about relationship dynamics in […]
Read More Reflections of a LonerLife is precious. Life is particularly so because of the connections we make. From the beginning that connection between the mother and the child in the womb. It’s more than a physical connection. The connection is also there as the father notes the child that is a product of him and what has come from […]
Read More Connect and DisconnectOne of the highlights of the year was a gathering of folks somewhere in Derbyshire in the middle of June. Companionship and the sense of being on mission together was something that was really impressed on me. Seeing the group of people from different backgrounds but with the same heart to pursue what God has […]
Read More YIR15 – 06 – Getting TogetherThings happen and sometimes it happens to get us to look at who we are as well as what we do in order to see if it makes sense to persist or to change. April was such a month for that type of reflection. It was done in the company of good people who gave […]
Read More YIR15 – 04 – Sober Reflection for Promising ProgressThings got real interesting in March. There are circles and situations that I find myself in where things take place about me and around me, but I am usually the last one to know about it.

Having those experiences was a highly inspiring experience and it enthused me even in my work life where I began […]

The concept of the grapevine remains a very rich one in my understanding. That whole web of intrigue and gossip feeds a frenzy of misinformation and manipulation to people far and near, related […]
Read More The Grapevine vs The True VineI have done the loner bit for a long time. Sometimes the nature of my employment has reinforced the lone ranger approach. In as much as the employer might give platitudes about being in a team, day to day reality suggests otherwise. In recent times, I have not only acknowledged the value of teams but […]
Read More Thank God for … TeamI love the saying, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. I have spent years drinking in lots of information from books and visual media. Back in the day my best friend was the library. I don’t regret those days, I read some good books and watched some fascinating documentaries. What has happened […]
Read More Thank God for … ConnectionsShe had never felt more exhilarated. She had never felt more free. As she snuggled again in front of the telly to watch another episode of her favourite soap, she only felt a little restless.
