The meaning of love is not to possess – that’s what I keep realizing
It’s 2: 29 PM on day 3029 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and spend time outside, do some work
This year more than any other I learned that the meaning of love is not to possess it’s wanting people to be happy even when their happiness won’t include you

Today I’m feeling the pain of dreams that may forever remain unrealized and IT HURTS hopefully I can cry it out and be okay
A life of meaning is worth more than silver and gold – that’s my message to the world.

Today I was reminded that the quality of our lives and our general happiness is determined by how many meaningful moments we can string together. A rich life is a meaningful life
Pity wrapped in kindness is still pity – that’s what I’ve realized.

Yesterday we were playing 30 Seconds with family and after I was done asking with my turn a family member says maybe for her instead of 30 seconds we could do 45 seconds to which my sister responded no, 30 seconds are fine…she’s fine! I LOVED THAT because at least to one person in the room I wasn’t deserving of pity wrapped in kindness.

Recently I had the honour of meeting the awesome, talented and caring Charmaine Taylor – jewellery designer of the Legacy Collection, the Legacy Collection is truly unique because it consists of jewellery made from Robben Island’s original prison fence. I LOVE that Charmaine turns something that was once a symbol of oppression into things of beauty. In many ways Charmaine and I are very much alike she turns a prison fence into things of beauty and I am trying to turn my life story which was meant to be a tragedy into somewhat of a triumph.
