More Focus, less Distraction
Last week, Instagram launched a new social media app called Threads. It was created to rival Twitter who according to the ‘kids’, is no longer fun since Elon Musk took over. He brought in changes that made most people claiming that Twitter will now be on its way out. I have been using Instagram since […]

Seasons change
One of my favourite biblical passages is found in Ecclesiastes 3. It is titled: ‘There is a time for everything’. In it, the author states that life has cycles and seasons for everything. For example, there is a time to laugh, and a time to cry; a time to plant, and a time to harvest; […]
A Minimalist experience
One of the first documentaries I watched on Netflix was ‘The Minimalists’. It follows two men, who, after losing family members and corporate jobs, decided to embrace a minimalist lifestyle. I watched it because the concept of minimalism had always interested me. After watching the documentary, I started exploring the subject further by watching YouTubers […]

As I am approaching the date of a milestone birthday, my brain constantly wants to replay past memories, mostly to bring me to these really daunting questions: What have you achieved so far? Did you get what you wanted? Are you happy with where you are now?
To Hope or not to Hope
When I was young, I used to own cassettes of ‘folk tales’. One of my favourite stories to listen to on my little radio was Pandora’s box. If you are not familiar, this is an old Greek mythology tale about how evil entered the world. The Greek gods asked Pandora’s husband to look after a […]
Learning to trust God
I previously wrote about how to navigate an uncertain season. One of the things I touch upon is trusting God. Now I want to expand a bit on this in this post. Firstly, trusting God is one of the most important aspects of this Christian journey and of our relationship with Him. We follow, obey […]
Change
Life is made up of seasons: cold seasons and hot seasons; forever changing. Change is actually an unavoidable occurrence in our life journey. However, if you ask most people they will tell you that as humans we don’t always love change. As a matter of fact, most people are scared of change and takes quite […]
