Flashes of memories - MUGABE MUST GO!!! ZIMBABWEANS NEED THEIR HOME BACK

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness - Carl Jung To be at one with God is to be at peace ... peace is to be found only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul. - Ralph Waldo Trine

sleepless nights

There is something about a sleepless night
that makes even the bluest of skies grey.
The sweetest twitter of birds transforms

restless leaves

Rings around the moon,
droplets of rainbow light
shimmer in wispy clouds

What are your travel disaster stories?

Brighton Pier after it burned down

It does not take rocket science to figure out that I love to travel, in fact I think I may have Gypsy ancestors somewhere along the line. For me it is as important as breathing! I also have a rather magnetic attraction... to disasters, which makes for an interesting combination. Part of any travel is the actual journey. If you are heading overseas you are more than likely going to use planes (although for a rather adventurous alternative check out this post). Chances are your flight will be smooth gliding all the way, a few turbulents here and there and maybe a frustrating wait in an Immigration line or two.

sleeping in airports is always fun!

For me? Nah! Wishful thinking. The first flight that i had which was a little adventurous was flying home from South Africa once. I think we either had a kamakazee pilot who decided at the last minute that living was not such a bad option or he looked out the window and went, 'Oh dear there`s the airport, nearly missed it that time Joe!' One minute everything was going great the next we felt like we were in a nose dive. I think I left scratch marks in the arm rest of the chair I clung on so tight

Do you like to play with fire?

Monday again tick ... tock ... tick ... tock ... To say that I get bored easily is probably one of the biggest understatements of the century. To say that I despise monotony comes in tie with the previous statement. So the fact that my week consists of the same thing, with the same people, with the same conversations is a recipe for disaster

MAJOR DILEMMA!

So I`m just going to lay it on the line. I have the chance to buy my own business right... it`s something that I can feel I would love doing and it would mean I get to live and work in one of my most favourite places. (For privacy reasons I can`t really say what it is right now). Sounds ideal right?

Wrong! I have absolutely not one iota of experience and it`s a job that requires quite a lot of experience! So there goes the confidence straight out the window. I`m not completely stupid and learn quickly... but there is huge doubt that I will screw it up... and it will put me back about the five hundred steps I have crawled to be where I am now
