The only mother I can be
‘It is not what I do; it is who I am.’ Some self-motivational chap somewhere on the Internet whose quote – despite my skeptical dispositions – I cannot seem to shake off. As most of you know, I have changed careers more than Kanye West said he loved himself. I think I can claim that IContinue reading “The only mother I can be”

Mood of the day: oh Boy!
I feel like I am dropping the ball a lot these days. I am sprinting in thousands of direction without knowing if I am ever going to cross ‘The’ let alone a line. Future will tell.
