“You make me feel so good…” the woman whispered sweetly in her partner’s ears as she accepted the watch for her birthday… “You make me soo *%%$@ mad!” The man shouted angrily at his son as he drew his leather belt from his waist… “You make me feel so happy, I’m so glad I found [...]

Life Lessons From a Turtle

I looked through my living room window yesterday and I saw of all things a turtle. A turtle? In our neighborhood? Cheez!   I later learnt that it was a pet which had escaped the confines of its upper class accommodation and perhaps decided to explore its surroundings. No problem, he was definitely f

Living in the RED!

“Who me? I should be living in the red? Stupes! What is the matter with this man? I’m struggling so hard to get out of debt and he come wid this foolishness!”  Those were my thoughts recently when I heard a priest make that declaration. I was attending the memorial service for a good friend [...]

When is the best time for a nervous breakdown?

Recently I had a conversation that went something like this:  Me (animatedly): Hi Friend X, I haven’t seen you in a while, whatever become of you?  Friend X (dejectedly): Girl, things are not good at all. As a matter of fact, I think I’m having a nervous breakdown!  Alrighty then!  I looked hard at

How Common is Common Sense?

All my life I heard my mother and my grandmother declare “common sense ain’t common!”  This statement always made me go very quiet and it still does even now because I always thought that if it were true, common sense would dictate that you change the name of this apparently uncommon thing to an equ

Discover your Best Self

Recently, a friend whom I talk to quite a bit, especially to bounce ideas and thoughts off each other, described in detail how I should scale back my “behaviour” so that people around me could feel comfortable dealing with me. The “behaviour” which I am supposed to scale back is my “cut to the chase

Dear Dr Phyl-lis…

Ever since I watched a few episodes of Dr Phil, I was impressed. Can you believe it? There’s someone out there who actually thinks like me: logical, practical and in your face. So today, in honour of Dr Phil, I write this post to answer a few of the many issues and items that people [...]

The Power of Power to Make me Lose Power

Politicians abuse it. Barrack Obama has it. Sarah Palin wants it but for me, it’s elusive. Last week Thursday, I decided I wanted to watch a movie and so, swaying my hips appreciatively, I approached my son’s DVD player courageously. You must understand that I have the ability to make the most robus

Living in the Generation Gap!

I am suspended on the precipice of indecision, juxtaposed between the quality of the past and the convenience of the present. I embrace the decency of the skirt length befitting my age, while I long for the mini skirt of my youth! What am I talking about? I’m talking about living between two generat

In Praise of Your God …

My mother never questions him. My grandmother exhibits the same blind faith. My great-aunt Clara swears that she has to have him at her bedside when she is dying. My children have denounced him. Me, I have a similar adversarial relationship as those I have with people whose authority I question. Who
