                                       #WORDLESSWEDNESDAY I haven’t written a post on my blog for 8 days now!!! I’m getting withdrawal symptoms. Well, it’s not that I haven’t been writing. I have, but just for my posts for the impending A to Z Challenge 2017. I miss participating in all those fun prompts, but then to gain something you got to lose something.  Last two weeks…

#AtoZChallenge2017- Theme Reveal : {Travel Epiphanies}

Ahoy Amigos! So, it’s that time of the year when a whole lot of bloggers are whipping up their pens, or polishing their keyboards, and gearing up with bated breath for the much awaited AtoZ Challenge 2017. I’m a complete newbie to this but I’m so very excited. I’ve written for as long as I can remember; way back in school, then re-starting after years of hibernation and then again falling back and re-starting. I recently chose to take a sabbatical…

Hey, I’m Just Quirky, Not Murky!

Hey, I’m Just Quirky, Not Murky!

  #THANKFULTHURSDAY: WEEK #19 CELEBRATING MY 5 WOMANLY QUIRKS I thank my lucky stars to be born as a woman. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s fascinating to be a woman. We can doll ourselves in the best of attires, accessorised to the hilt and then we can be casual and cool as a cucumber, walking around in flip flops, tracks or shorts, no eyeliners, no blow dried hair. Instead, oiled hair, tightly pulled in a bun,…

#WordyWednesday : Way Back Into Love

This Week: Phrase Prompts Jane of all trades Joined at the hip Jump on the bandwagon Just what the doctor ordered I bustled around the house, coffee mug in one hand and Alison’s school uniform in another. It was the usual Monday morning rush hour. Suddenly my phone rang. It was Jeff. He gruffed, “Andrea, where is the presentation?” You were to send it to me by 7 AM, it’s already 7:10.” Jeff was a stickler of time. Some of…

It’s also that time of the year when women are celebrating their identity and the wonderful being that they are. They are coming together to commemorate sisterhood and all the qualities God bestowed upon them; while he created these Goddesses at a leisurely pace. Women’s day celebrations have been upon us, a week in advance. Social media is…

The 5 Incredible Women in My Life

The 5 Incredible Women in My Life

Celebrating My Women   Blessed are women like me who have women who have our backs come what may. In this dog eat dog world, where self-centeredness has replaced goodness, I have been blessed to have met many women who have been my anchors, teachers, guides, friends in distress, friends in fun times and without whom I would have missed out on a whole lot of things life has to offer, or would not have been the person I am….

#TeaserTuesday: Return to the Little Coffee Shop of Kabul

    “Don’t grieve, the old woman had quoted from Rumi. Anything you love comes round in another form.  Well, Sunny thought, I’m good with that. As long as it doesn’t come around as a shitload of fog.”     It’s kind of uncanny I picked up the sequel. But the cover and the title of the book was way too enticing and intriguing to have been left back on the bookstore shelf. This prompt was initially hosted by Jenn…
