Bring balance back to the force
Many years ago I did a Reiki Practitioner course and learnt about the four pillars; Physical, emotional, spiritual , mental. If I recall, Karen called them aspects. But I called them pillars because if one cracked, the other 3 would fall down too. I was thinking a lot about this as we head into a…

Another Year Gone… 2022
Today is 31 December 2022. Every year at around this time I would write a memoirs from the future post where I reflected on each month of the year and would select some photo’s. This year, I feel like I spent a lot of time in my head as I navigated trauma exposure therapy, came…

Don’t just survive… thrive – the holidays theme
Its been quite some time since I posted last; time really flies when you are wondering through space and time with tunnel vision. The holiday survival guide is a theme that is all over the interwebs over this time of the year. The holidays aren’t stressful for me anymore. I made a decision many years…

Let the music move you
One thing that happened when I was diagnosed with cancer was that I disconnected with my body. This was not conscious, but I did feel like my body had thrown me the finger. Little did I know that the disconnection was my automated trauma response; more on that another time. What I also managed to…

The pen with magic powers
I had long forgotten the power of the pen. Once an avid blogger, I knew that there was something so incredibly cathartic about putting words onto paper or a screen. Out of the mind and into the open. While I love that I can digitise my thoughts (by typing them here), there is something special…

Thoughts by Kerri-Ann
September 2012 was a day that sent a shock through my whole body. That was the day the earth lost one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life; she was only 34. I remember driving home from San Lameer and the weather was wild; raining and windy. Like the earth…

No direct line to the sky
In my first post I mentioned how so much of what I had written on my old blog site didn’t really resonate. A case in point was my view on religion. I wrote a post in 2012 about how I didn’t really get the point of religion. In 2014, I wrote a similar post about…

Path to Authenticity
In my first post, I wrote about my desire to start fresh, with a new site. So much from my old blog site didn’t resonate anymore. Not everything, but I think as person I have changed so much. Naturally. I started my last blog in 2011. It was the year I turned 30. I was…
