Years of consistent diary entries are better than reading any novel. For the past 10 years, I’ve been writing a diary. My entries are not quite every day but on average 2 to 3 times a week. What amazes and disturbs me? Even a day’s delay in my picking up the pen I struggle remembering all from the day before. It’s a consequence of a relatively busy life. Now, here is the thing. My...
what??!! I watched a science show last night explaining that since the beginning of the universe to its end we have and always will have existed, just in different forms. Created from the Big Bang and exploding stars, as stardust we are incredibly rare in the craziest possible way. I had to think pretty deeply to try and grasp this Concept… Apparently we are made up of atoms created in...

I can’t possibly leave my job, I can’t do that right now, I can’t as I don’t know how to. I can’t risk starting a new life/business/relationship. I can’t drive a car. I can’t jump out of a plane.

She never said ‘can’t’ even though there were many times in her life when...

Bulgaria is a juxtaposition of being in Europe, an EU country, fiscally poor yet encompassing awe-inspiring natural beauty. An ancient history is known to date back 60,000 years and blessed with its beautiful warm-hearted people. It has survived 500 years of the Ottoman Empire and the heavy-handed rule of Communism. Now it’s finding its way into the modern world albeit one small step at a...
Us humans are funny creatures, most of us think we are living independent lives, doing our thing, working hard yet enjoying our lives to the best we can. Collectively we are in fact moving towards a cliff together, old age. So, we work our hardest to buy a house, raise a family and put our nose to the grindstone for 30, 40, 50 years with the intent of one day putting our feet up and ‘retiring’...
Okay, this blog may be a tad serious but I believe there IS a life but not as you know it. Whilst dreaming about what our perfect world would be like there are brave souls that every year take the plunge. Most of us by choice or by chance live in a kind of bubble. Where your world is defined by working five, six, even seven days a week to afford often even the most basic lifestyle. Fine if you...
