I came across a song by Irish band “We Are Messengers” last night and it blew me away. Firstly because I cant believe I missed a song by one of my favourite bands released as recently as November 2018 and secondly, because it is so relevant for the times we live in.

It’s been about five years since I left it all and walked away knowing fully well my body was shutting down and my mind wasn’t coping too well with the news. I ran and instead looked at ways to blank the truth.

Epiphany of sorts when I clicked a picture of another side of one of the most stunningly beautiful attractions of Goa. A side not seen in tourism catalogs. But one that opened my eyes to the reality of this beautiful and oft misunderstood quote. Romans 5:3 – 5 Continue reading [In Pics] Hold On a Bit Longer… Your Blessing is Right Around the Corner…
“Influencers” are a seriously relative term in Social Media circles and the “Like, Comment, Share” culture a great leveller. But, as a Social Media Manager who deals with them on a daily basis, 2020 brought me face-to-face with real ‘influence’. Meet the Mirabellas… Continue reading Meet The Mirabellas: Looking Back – Looking Forward (A Message of Hope)
