5th Oct’18 I did the Kickoff meeting for a Women Returners circle on Lean In (leanin.org), in the morning. We discuss that women on a break are being targeted by companies for getting experienced resources at low cost, and there are many platforms making money out of this huge market. Ironically, the news items that … Continue reading Page of a diary

Michael’s take on Patience ….
They say it’s a virtue but at times a very testing one.
At present, I am awaiting surgery on my left foot. I have a plantar fasciitis issue and require surgery, but I also have a commitment to assist in the supervision of the end of year exams for senior high school students, and I need to be mobile for that.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge – 56 : Broken person or thing, a person in free fall
Word of the Day Challenge – Quintessence
I wake up to another morning and the first thought that comes to my mind is you. Just like every morning, every day, every second.
It’s a harsh reality that I am having to face. I was never prepared for this.
You promised to be there always but you left. Knowing not what I would do without you.
There’s millions of people out there but there’s no one like you. It will be very difficult to replace you.
In good times…
You were the quintessence of love. Nothing ever came close.
It’s been two years since you left me behind for your journey into the other world, the other realm, the other side.
