Understanding what Hydrocephalus is can be a little confusing, overwhelming or just plain and simply do your head in. I remember when I first saw the word on a scan result I had done. I remember going “Huh? Hydro what?” Since that day, now just over 8 years ago, I have learned as much as…
I read a post on Facebook the other day, in one of the groups I belong to, that just angered me more than anything else. It wasn’t even the fact that there seems to be a general belief that people with Hydrocephalus are faking their symptoms. It was reading a comment from a parent who…
I recently completed and self-published my book Hydrocephalus: Floating Faithfully. This is a book that I had to write not because I was forced to. On the contrary, it was driven by my realization of, what I believe to be, my life purpose…To effect change, no matter how big or small. It serves so many…
Do you have people in your life who do things for you? It could be anything really…big, small or (in your opinion) insignificant. Have you ever spared a thought to them? Thought about the fact that they took time to do said thing for you or on your behalf. Whether they succeeded, failed or took…
We never know what life will throw our way…there’s also no guarantee that we will be strong enough to handle it. People go through tough times, and the scale just varies. Imagine a time when you were at your lowest point when nothing seemed to make sense and you just couldn’t see the light at…

What makes you happy? Think of something that when you do it, it doesn’t feel like work but brings you great satisfaction…The feeling I’m talking about is…a smile on your face once you’re done, a feeling of accomplishment or even achievement. If you are lucky enough to be in a day job, which ticks all these…
When I met my husband, I fell in love. It was easy enough…so marrying him was a no-brainer. We weren’t raised in a community where living together before marriage was a norm. Therefore, what I learnt about the love of my life only came after the fact…that is, the things that matter most. Marriage and kids were never…
A few days ago, I read a blog post by a fellow blogger, Terence Brown, Productivity Tip #2 – Schedule your time (and stick to it). This post reminded me of the many conversations I’ve had about topics like Terence’s blog. Finding time in my busy schedule just seems impossible. They tell you how easily…
How many of you struggle with this one? It most certainly can be a trying thing to do…especially when life throws some curve balls at you. Acceptance of your current state is more than just accepting things for what they are… It’s about changing your mindset and realizing that you have the power within you…
