Life| My Car, My Vehicle for Meditation

I commute to work everyday, the commute on average takes me 1 and a half hours going and the same coming back. Initially I found myself  trying to fill and pass the time. To be honest these commutes were tedious and I found myself bored. I mean there is so much music one can listen to. I would then use this time to catch up at times on senseless gossip.

After a while of rotating music, gossip, eating in my car and cussing at annoying rush hour traffic I found myself dreading the commute. I could not figure out why to start of with. Recently my in- car audio malfunctioned and I had to drive in silence. The first 30 minutes of my journey were so conflicted. I had to listen to myself think. Some of the thoughts were ridiculous, made no sense and to be honest a bit disturbing. I realised it was probably this thought process I was unconsciously trying to dull down by all the other activities I undertook in my car. My commute that day was difficult because between me and my thoughts was a very quiet space a very empty space. This space is usually filled with rubbish non inspirational music and senseless utterances, but still this space/void is  usually filled.

Life| Not defined by my Hair!

Hi Guys Guess who is back..... Me! yaay.

I took a sabbatical for a while. This was not because I did not have anything to say, quite the contrary, I had bucket loads but I was not centred. You see I love to write I think it is the best outlet, however I did not want my posts to sound like a rambling fool.I needed to be grounded, to be focused and then truly continue with one of my passions - communicating through my blog posts.

So where to begin- lets work from now going backwards and sometimes forwards. I want us to start from now. Why? you would ask.  Well because today is a very good day. I let go, I did something spontaneous. I chopped my hair off! To some of you probably it is not a big deal. For me it is huge, you see I struggle with control issues. My life is run by schedules,plans diaries and forward planning, I have to after all I lead a very busy life (excuses). Yes I cannot let go so chopping my hair was huge. I woke up and after a 5minute discussion with my daughter I made an appointment with our family barber for the big chop.
