Deborah in Conversation: January 2012
http://deborah-hochung.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The change is inside each of us. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. I've been struggling these past few days. Struggling to stay focused. Struggling to remember the good things in my life. It's just way too easy to have a pity party I find. And this frustrates me no end. You have so much to be thankful for". I find myself saying over and over again. I say as I drive through a predominantly. Drug soaked township on my way to work. And it is exactly this dichotomy of my life that frustrates me. I share my story.

Deborah in Conversation: Raindancer

The change is inside each of us. Monday, November 11, 2013. Recently circumstances have “pushed” me in the direction I felt strongly about. I am now taking the plunge to be a full time do-gooder. I want to serve others. I want to make a difference in a field I feel passionate about. The trouble is it’s an area or topic nobody wants to talk about. I’m sure if I decided to fight for the rights of animal abuse I would have a whole lot of support. but child sexual abuse makes people cringe. An estimated 60% ...

The change is inside each of us. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Leo Tolstoy said - "If one has no vanity in this life of ours. There is no sufficient. And at first glance that quote. Does not make sense. But think of it this way. In order to love those around us we first need to love ourselves! Giving ourselves unconditional love makes it easier. To extend compassion to those around us. In fact. we should be "vain" in our self love as Tolstoy suggests. And even find it easier to be more tolerant of them.

Deborah in Conversation: December 2013

The change is inside each of us. Thursday, December 5, 2013. Laughter broke out and a chorus of fast food chicken supplier names were soon flying across the room;. 8220;Finger licking good”. 8220;Nando’s”. 8220;Is so good, so nice” said one fellow who stood up and actually did a pelvic thrust. Twerking as it is now known. The reality of young girls having sex with married men in exchange for takeout chicken broke my heart into a million pieces. Shame on you Nando’s!

Deborah in Conversation: Winter Wonderings
http://deborah-hochung.blogspot.com/2012/04/winter-wonderings.html
The change is inside each of us. Sunday, April 8, 2012. Nature has a way of forcing us to toe the line. Autumn is here and winter is fast approaching and I find myself. Spending more time indoors curled up and covered up. This usually leads me to becoming introspective. It also gets me thinking about ways I can change my life and put my dreams into being. And I find this exciting. Autumn here in South Africa also happens to coincide with Easter. A time of rebirth. A time of second chances. I love pens an...

Deborah in Conversation: I'm finished... and running out of time...

The change is inside each of us. Sunday, January 8, 2012. I'm finished. and running out of time. I’m so finished with the intolerance I encounter in my country. I’m finished with us failing to listen to each other. Let’s stop being defensive and sensitive about the actions of our previous government. Let’s face it. we were born into a society that believed white skins were superior to black skins. We had no choice in the matter and some of us benefited from that whether we bought into that ideology or not.

Deborah in Conversation: We need to slow down in order to keep up
http://deborah-hochung.blogspot.com/2012/01/most-of-us-tend-to-rush-through-our.html
The change is inside each of us. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. We need to slow down in order to keep up. Most of us tend to rush through our days. We try and cram into our day as much as we can. Doing a lot makes us feel good. And then we find ourselves at the end of the year. looking back and wondering. was it worth it? I have resolved to slow down this year. To make it about the quality of my life and not the quantity I manage to cram into each day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Books - nourish me.
