celebration | words by nerissa

https://wordsbynerissa.com/tag/celebration

8230;observations, thoughts and questions. Archive for the tag “celebration”. What is more precious than gold, but cannot be bought, earned or saved? I’ll give you a hint. It’s something we often say we don’t have enough of, particularly when we are busy. Yet when we stop and take a breath, we wonder where it went. Time is a funny thing. A minute of sprinting (when you’re not very good at it), can seem like an hour. A 30-minute filling at the dentist can feel like years. Yet 10 years can go in an instant.

Meet Nerissa | words by nerissa

https://wordsbynerissa.com/meet-nerissa

8230;observations, thoughts and questions. Instead of giving you a blow-by-blow description of my life, I thought it much nicer to tell you about the things I love. I am a wife I have been married to Trevor for more than 15 years. I am a mother I am blessed with two beautiful children Joshua and Laura. And while having children is a demanding, busy and sometimes thankless job, they are the two most precious little people in the world to me. I am also a sister, daughter, and aunt. Family is important to me.

https://wordsbynerissa.com/tag/write-to-the-point

8230;observations, thoughts and questions. Archive for the tag “Write to the Point”. Stop doubting and start believing. As most of you know, I’m a freelance writer. Like any other profession, the life of a freelancer has it pros and cons. Pros include choosing my own hours, being able to work in my pyjamas, having a coffee machine less than 10 steps away, and being flexible enough to watch my kids at their various school activities or have lunch with a friend. Contributing writers, volunteers and interns.

When going for a bush walk, we encourage them to look around to see how many different animals they can find. On the way to school, I asked her if she thought she’d make a District team. As I dropp...
