Ginger and spice: July 2014

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Tuesday, 15 July 2014. I should know better by now, than to hop on a post-a-day initiative - I barely manage my Month of Gratitude in November. Each year - and only pull that off because it's on Facebook, and doesn't require too much writing. That's rich, coming from a writer, no? And time - and my precious family takes priority for the free time that I do have. Links to this post. Thursday, 3 July 2014. And thought it might be a good way to get my ...

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Thursday, 3 July 2014. Writer's Bootcamp - catching up on the first three days. I've seen a few posts from friends taking part in the. And thought it might be a good way to get my own creative juices flowing again. the ones that get a little neglected by my writing day job. Day 1: Even if you know me well, you don't know this. Day 2: My five favourite words in English. They would have to be. Malevolence - because it really does sound that bad. I cou...

Ginger and spice: Riding my bike for kids with cancer

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2014/08/riding-my-bike-for-kids-with-cancer.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Wednesday, 6 August 2014. Riding my bike for kids with cancer. If I’ve been a little haggard (! On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, it’s because I’m up at 4h45 on those mornings to go to spinning classes, as part of my preparations to ride the 106km. On 12 October, and the. Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge. Apart from this craziness being part of a goal I set for myself for this year, I’m riding these two events for the. No obligation, at all, in any w...

Ginger and spice: November 2014

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Monday, 10 November 2014. Bookclub year-end bash - and now for something completely different. We decided to spend a Saturday afternoon doing the photos – and we were lucky enough to come across. A few of the girls were a little nervous to strip down to their lacy bits for a strange man (we’re all married and love our husbands to bits – sometimes more to bits than others…). We were also a little nervous to put our bumps and wob...The new mommy in ou...

Ginger and spice: May 2014

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Thursday, 15 May 2014. An ode to the old (and destroyed) buildings of Sandton. I’ve written before about how I believe that buildings have souls. And it’s struck me a lot recently, driving as I do along the length of Rivonia Road every morning. But I can’t remember any of the other buildings that have been flattened on that block, to make way for new ones. This all makes sense. But those buildings have been home to dreams, ambitions, soaring careers...

Ginger and spice: May 2013

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Wednesday, 15 May 2013. Visiting Othandweni with Chevrolet's Ute Force. A Child Welfare facility in Soweto on Monday, as the guest of Chevrolet's Ute Force. Sjoe So many thoughts, so many emotions after the visit, that are difficult to put into words, even for a professional wordsmith like me. I'll save them for another time, when I've figured the words out. The Ute Force team took me, @MissStaceyVee. I will be honest, my heart nearly broke when one...

Ginger and spice: One Month of Gratitude

http://gingerandspicesa.blogspot.com/2011/12/one-month-of-gratitude.html

The things I'm not paid to say. In words, not pictures. Monday, 12 December 2011. One Month of Gratitude. So, at the beginning of November, Melanie Minnaar - an in- and out-of-computer friend and fellow St David's mom, suggested that November be a month of gratitude, and that people should post up something on Facebook for which they are grateful each day of the month. Sounds easy, right - particularly when you are so blessed and so lucky in so many ways? A year or two back. But the overall result was th...

Doodles of a journo: July 2011

http://doodlesofajourno.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Friday, 29 July 2011. General Chaos et al. General Chaos and his troops have invaded our house. Major Mess has taken up headquarters in our spare bedroom while Private Breakdown was allegedly crying in the downstairs toilet, although there is no hard evidence to substantiate this rumour. Wednesday, 27 July 2011. I can't believe it's only been a little over a year since I've been fully self-employed. I can believe, however, that my blogging has been way less regular since then. The way I try to work now i...
