Monday Musings 9 December: Why how we say goodbye matters as much as how we say hello
Four years ago, in a world turned upside down, Monday Musings was born. It started as a spontaneous scribble – a heartfelt response to someone feeling out of touch and isolated, wanting a connection amid the chaos of COVID. It quickly became more than a newsletter; it became a touchpoint, a shared pause in the […]
Monday Musings 19 August: The ‘fool’s’ journey is the only journey…
Ah, the “fool’s errand” – that patronising pat on the head from the universe, usually delivered by some well-meaning buzzkill who thinks safety comes in bubble wrap. But let’s be real: if we only did what made sense, we’d all still be living in caves, arguing over who gets the flattest rock to sit on. […]
Tuesday Takeaway 25 June: Tuesday two-step (cause I missed my Monday Musings deadline)
Confession: I was supposed to file this column yesterday, but a 4 a.m. epiphany after an all-nighter led to a bit of soul-searching (and a serious caffeine deficit). Turns out, being a chronic people-pleaser tends to wreak havoc on deadlines. The upside? It makes for a pretty fitting topic when you’ve missed a deadline because […]
Monday Musings 29 April: A global heart awakening, rooted in South Africa’s story
There is a heart awakening stirring across the globe – a growing recognition of love’s transformative power to heal our world. It’s a resounding call to action to unite in creating a future grounded in heart-centred consciousness. And there is no place more fitting for this movement to take flight than South Africa, a nation […]
Monday Musings 26 February: Surviving the MICE invasion with wit and a bit of introvert magic
Ah, MICE season—when the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions world descends upon us like a well-dressed flutter of butterflies, armed with business cards and ready for a week of schmoozing. With Meetings Africa taking the spotlight this week, hot on the heels of last week’s AGEIS 2024 and the Travel and Technology Conference, it’s been […]
Monday Musings 20 November: Where does your melodic time machine transport you?
Music has a funny way of worming its melodic tendrils deep into the crevices of our minds, stirring up memories and emotions we’d long since forgotten. A bit like your oldest friend who knows exactly which strings to pull to tug at your heartstrings, whisking you away to corners of your memories, some dustier than […]
Monday Musings 18 September: Be your own wrecking ball. It’s good for business!
Travel. A realm where the unexpected is the norm, and where “business as usual” is as mythical as a week without load shedding. We’re no strangers to chaos, are we? Ash clouds, political unrest, the occasional misplaced luggage. Yet today, I choose to talk about disruption. Not the sort that involves a stag-do commandeering the […]
Monday Musings 10 July: Canine Capers: Unleashing new tricks in Ireland’s forests… and life!
Staring down the barrel of another decade, a colleague and I recently shared a candid conversation over a quick work catch up. From our respective corners of the world – mine temporarily relocated to the emerald greenery of Ireland – we pondered life’s “what ifs” and the chances left for us to grab at something […]
