For June, our lovely Bhoomie book of the month is The Little Prince. It’s a magical tale of a small, golden-haired prince who lives on an asteroid surrounded by three volcanoes and one beautiful rose. He loves the rose dearly, but decides to travel on to new asteroids where he meets plenty of colourful characters. One character, … Read More
Last week we shared the point-of-view changing techniques of power-posing and superhero writing. How did you get on with these? I did at least five Wonder Woman poses (I say at least, because two of them were in my head – I had no where to go!) and I also wrote a few lines as … Read More
How would you describe the word “intuition” to someone else? Would you say that it’s something mystical that can’t be explained, or a feeling in your belly that’s usually right (or wrong)? Maybe you wouldn’t know how to describe it and maybe you don’t believe it exists at all – whichever way, there is something … Read More
Recently I’ve been losing a bit of the fire that stokes my creative engines – it’s been more like a lazy smoulder. When I started questioning why this is I realised that I’ve been trying to push myself down a path that I didn’t really feel comfortable with. Sometimes I find it good to set … Read More

Flying arcs of elegance, colour and beauty – that’s what I think when I watch butterflies glide graciously through the garden. On the outside they may seem timid because of their beautiful paper-thin wings, but butterflies are quite something else. They made their first appearance on Mother Earth around 40-50 million years ago and during … Read More

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Daffodils by William Wordsworth Yesterday as I sunnily skipped through the park, wrapped in my own … Read More
Ubuntu is a beautiful word from South Africa. It’s used to give voice to a bond that we share with each other, a connection between all humanity. Literally it means “Human Kindness”, but each family in Africa has their own interpretation of the word. One that has had the biggest impact on my heart is … Read More
