Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Today, all my prayers were answered and Karma and I reignited our passionate, if not slightly tumultuous relationship, firmly cementing it over cheap Bali Hai beers down by the beach and a delicious Indonesian meal. It was the start of a brand new week, it was time to put the past behind … More Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!

Somewhere between Seminyak and Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; I arrived in Bali late last night, the airport taxi queue was just as I remembered – long, busy, chaotic. The number of drivers waiting for pick-ups was absurd, and the queues for the cash machines even worse.

I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Support Me.

I read a post on elitedaily.com the other day that was entitled: I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Keep Up. Not to discredit the author in any way (who am I to judge a published writer…?) but I didn’t think it was particularly well written and I didn’t think … More I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Support Me.

Writing 101 – Day Seven – Compare and Contrast….but what if we’re the same…?

I: “Look at this, this flap of skin hanging from my arm. It’s revolting and baggy, like a bingo-wing found on an 80 year-old’s arm. Look at these thunder thighs, how can I ever walk down a beach with legs like these?” R: “Look how toned your upper arms are! I can see the muscle … More Writing 101 – Day Seven – Compare and Contrast….but what if we’re the same…?
