Who said only a woman can multitask? We have all heard this saying and often it is true because many woman are able to cook, watch television, talk and control the children all at the same time. Yet, have you seen a captain of the prison, becoming a nurse, then a baptizer followed by a […]
I visited a dear friend in a hospital in the west of Pretoria in the early 1990’s regularly as she was in isolation for some time. Once, as I left the hospital, a staff member asked if I could help them as some patient from the psychiatric section was on the top floor balcony trying […]

I’m certain most people would like to be spoken well of. There is a problem that could arise when spoken well of, and it is pride.
