Mirjam — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 14:00:00 +0000

Sitting with my feelings I consider myself a highly sensitive person.Some might even call me too sensitive. I cry easily when I watch movies and get teary eyed when something moves me. If you would have asked me, I would have said, that I was totally in touch with my feelings But it took a […]

Not What We Were Expecting

Melanie Oda (Japan) — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 07:00:00 +0000

My 16-year-old son left for a summer study session this morning, only to message me from the train station thirty minutes later. Oops, it had been cancelled. Now a long day in the oppressing heat and humid hell of Japanese summer stretches long and lazily before us. It is not what we were expecting. But […]

Nancy Sumari — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 05:00:09 +0000

My Name is Nancy and I am experiencing, after more than six years of motherhood, a terrible case of separation anxiety. We are used to our toddlers give us hell with this – it is, after all, expected during the terrible twos. But you may call mine a case of the “terrible thirties.” I have […]

SOUTH AFRICA: Why do we do the things we do?

Mamma Simona (South Africa) — Thu, 09 Feb 2017 06:00:44 +0000

My 20 year old daughter and I have been having some very interesting conversations lately. The latest is what prompted me to share this with you. I believe that all of us have things on our “To Do” Lists that somehow never get done. We feel badly about not getting around to them, but we […]

Milofy: Using Technology To Create Real Life Relationships

ThinkSayBe — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 08:17:24 +0000

As a mom, and as a person who is not entirely into downloading apps (albeit being technologically savvy), I am quite excited when I find a useful app. I mean, I use Snapchat because I have a teenage daughter and because the filters add a unique element of fun to my day; but besides that, […]

CANADA: What Kind Of Mother Am I?

ISRAEL: I Don’t Want to be Superwoman

Susie Newday (Israel) — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 06:00:06 +0000

I don’t want to be Superwoman. I used to take it as a compliment when people told me I was “Superwoman”. I took it to mean that I must be doing something right to be able to manage to do everything I was doing. And yes, it felt good to hear that people were impressed […]

An Interview with Victor Kannan. Part I

ThinkSayBe — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 11:56:27 +0000

2017. My, how time flies! In 2010 in the office of an amazing human being, I read a sign that said: ‘Time flies like arrows; fruit flies like bananas’. I didn’t get it when I read it, but when I did it stuck with me. I was reminded of this when thinking over my interview […]
