February 28, 2021February 28, 2021 Christine John

It was about a year ago that the world was struck by the Coronavirus pandemic. This deadly virus has changed the way we interact with people, restricted our travel, and changed our daily habits. One of the significant changes that has happened to most people is that we have to work from home. For some, working from home is seen as a blessing. They save money not having to commute to work, they are protecting themselves from getting Covid-19 because they do not have to work in the same office…

Sacrifices

February 7, 2021January 27, 2021 Christine John

Last week I wrote about making sacrifices in order to reach your goals. In this blog post, I decided to write a poem about sacrifices. A few years ago, I wrote a poem about making sacrifices. I thought about all the things we sacrifice to develop ourselves, to help others, to make more money and to be successful. If the thing that we are working towards is important to us, then it is most certainly worth making the sacrifice to get to where we want to be. We make sacrifices…

We are now about three weeks into the New Year, and although we have started this year in lockdown with the second variant of Covid-19 spreading infection throughout the whole region…

December 30, 2020December 31, 2020 Christine John

I’m sure that we’re all ready to say goodbye to 2020. This was the year of world-changing events. From natural disasters and racial injustice to the Coronavirus pandemic and controversial US elections, this was the year of the most extraordinary events the world has ever seen. The most significant events that had an impact on the world, in my opinion, were the forest fires, Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, development of the Covid-19 vaccine, Brexit, and the US presidential election. Australia faced one of its most devastating wildfires which…

A Very Different Christmas

December 24, 2020December 24, 2020 Christine John

We will be celebrating a very different Christmas this year. Instead of the usual parties, going to church and big family get-togethers, we will be celebrating Christmas with caution. We will be practising social distancing, staying away from our loved ones and celebrating Christmas with only the people we live with. Some of us, unfortunately, will have to spend the holiday alone. This is definitely not the normal way we would celebrate Christmas. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to change the way we celebrate this festive holiday, one…
