Date 22 March 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
I wanted to elaborate further on my previous blog on ‘Running away.’ There are different reasons we run, but the very reason we run from ourselves is exactly the reason we should run towards ourselves.

Sentiments behind the words

Date 14 March 2017
Author Ilana Estelle

The wrong impression

Date 12 March 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
We can spend a lifetime giving people the wrong impression. For some, it’s not always intentioned for us give the wrong impression, but for others they simply don’t care. They’re tied into their own unconscious thinking and don’t stop to think about the impression or mark they leave on others.…

Our journey

Date 10 March 2017
Author Ilana Estelle

Date 19 February 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
We can choose to do things to spite, or we can choose to do things in spite. It takes a certain type of character to do things to spite, one that maliciously sets out to hurt, one who holds a grudge. Although, it’s never easy having people in our lives…
