Mesmerizing Mariah…

I’ve been spellbound by Mariah Carey from the moment she shot to fame in the early nineties with break-out hits “Vision of Love”, “Someday” and “I don’t wanna cry”.

A year without my Dad…

The 19th of March was never a day consequence, it wasn’t a loved one’s birthday, it isn’t a public holiday, it held no special importance and yet it’s become a day forever ingrained in my life.

Your memory burns bright, you will never be forgotten and one sweet day we will re-unite.
