Potato & Maggie. 2019.

Once Maggie started reading about love, she has not been able to stop.

Her questions on love, a topic that was often not spoken about when she was growing up, have led her to believe that love is a powerful, creative energy that adds a whole lot of flavour to our lives. She believes one can rise in love but that this takes effort. A union cannot be stumbled upon, but rather that it takes work and courage to build, so the story may continue.

She is inspired by the works of Alain de Botton, Thich Nhat Hanh, Esther Perel, Maria Popova, Alan Watts, Ash Wickremasinghe (upcoming) and Irvin & Marilyn Yalom.

From time to time, Maggie also partakes in 30-day challenges. Her reflections and experiences of the challenges can be found on the blog. She enjoys continually being challenged and trying new things, because it promotes growth, helps us realise what we like (and what we don't) and leads us to a more discerning and wonderful existence.
