Exploring life, inspiring myself, encouraging myself while raising four kids, and honoring brave courageous people along the way. I share my spiritual experience through my travel, conversation and thoughts.

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A lot has changed in my life ever since the birth of the twins,
life revolves around them a lot. As a mom of four kids who are at different age
gaps, my biggest challenge is finding activities that suits and interest the
whole family. My first born who is 15 years of age does not enjoy tagging along
to kids friendly restaurant or to the zoo anymore. My princess who is 8 years
of age wants me to spend girl’s time with her most of the time. Last but not
least the 17 months old energetic twins are exploring and very much dependent
on me to keep them safe, yet allowing them to run free and wild. I am always
being pulled to different direction by the demands of being a parent and also a
professional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love travelling and I
believe that everyone has a drug of choice and travelling is my drug of choice.
It is very import for my kids to grow up knowing that travelling is a
lifestyle, they must explore our beautiful country. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ever since the birth of the twins, my biggest
fear has always been if I will be able to cope with going on holyday with four
kids? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Planning and bookings</i></b>………………. After years of looking and
wishing, I am glad that I have finally found a travel company that caters for
my travel needs. I am able to call them and they have a list of reputable resorts
that they are able to present to me and I am able to make a quick decision.
They booked me into a Tsogo Sun resort named Umhlanga Sands Resort, in Umhlanga
Rocks in KZN. I must say knowing that the resort is part of Tsogo Sun, sort of
put my mind at ease. I did not even bother to do much research about it. I knew
the basics about the resort, all the rooms in the resort overlooked the sea, I
will have access to the beach from the resort and it’s a five minutes’ drive to
Gateway mall. Let me confess this was my second trip in less than three months
in a Tsogo Sun resort. So the basic information I had was good enough for me. I
needed the break, the whole family needed to break away from the familiar
everyday routine. School during the week, a play date for the sister on
weekends and a walk in the park for the twins, Sunday church and its Monday
again, back to school, homework, projects and yes watching the twins 24 seven,
so that they don’t kill each other. Yes I said it. I spend most of my time
pulling them apart and trying to figure out who started the fight this time
around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><strong><em>Our booking was for the 23 – 26 September</em></strong>, for a 3 nights
and 4 days stay. I spent most of my Friday buying necessities for the trip,
swimming nappies for the twins and swimming costumes, I wanted to make sure
that they fully enjoyed their time playing in the sand and splashing in water
this time around. It is never easy walking around with toddlers in unfamiliar
places, it takes less than a minute to lose a child, so I unashamedly bought
safety harness backpacks. I always have to be extra careful when travelling
with the twins. Twin pram does not work for me as it just fills up the boot,
and besides the twins have figured a way of freeing themselves from the pram even
though I buckle them up, I always find myself chasing one twin while I try in
the same breath keep on an eye on the other twin who is also trying to unbuckle
himself. The night before I made sure that everyone packs their bags, I packed
the necessary food, drinks and snacks that we will need for the road. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The road trip</i></b>………… I set my alarm for 3 o’clock just before I go
to sleep, my plan was to make sure that everybody showers and we should be on
the road by 3:30 am. Unfortunately I did not hear the alarm go of, and we only
ended up starting the 580 Km road journey at only 4:00 am, not so bad I
thought. Thanks God that I always fill the tank, check the oil and tyre pressure
a day before my trips. The first mistake I made was not to check the weather
focus, I would soon discover. There road was quite, no heavy traffic as I expected
because of the long weekend. The road was covered by mist and it was not very
visible, making it impossible to see the road ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I like about travelling long distance
with the twins is that they turn to sleep for long hours which makes my life
easier, but if they ever get restless I always have a nursery rhymes app
waiting and that has proven to be a sure winner so far. I try my best to enjoy
the drive, than just concentrate on getting to the destination, so I always
incorporate a few stops in the garages where I relax and let the boys run
around, needless to say a 6 hours trip ended up being an 8 hours long trip. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The resort and facilities</b>:
I must say only when I arrived at the resort and while queuing to check in I
started worrying about questions that I should have asked or at least googled
about the resort. The friendly efficient check in process quickly put me at
ease I must say. The second thing that put me at ease was my eldest kid’s
facial expression, he sure was glad to be there and he was curious and ready to
explore. We were booked on the 8<sup>th</sup> floor, in a 4 sleeper, with a
full bathroom and a kitchenette and yes, the most important part for me, with a
view to die for. What I love the most is that despite the temperamental weather
the sea facing room where made for any kind of weather, you can sit and
meditate while listening to the crashing of the waves. The view from the resort
is just picturesque, something out of pages of a travel magazine. Just what I
needed. My older kids went downstairs and discovered the treasure hidden in
this resort. The resort has an entertainment area for kids, an extensive
entertainment program and a kid’s swimming pool. </span></div>

born was quick to come up so that he can take the twins to explore the access
controlled play area. The play area is separated into age appropriate groups.
They had a colorful indoor play area with soft toys. I would go there and just
sit for hours with a book while the twins play. They also have a swimming
people that catered for toddlers and the twins enjoyed splashing in the water. My
son and I enjoyed the easy access to the beach promenade for walks, He enjoyed
PlayStation tournaments that they would have every night, the soccer
tournaments, I never had to worry about him and his where about. My daughter
loves, loves swimming, she would spend most of her time in the swimming people,
playing in the water slides and participating in the different games that they
would play in the stage in front of the swimming people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The resort also had movie nights and they

to Durban north beach to browse around the flea market, I heard you can get so
good bargains there. Unfortunately what I learned quickly is that it is not a
conducive place to take toddlers, they wanted to run around and also just take
whatever caught their eyes. My focus quickly changed from shopping for bargains
to running after the twins. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also
managed to spend a few minutes at the Victoria Market down town Durban, but as
I said never a good idea when you have toddlers, so it’s on my to do list next
time I visit KZN. The best option for me was to go back to the resort and use

<div class="MsoNormal">
I had the opportunity to be part of a Toastmasters club a few years back, I actually went through the whole nine yard, registered and did my first speech. Unfortunately, life swallowed me and I dropped out. Fast forward to 2017, a colleague invited me to a meeting for kick starting the Toastmasters club at work I decided to take the opportunity without thinking twice. I guess the year 2017 is a year of dusting myself and polishing my skills. I honestly subscribe to self-improvement, learning new skills or polishing skills.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is Toastmasters about you may ask? Let me share with you what I know so far about the concept. It is basically a nonprofit organization that teaches people about public speaking, communication, and leadership skills. You organize yourself, form a club and follow a set of rules and guidelines provided by Toastmasters Organization, to master the art of public speaking. The organization has been operating since 1924.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why would anyone want to improve their communication or public speaking? My question is who would not want to improve their communication and leadership skills in this day and age? We live in a fast pace environment where making first impression is key to getting your message across. I have embarked on a journey to profile women entrepreneurs, from all walks of life who originally hail from my home province. I take this very seriously, I want to give it the attention and professionalism that it deserves. Toastmasters will help me polish my communication skills. I will get better at interviewing and presenting each and every story with clarity and energy it deserves. I am hoping that I will learn from this experience and grow as person. Spending time with Rachel Gadisi of RachelG Cake and Party has also motivated me to never stop learning and polishing my skills.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Going back to Toastmasters, I attended the first meeting and I must say I am excited already. The previous club president was more than eager to walk us through the rules and process of the club. Toastmasters is well structured, members give speeches, take meeting roles, and give guidance and feedback. There are roles that must be field by different members during each and every club meeting, this is meant to improve the member’s leadership skills. It is about strength building by giving constructive feedback in a structured manner. I learned a lot from the meeting, it is not just about your written speech, but a combination of couple of technics in order to deliver the message and connect with your audience. It is about writing a speech that will talk to your audience not at them or talking past them. A good speech is 53 % presentation, how you present yourself, how you engage and connect with the audience. The tone and pitch of your voice also plays a big role when delivering your speech. I am going, to be honest, this is one area I am looking forward to mastering. I get very nervous and my voice fades away, I look forward to learning how to channel my nerves and speak with a stern confident voice, whether I am interviewing, presenting or selling something. I am looking forward to my journey into becoming a better communicator.</div>

The size of South Africa’s events management industry is growing. The demand for events planning, from a kiddies party to a wedding is increasing by the day. As more black people participate fully economically we have seen the rise of the middle class using the services of events planners or services that were not previously made use of.</div>

Rachel Nyadzawela Gadisi is a 4th born child of a Venda traditional artier maker, she was raised in Shayandima in the far north of Limpopo. Her mother started by selling traditional drink (Mabundu), and then went on to make Venda traditional wear (Minwenda, vhukunda na vhulungu). You can say that she was raised in a creative environment where entrepreneurship was the way of life. </div>

She attended high school at Dimani agricultural high and took Home Economics as one of her elective subjects. I have always assumed that Dimani Agricultural High was the perfect school for her, but after our casual chat, she explains that she should have never gone to a high school like Dimani if she knew any better. She blames the lack of career guidance in our schools as her reason for taking a long road to her passion, she believes that she should have never attended a school like Dimani Agricultural High which was known for Mathematics and Science. Looking back she should have been enrolled in a high school that would have natured her artistic and creative side. Rachel went on to obtain a Diploma in HR, when she could not get a job she did not sit back and feel sorry for herself, instead she enrolled on a short course in Emergency Care just to secure a job. By day, she is a part of the Johannesburg Emergency Contact Centre team, and on the side, she is building her Cake and Party company. In a country where unemployment is high and the world facing an economic crisis, we need more of her kind.</div>

In many ways, Rachel has been a trailblazer for entrepreneurship in her community. Her case is special because even when she could not get a job that she studied for, it did not stop her from turning a page and writing a different story for her future, she took a leap of faith and her rise to prominence has been fueled by her hard work, a vision, and faith.</div>

She started her Cake and Party company by organizing Kiddies party back in 2010, she would source her cakes from different suppliers. It was after getting negative feedback from her customers with the birthday cakes that led her to a path of baking and decorating her own cakes, so that she could directly own the supply chain. She knew that if she baked and decorated her own cakes, she would receive the criticism as a learning curve for her. She took it like the professional and went to improve her work and that translated to her getting better at her craft. Her approach to business can be directly seen in her having loyal customers who don’t mind ordering from her from as far as Limpopo. Her free time is spent fulfilling orders that need to be delivered to North West province and her home province Limpopo. Rachel has a tendency to befriend all her customers and letting them know her personally, you end up feeling like you are the most important person in her life<br />

“When I started it was not easy, but I persevered. It took me years to build my business to what is it today, the first chair covers and tablecloth I ever owned were handmade, thanks to my dressmaking skills I learned from my Home Economics class and helping my mom in her business. I recall taking a taxi to the Oriental Plaza to buy the material for the chair covers and tablecloth, and I used a pattern that I was given by a certain gentleman in Dobsenville to make them".</div>

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear, the quote by Rosa parks comes to mind when Rachel explains to me how she funded her business. A mother of three, instead of fearing the worst, it became her driving force. She took a leap of faith and went into business with no funding or financial assistance. She explains that she mostly depended on the support of her friends and family. She would take from her savings, her bonus and stokvel monies and invest it into her business by buying assets. </div>
<div style="background-attachment: inherit !important; background-clip: inherit !important; background-color: #f5f6f5; background-image: inherit !important; background-origin: inherit !important; background-position: inherit !important; background-repeat: inherit !important; background-size: inherit !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Diaria Light Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
Rachel believed in her business and she did not only feel the need to invest in the business but also she invested in polishing and improving her own skills. She has in the past years enrolled in different courses and workshops to upscale herself. She has attended Traditional cake deco, flower arrangement class, just to name a few, she actually says she has attended a total of ten classes. I must say there is a lot to learn in how this dynamic woman runs her business and pride herself with her work.</div>

“I have learned a lot from running my own business, you need passion, tenacity, and drive. You have to live and love what you do. I started the business with my own savings, Stokvel and my bonus money. I would plan ahead for my bonus and when it comes I will invest it into the business, I would buy all that I need to run an event, be it a kiddies party or a wedding, from Jumping castles, chairs and I also managed to convert my garage into my workshop and bought a commercial oven.”</div>

Rachel believes that it is important to surround yourself with a good supportive structure, if you don’t have, create one for yourself, she says. Her family, friends, and community have played a key role in helping her grow, yet one particular friend and mentor always stands out: Tshililo Muthige has been there for her since the first day, offering her business advice and support. Getting a mentor, someone who’s been there, done that and learned lessons the hard way is indispensable. I must say, listening to stories of women who are there for each other is refreshing.</div>

She shares her greatest achievements as being able to grow her business, she has been able to accumulate assets, from chairs that she is able to hire out to her customers, and other entrepreneurs in the same industry. She also recalls a time where she would deliver goods in her private car, and now the business has grown to allow her to invest in a company car. Her work has been featured in the magazine like Weddings. Having one’s work featured in a magazine is very encouraging, it is an affirmation that you are on the right path………………………………</div>

Rachel is a mother of 3, a sister, a friend to many, a full-time employee and an entrepreneur. To add icing and decorations to her colorful rich life she still makes time to give back to her community. Rachel will always send out a Facebook post and what’s app message at the beginning of the years to remind her friends, family, and colloquies about the Phalaphala FM school shoes drive. She will encourage everyone to get involved in donating a pair that is collected and distributed to school kids who would otherwise go without for the whole year. She has also created a group for all the former Dimani Agricultural High School pupil who are interested in getting involved and what they do there is they keep in contact with the school management and help where they can. They will buy the school uniform for school deserving kids. She recently hosted her 40th birthday celebration, and the entrance gift was a box of sanitary pads that she distributed to schools. I think you can agree with me that Rachel is selfless woman with a heart of gold, making a positive impact in other people’s lives, whether it’s with her family or their community through initiative or business</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It is about 30 minutes passed midnight and I am thinking to myself where do I begin? It has been 3 years since I contribute to my blog. It has been on my mind since the beginning of the year I have been pondering the idea of resurrecting and giving it a new face. I am sure that I don’t want to keep the angle that I was using previously when I was blogging, but one thing I am sure about is that I like inspiring, motivating and recognizing people especially women, I also love writing. My plan is to take the two and turn them into my side hustle.<br />
<br />
I stopped blogging because I ran out of steam, hit a writer’s blog and truth be told I was struggling to grow my audience. I woke up in January with a determination to write and I knew that it was not too late to resurrect the dream. I undertook a journey of writing my vision for this blog on paper. I wrote down what and who I will be writing about, came up with a standard letter that I will email to people I would like to profile. When Katchie Nzama, “Thesolowonderer“ posted on Facebook that she would be holding a workshop on Content Creation, I knew right there that God was listening, the universe was conspiring on my behalf and all I have to do was just say yes. I just knew right there that this was God's way of saying it's time! You cannot ignore the voice inside anymore. I knew that if I wanted to succeed this time around I need to put my name out there, socialize, say yes to being a student, learn from others, network and hopefully soar this time around.<br />
<br />
Waking on Saturday the 25th February was not easy, it was a gray gloomy rainy day, and the weather was just temperamental in Johannesburg. All I wanted to do was stay in bed, ask my son to make me some breakfast and maybe read a bit or curl up on the sofa with a blanket. I decided that my loyal warm cozy bed is not going anywhere, it will always be there for me, but an opportunity to interact with like-minded people and network I am not going to miss it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Katchie together with Afrihost hosted the workshop at Afrihost’s head office in Rivonia. It was a picnic setting at their rooftop, the heavens were kind enough to close the floodgates for those few hours that we assembled, discussing and sharing knowledge. The idea behind the #JHBContentCreators workshop was the coming together of young black content creators in Gauteng. How we can all help each other grow in the different industry, be it travel blogging, freelance writing, and marketing. Katchie Nzama established travel blogger shared her insights in how she travels, blogs and create content. She talked us through her journey from just traveling for fun to traveling and blogging as a career. How she has grown her brand and business, her job requires her to be on the road, even though it is fun she also has to make a living out of the traveling. She shared insights on how she runs subtle campaigns always tries to create content that is genuine and not tries to oversell the lifestyle. She also touched on the concept that traveling is a service that she offers to her clients, she offers her time, she uses her time, data and quality pictures so she is a firm believer that the time and effort she puts in servicing her clients should equal the pay.<br />
<br />
<br />
I met a lot of interesting people at the workshop and mostly are in the traveling and marketing industry. Young creative minds who have 9 to 5 jobs but are also entrepreneurs who want to sell their services, like me. We discussed how we can collaborate and share information and pass on work. I met a lady by the name of Phumeza Langa who does PR/Marketing for a security company 9 to 5 but does freelance writing, she profiles dynamic women and she also sells smoothies on weekends. I got to sit next to a lady who is currently looking for a job but she is a food blogger (@BeastlyeastSA and founder of @PulysCupcake). Apparently, she makes delicious cupcakes, (to bad she did not bring them on that day). I also met a luxury travel blogger. I spent some time in the company of the co-owner of a travel agency that puts together budget travel packages for in and around South Africa. @Travelcheapskate has the young up and coming South African in mind, she would like to see more people exploring their country. We also touched on a topic that is close to my hearts, traveling with small kids, I have promised to blog about my experience and share with her. I interacted with a gentleman from Zimbabwe, @MeyouHello, who is also in the travel industry and currently starting a platform for the hospitality industry to sell their last minute deals, I must say as an avid traveler myself I am looking forward to the platform as I find myself having made no plans beforehand, but longing to be somewhere I have never been before. I also met a lady who blogs about sex, and also interacted with an avid writer from Namibia and also Kenya. Last but not least, can you believe that I was not the only one with a “boring” 9 to 5 job and yet an interesting travel life? Thembi Khumalo, is an outdoor sports fanatic. She mostly does sports travel, as she says she loves anything that takes her outdoors from running to cycling and also assembling her own bike.<br />
<br />
Enough about the interesting people I met, everyone had an interesting story to share and I took with me nuggets of wisdom from everyone who attended, wish I can share each and everyone’s story. Going back to the workshop, the aim of #JHBContentCreators is to form a community for content bloggers from different industry and a support structure, a platform for supporting each other as young content writers in an environment that is predominantly white. The aim is to help one another grow our audience but also guide each other in terms of writing, blogging and creating content as a service, and hopefully get paid for it. I must say Katchie has opened a door for us and I am grateful to be part of such an initiative.<br />
<br />
I might have woken up thinking is this doable, can I relaunch my blog? What will make it a success this time around, what will be different? I know one thing my blog is about women entrepreneurs, women who are not afraid to fail, women who are not afraid to give more hours or a go an extra mile to start a business or make their dreams become a reality. Women who are not afraid to start from the bottom, from the woman who is making cupcakes and selling them at work or another that selling chickens and delivering them door to door, to the woman who is closing a million rand deal, I think they all deserve to be celebrated and also their stories should be heard. Social media is a powerful tool and I am going to use it to feed your soul.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am writing this in response to the media frenzy that has been going
around about natural hair versus chemically processed hair, and some people
extend the debate on whether wearing make-up and cosmetic surgery is part of
our culture as Africans. In my personal opinion as a black modern educated
progressive independent and economically active woman I think we really like
directing our energy in having debates that I cannot for the life of me connect
with, I mean the fact that black people (South African and non-South African)
like having debates that don’t change the price of bread or puts food into the
next person’s life really bugs me. In my
opinion they live us hopeless, divided and still at the bottom of the food
chain. These hair, make up and cosmetic debate have really flooded our media,
be it Facebook, radio or twitters, blogs and newspaper articles. The debates
are always in our faces and those who are “anti” are vocal and passionate about
their views and those who are “pro” are just going on about adorning
themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">People are vocal and divided about what makes us black or true Africans
and how people should not be relaxing or chemically processing their hair or
having extensions or wearing makeup, and they connect it all back to colonization. We should have the debate I agree, but we
should do more than just having the debate. We should take the debate to
another level, because the practice of relaxing (chemically processing), putting
on hair extensions, make-up and cosmetic surgery is not going anywhere. When it is
all said and done it is a lucrative business and we as black women should own a
big stake in it. Whether you think that I should not wear Brazilian hair extension,
whether I think someone should not bleach their skin, or someone should have a
tummy tuck or liposuction or should not wear makeup, shape my eyebrows and
wear fake nails or eyelashes, it is up to an individual. Being African for me is more than just about
hair, shaping my eyebrow, choosing between French tips or gel. In my opinion it’s
more than just about how I choose to wear my hair. Beauty is also about more
than just that and I think no one has the right at this day and age to dictate
to anyone what they should or should not do. It’s about choice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Honestly speaking I don’t advocate for anything. I am pro-choice. I
advocate for an opinion of differences. I advocate for respect of people with
different practices than mine. I advocate
for economic freedom, I advocate for innovation, I advocate for South Africa
that solves its own unique challenges, a South Africa that looks at its
challenges and encourages people to think creatively to make their lives
easier. I advocate for a South Africa that can do more than just debate, but one that sees opportunities all around us and is ready to grab them with both hands. I advocate for South Africans to be more than just consumers but
manufactures. Manufacturing will underpin the success of South African Economy.
We need new ideas. We need to mentally prepare our minds to identify
opportunities. Opportunities that will transform South Africa and Africa as a
whole from becoming technology adopters to being innovators. We really need to take the business away from
China and bring it back home where it belongs. Why are we importing Brazilian
and Indian hair when we have Ethiopians? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The way I look at is why we are busy having this debates that don’t
change the price of bread, while some man in China is busy designing a hair
extension that a black South Africa and the rest of Africa will import and use.
Why are we letting some guy in China who is not even black, who knows nothing
about a black woman’s hair, manufacture the extension for us? Why does someone who lives more than 10000 miles
away, who does not know the frustration with the texture of the hair extension
he sells still making the hair extension for me? Why are we not coming up with
a formula and manufacturing it ourselves here at home in African soil?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All I know is that while people are having
discussion about whether hair extension, makeup and cosmetic surgery is a
representation of how African you are or using it as a measure of how we don’t
love and accept ourselves, someone in Asia is cashing in big time. while we have these
debates through a talk show on radio, keyboard debates (social media), that at
the end it doesn't change the price of bread
or move our position in the economic scale or World Bank knowledge economy
scale or World competitive report. Nothing we say or do adds value to our GDP
or changes the quality of the citizens of this country or create employment. This
is what I know for sure as I type this someone from South Africa is on the
internet looking for a hair extension supplier in china or booking a flight to
go and meet a supplier in china, better yet they are already flying to China to
go and find suppliers of hair extension manufactured in China by Chinese, to be
used by black South Africans and the rest of Africa. This should make us
uncomfortable. As you read this in our harbors they are currently off-loading
containers of imported hair pieces or extensions, and who is the target market?
Black South African woman. Now, that makes me feel uncomfortable, that gives me
sleepless nights. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don’t doubt that there is some truth in the views of anti-processed
hair, make up, cosmetic, the whole beauty industry movement’s views (for lack
of better words). There is some truth in what they stand for. They have every
right to question the origins of these practices. In the same line, things are
changing, the modern woman is influenced by different cultures and people
should be given the freedom to choose. As much as I don’t agree with the notion
of beauty of a woman with silky long hair, shaped defined eyebrows, long
lashes, and a size 30 waist, with pink
skin, but I still see nothing wrong with little enhancement of what God gave
me. So I am part of the industry in very many ways. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My view is let us learn from Black Americans, the swearing and
belittling each other in songs and calling each other the N’ word has been turned into a money making industry
that contributes positively to the country’s economy. They take words, some
unpalatable, some belittling to women and objectifying and turned it into a
multi million dollar industry. They walk around with pants showing off their
underwear and it has become a trend with someone cashing in big time. Where the
world sees a moral dilemma, someone has identified an economic opportunity; a whole new
industry is born and thriving. Some have even made it to Forbes list. Even
Oprah, one of my favorite women has made millions by convincing people to air
their dirty laundry on air to an audience around the universe. We need to get off our high moral horse and start capitalizing on this, we need to take back our power. No Asian man should be
manufacturing my hair extension. That should be making us angry, we should be
protesting. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">August is celebrated as women’s
months in our country and it is the months I also celebrate my birthday. This
year it coincided with a completion of a long standing project in my life. It
is a pretty special months for me. I always had this dream for years and five
years ago, I took the opportunity to turn the dream in to vision. Little did I
know that I will have my own wilderness to the promise land experience? When it
all started I thought it was going to be just pretty straight forward, maybe a
few little bumps along the way, but in less than a year it will all be complete
and I will be in my land flowing with milk and honey. I had a different
mind-set then, I thought if the vision was placed in my heart by God it meant I
would never come across difficulties and struggles, and it is going to be
smooth sailing all the way. In a few months people will be able to see my fairy
tale story and just say exclaim wow “and she lived happily ever after”. I did
not take into consideration the evil step mom in the kids fairy tale that they
exist in other forms and shapes in real life. Like the Israelite I did not
expect to come across the red sea in front of me and an army of Egyptians on my
tail. I was not ready honestly for that, I just wanted to arrive to my promise
land with no distractions, roadblocks or red sea or the Egyptians. I expected
to get to the end of the fairy tale and just hear the line in my head “and they
live happily ever after”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am here in my promised land and
it is everything I dreamt about and more. I can now say that when the bible
says God is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we can ever ask or think of (Ephesians 3:20) and we know that all things works together
for good to them that love God …..(Romans 8:28) I have lived to experience it.
Don’t get side tracked it was not all romantic, I was not any better than the
Israelite along my journey I murmured, I complain, I was frustrated, I doubted
and questioned my dreams and God’s plan for my life. In the beginning I just
wanted to arrive to the end of my journey with no lesson learned, I was not interested
in process at all. I did not care nor even bothered to ask myself if there was
a lesson for me. I would literally cry, throw temper tantrums and question God.
Why did so and so not experience what I am experiencing? Why does their journey
look so smooth from where I am standing?
I would also ask God if this is what he wanted me to have. Is this meant
for someone like me or did I push my own agenda here? Believe me when I say I
was not any better than the Israelites, but through it all at the end I did not
throw in the towel. I am going to be honest it was not because I was the
smartest, most courageous or strongest or wisest person on earth. I will not be
telling the whole truth. It was a combination of the grace of God and
surrounding myself with loving caring people in my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So today I want to pay tribute to
two types of people I met through my journey to my promise land. The first
group is what I will call the Negative group: this is how I describe them,
everyone who said no to me, everyone who slammed the door on my face and forced
me to find another way of pursing the dream that was in my heart other than the
traditional way of doing things. They negative respond or the door that they
slammed in my face might have caused my nose to become a bit flat, (believe me when
I say there was a year where the door was slammed in my face and at the end I
thought this is it for my poor flat nose it will not survive I am going to need
nose job) but it also assisted me in thinking outside the box and also moved
from thinking outside the box to thinking that there was no box. I
really got to learn and live the meaning of Jim Rohn ‘s words when he said “ if
you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t you will find
an excuse. There was a point when I felt condemn by the nos’s and the doors
being slammed in my face that I actually thought whenever I would stand-up dust
myself and looked for other ways I would actually say to myself “You must be a sucker for pain and humiliation
girl”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second people in the Negative
group are the cynical people, the nee-sayers, the ones who have nothing positive
to say, the ones who are always at hand to remind you that it is impossible, it
cannot be done, you are way in over your head, you are too ambitious, how can
you stand to humiliate yourself like this. Who has ever done it in your family
and what makes you think you will make it unless you are following the
traditional way of doing things. Who do you think you are? I am so grateful I met them in my life because
they contributed to who I am today. I moved from fearing their negative
pessimistic gloomy words, dreading their looks and dodging their snide comments
when you meet them( we all have those people who are so sarcastic when you
share a dream with them and when it is delayed you can see and feel how
gratified they are when things are not going according to plan). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last but not least in the
Negative group is the so called friends you don’t need. Friend that seems
excited when you share the dream with but as soon as you hit the first road
block their quick to say I always thought you were way in over your head in the
first place, they are always ready to have a pity party with you, they tell you
what you need to hear. Believe me when I say they delay your creative process
in thinking outside the box, they confide you in a space of self-loathing and
never challenge you. It is so comforting, yet so dangerous and addictive like a
drug. You hit a road block and if you are not wise you might stay there and
build a permanent camp because you have someone who sympathizes with your
fears, disappointments, helps you lick your wounds and instead of experiencing a
one day pity party you end up staying there and build a mansion. You are not
supposed to stay there, pity party are supposed to last for a day and then a
solder must stand up and continue on their fight for their dreams. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last two the negative group
is most dangerous ones because they are close to us, they are friends, family
and acquaintances they are part of our lives. They are there for a reason to
keep us focus. There are there to teach lessons because it is not about just
reaching a goal or a dream it is about the process. The process of reaching the
dream is supposed to refine us, mold us and shape us into better human beings.
The process of reaching a dream can make us bitter or better person, and we
should be striving for the latter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second group is the group
that every human being should have. A supportive group. This is all in the form
of friends, family, praying partners and mentors. A valuable lesson that I had
to learn the hard way in life is that somebody does not like you or does not believe
in you or your dream , don’t take it personally. It does not mean that they are
a bad person. They are just not part of your destiny. If you keep moving
forward you will come into the people that God has ordained for you. I am
talking about people who will listen to your dream and encourage you, people
who will remind you of your dreams when you have lost or strayed from your
path. People who will not support or attend your pity party but will comfort
you but expect better from you. People who will still believe in your dream
when you have no hope left in you, those that will see your progress when you
don’t even feel it anymore. Those friends who will pray with you when all you
want to do is just walk away from it all. We all need those friends who are not
afraid to tell us what we need to hear as opposed to what we want to hear. People
who are not afraid to confront us when we have gone astray or lost the plot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In life it is of paramount
importance to understand that people come into our lives for a reason, and learn
the lessons that they bring. I am now a firm believer that if you let go of the
wrong people and keep moving forward you will come into the people God has
placed in your path. God has divine connections in your future. People that
will celebrate you, people that will want to be your friends, people that will
go out of their way to be good to you, assist and open doors for you. Those are
the people you need to celebrate and show your gratitude. So failure, delay and
struggles should never discourage us but they should make us better, we should
celebrate and appreciate our achievements and milestones because they don’t
come easy. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What am I committed to? That
sounds like a pretty straight forward question which should have a straight
forward answer. I mean human beings operate much like companies, who have mission,
vision statement and values, but most company employees will tell you that what
is written on paper is very far from what is practiced behind those closed
doors. Human beings have dreams, they will tell you without thinking if you ask
them what they dreams, hopes and aspirations are but in reality they are not even walking
towards that ideal life.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lately I have been thinking a lot
about my dreams, my purpose in life and career (vision, mission and values in
my life), doing “an audit” for lack of better words, am I where I thought I would
be in life? Am I heading in the direction I envisioned, have I done all the
things I have always wanted to do, been to places I have always wanted to visit
or seen what I have always wanted to see or at least am I heading in that
direction? Or am I simple just watching life pass me by like a spectator,
better yet a victim of my circumstances and my surroundings. Do I wake up in
the same side of the bed, brush my teeth, eat the same breakfast, take the same
road to work and then go to church on Sunday and repeat the same process with
no effort? What happened to my dreams, my plans and my aspirations? Do I get
irritated, frustrated or better yet defensive when a thought about how my life
has turned out, or worst case I bite anyone's head who dares to question me about a
dream once shared with them. Don’t give me that look, you know as human beings
we do that, we would rather shoot the messenger and hold on to our failures or
lack of action, focusing our energy in affirming and justifying why we are stuck and have just settled for a pitiful life. in fact we would rather invite an audience and guests to listen to how unfair life is. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">They say that the worst thing is
being lied to is knowing that you are not worth the truth, I kind of disagree I
think the worst thing is lying to yourself, and not knowing that you are worth
the truth. To add to it all the worst thing is not being cheated on but
cheating on yourself, your values and dreams and settling for a life of mediocre.
Am glad to say I am not far from the
life I envisioned for myself. I have achieved some of my dreams, been to places
I have always wanted to visit and I try my level best to live a conscious life
and break away from routine from time to time, but with that being said I am
not quite there yet. There are dreams that I should have realized by now and I
must say I still have not given up on them. Some dreams, plans and aspirations
will not be kept silent, they just keep whispering to me, like that man on the
Chicken liken advert with a growing craving. From time to time I am forced to conduct
an audit of my life and with the help of God steer my ship to the right
direction, self-introspection if you want to call it. Company and organizations
conduct what they call customer survey and then they go and formulate new
strategies. President Jacob Zuma does a
cabinet reshuffle.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">During a quarterly meeting with me,
myself and I (kindly note that the recalled and expelled members are not
welcomed, namely: ego, doubt, shame, self-pity, anger, self -loathing, guilt,
frustration, past failures and blame). I have kind of figured out that we don’t
reach a resolution and in turn it delays service delivery and progress. You
invite them and the meetings are fruitless, disorganized and they bring your
organization into disrepute by their unruly conduct and remind me of my past failures and circumstances,
my mind gets clouded and I end up abandoning or postponing most of my dreams,
plans and aspiration. So I had to come up with a strategy to keep them out, do
everything within my power to make sure that I serve them with legal papers
informing them of my decision. I am the CEO and chairperson of my board, I can
hire, deploy and redeploy and recall as I see fit. That’s when I had an
epiphany, everything in life needs commitment, from our
everyday life, to our plans, dreams and aspiration. We have to commit to the
life we want to live like crazy and live it to the fullest. Living life to the fullest means committing
to our dreams, plans and aspirations and refusing to cheat on them with the
unwelcome members (ego, doubt, shame, self-pity, anger, self -loathing, guilt,
frustration and blame) and if you find that they invite themselves back in your
life, don’t be hard yourself just simply show them the door, and renew your
vows to your life of purpose (dreams, plans and aspirations), in all honesty it takes strategic commitment to live a
purposeful life, to dream in color and strive towards making those dreams a
reality, to not only hope but to act, to not just aspire but inspire yourself. Your dreams, hopes, plans and inspiration
deserves a niche market in this complicated life, full of disappointment, pain,
heartache and responsibilities.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">I really admire people who are
habitual drinkers or smokers, actually admire is an understatement, they
inspire me. People who are habitual drinkers or smokers are dedicated, they are
committed and they always faithful to their habits. They always have the same routine,
they drink every Friday, Saturday and Sunday they will have a beer or two. I
mean that is true illustration of what commitment is made of. They defend and
preserve their habits, and they are big on sharing. So my question is what are
you committed too? Why have you gone from cheating with unwelcome members
(ego, doubt, shame, self-pity, anger, self -loathing, guilt, frustration,
failure and blame) and now you stay on a
full time bases with them, walking away
from your life of purpose(dreams, hopes, plans and aspiration). We all have
vision and mission statements in the form of dreams, hopes, plans and
aspiration as I said, but are you living them or are you committed to the
Unwelcome Members and you have become so comfortable with them and they have
become part of who you are? Can you imagine if there was a Khumbul’ekaya
program for lost and abandoned dreams, hopes, and aspirations? It would be very interesting and there would
never run out content because your dreams, hope, aspiration and plans would be
looking and longing for you. Kindly call a quarterly meeting with your whole
self and recommit yourself to living your dreams because they will not be
silent any longer. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
Last week Monday after battling with an issue for years I
woke and I realize that just like the Israelite on Deutoronomy 1:6 I had
stayed long enough in this mountain. I decided to step outside my comfort zone
and walk away from a comfortable yet purposeless situation. Staying in this
situation looked so normal but yet every single day of being in it was like
cancer just like the woman with an issue of blood I decided to press through
the crowd and touch the hem of Jesus garment. I have no idea what the future
hold but I know who holds the future and I can attest to Rosa Parks’ words when
one ‘s mind is made up it diminishes fear. The only true freedom we have is the
freedom to choose. I have always been afraid of rejection, it has always
stopped in my tracks, the thought always paralyzed me, but in one week I have
found myself doing things that I thought I was never capable of doing, reaching
out to strangers and asking for help, favors from friends without the fear of
being rejected or ridiculed. I now know that there has to be a time when a
person does more than just pray but step out and be prepared to walk in the
water, we must stand in front of the raging red sea and trust that it will not
swallow us but God will part it for us. I learned that talking about my
misfortune and listening to why I ended up in the path that I am following will
not change my situation; I need to make a decision to either live in it or
change my course. I am not fearless I am courageous I can say that because as I
look back just this week and realize how many doors I have knocked on I cannot
help but be proud of myself. The truth
is we are stronger and wiser than we think; we just need to press through the
crowd of negative voices, skeptical voices, doubt, fear, rejection, past failure,
anger, frustration, self-loathing, victim mentality and reach for our dream,
make a change and move forward. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Growing up I was tiny or petite
if you may call it. I did not at all think for a second I would grow up and
become a woman or a mother. My mother is in the nursing profession and I
remember how I would watch her every day during routine in the morning or at
night preparing to go to work. My mom was very particular in how she did
things, she still is, she would run the bath, wash her face with a face wash.
Let me tell you I grew up knowing that a woman has to do the three step routine
on her face from an early age, face wash, tone and moisturize It was part of
my upbringing. She would also put on a rich lipstick, nylon stockings and walk
to the kitchen to make strong coffee. She would sit and comb her permed hair,
put on her perfume and she would seal it with coming to my bedroom and using my
long mirror to take one final look at herself. The scent of her perfume would
fill the room and I would not be forced to wake up. I would wake up wave her
goodbye as she walks down the dusty road in her white nurse uniform. She took
pride in her routine. I would rush back to the house so that I can finish her
coffee; I just wanted some of that lipstick that would live a mark on the
coffee mug to rub off on my lips.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she came home she would cook
up a storm, Sunday was even more special, she would cook a colorful meal while
listening to the mellow sounds of old school Rhythm and Blues, she had such
great taste in music, she would play the song Prayer by OJ’s while she cooks,
but she had a thing about dirty dishes and a clean kitchen, you had to wash
after her and mop every single time. It was not an easy thing to do my mom can
pile up dishes when she cooks and she never cooks less than three dishes per
meal. So there were always dishes to wash and the golden rule was that the
kitchen sink was to be empty at all times. When she says mop the floor she
meant spotless clean, I mean the woman had an eye for picking up missed spot.
My mom did everything with a passion, her garden was forever green, she
nurtured her flowers with so much love, and she loves flowers. Her vegetable
patch would flourish. Her work uniform was always white as snow with no crease.
I would admire her and just say I could never live up to that, no ways. I am
going to pass my high school and get out of there and gain my independence; I
will never wash a single dish in my life or tend to my garden.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mom loved her home, she
injected love and passion everywhere in our home, her “off days” where spent
sweeping the yard, mowing the lawn, moving the furniture and cleaning the house
thoroughly and yes cooking up a storm and she would always serve her food in
her best china, there was no such thing as kitchenware for visitors in our
home. She would change the bed linen, my bed linen was always in a bright colors (pink or white) and if I cheated and not wash before going to bed, she could
easily spot it with my dusty foot prints and make me do my own laundry (I
despised doing household chores, I would hide behind my books, I was so
determined to be a professional and did not want to be domesticated).
Everything was always in order in our house, everything always had its place, and
before her routine starts she would make sure she freshens up and comb her
hair. Yes comb her before cleaning the house, the yard and watering the garden,
I am sure you are thinking, who does that? I used to ask myself the same thing
over and over till this day I still do.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a young girl I never
appreciated it, I felt it was such torture. I am going to study my way of such
a life, I will have a helper, a gardener and I am determined to be a
professional woman, you will dare not see me slaving in the kitchen. I am not
going to be like my mom, I looked down on her way of life in a way. Today I am
a professional woman, a wife, a mother of two and yes I am also what can call
an independent woman. I have achieved more than she has achieved in many ways.
But it is what she wanted, for me to have a better life, to be strong willed,
to be passionate about all aspects of my life, and be it at work, school, and
home and as mother. She wanted me to be grounded, be a God fearing woman and
have the basics right. Our worlds are very different yet similar in many ways.
As I look myself in the mirror while applying toner in my eyes I cannot help
but to see her reflection in my eyes, and smile, I apply the moisture and
sunscreen with pride, and when my perfume fills the room, I am filled with
pride and gratitude. I am because she was, a single mother who despite life
challenges did her best with what she was given and gave us her best. She went
back to high school, got a Nursing Diploma and built her own house so that I
too can have a dream.<o:p></o:p></div>

My little girl is 3 years old,
she is such a fun loving child who adores me, I have never seen such love and
admiration until I look into my own eyes and realize that it is the same look I
would give my mother when growing, I would try her shoes, her lipstick like my
daughter does. I would want to emulate everything she did. The truth is that
our kids learn better by watching us in action than us telling them what they
should do. As I mature and get wiser I am learning that my mom and I have more
things in common than I could have ever wish for. I might have full time
helper, but I am still hands on with the day to day running of the house, I
might have a gardener, but I still walk around in my water boots and with my
little hand fork looking for weeds. I actually call her for gardening advice. I
love good food, I can cook up a storm, and the difference is I will buy any
cooking gadget that will cut my time in the kitchen into half. I dress up and
adorn myself, maybe not as conservative as my mom, but I see her influence in
every area of my life and I must say I am very proud. I guess I am my mother’s
daughter. Happy mother’s day, I hope to
have the same influence on my kids one day. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My kids make life worth living,
actually that is an understatement. They make life to be a big adventure, a
spiritual experience and they make me look at the world with compassion, love
and forgiveness. My first born who will be turning twelve years of age has
taught me a lot about life. First let me be honest and say I have not always
felt this way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My son was always energetic,
hyper for lack of better words, could not sit still or concentrate. He did
things in his own way, in his own time and that usually meant that he could
just wonder off in public places, creating uneasiness and chaos for me. Needless
to say the early years of his life I spent them in panic, anxious, running
after him in crowded malls, supermarkets and big retail stores. When he was
diagnosed with Petit-mal epilepsy, ADHD and later Asperger syndrome I actually
felt and thought it must have been a punishment from God. I spent a lot of my
time asking the wrong or unproductive question. Why me? What is it that I did
to deserve this? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The truth is “why me” prevents
you from learning and growing as a person. When you spend your energy asking
the wrong question you miss an opportunity to grow learn and get to closer to
the fulfillment of your purpose or evolve and become fully the person God meant
you to be. My little girls who turns four this year is a complete opposite of
his brother. She is the life of the home, always full of a smile, when she was
a few months old we used to call her smiley, she is already speaking two
languages, potty training her was easy, she is always in a good mood. Needless
to say it would be easy to gravitate towards her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Ever since</span> she was born I started
asking myself question, not just asking question but clearing my thoughts and
being observant enough to receive the answer and embrace the lessons that both
my kids are here on earth to teach me. My son may not be a” by the book” child,
his social skills developed slower than kids his age, he does not read
people’s faces or show emotions as expected. He has taught me patience(I have not mastered it yet LOL), he has
taught me to think outside of the box. I have had to learn creative ways of
teaching him what comes to you and me naturally. Yet despite of all his
challenges there are spontaneous and charming things about him, he loves to
read, he enjoys swimming, he loves to play electronic games and at the age of eleven he still enjoy cartoons. He has a very sharp memory for things that matters
to him (What that basically translate to is he will remember the names of the
soccer players in the Spain squad that was playing in the FIFA 2010 but will
not remember the details of his school homework, much to my frustration). The advantage is that when parents with kids
his age have to battle preteens who are fashion conscious, he is content with a
game or a book to read. Over the years I have tried in many ways, conscious and
unconscious to push him to where I thought he should be, in a way
sending a message that he is not acceptable. Lately I have learned to do
everything in my power to send a message that you are okay the way you are, you
are loved and accepted. After all that is all every human being under the sun
would like to hear. That is all that I want to
hear from people around me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My daughter is the darling, she
is playful, full of joy and people are drawn to her. She is outspoken and free. There is one line
that everyone who meets my her seems to share, I am sure you were like her
when you were growing up. There are day were I can easily relate to that, and
there are days when it is harder. Life can make you forget, the challenges,
hard ache, pain and disappointments can make us get lost. The busy life we lead
can make us forget to stop and appreciate our strength and the little things
that makes life worth living; we end up so uptight and drained. When I look in to my daughter I see life and
sunshine. I see hope, I am forced to reconnect with my inner child and play.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My son teaches me patience, with
him and with others, he teaches to love unconditionally, he teaches me to
nurture and to learn to be kind with him and also with myself. My daughter brings out the fun side of me; the
adventurous care free girl always comes out to play when I see her. I guess my
friend’s tweet of saying a mother’s love is always whole even when divided is
the truth. When it is all said and done
I cannot help but think that every person in my life has a lesson to teach me
or a character to develop in me. I must just open my arms and be ready to
embrace the lessons.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">This week as I
was sitting late and just reminiscing about my life, something came into my
mind and just put a smile in my face and igniting a warm spirit of gratitude in
my heart. I am very particular about the things I like and there is usually a
story behind them. I am such a sentimental person and in every detail of my
life there is always a movie, a TV series or soapies, a teacher, a place I
visited or a book I read that must have planted that spirit in my heart and
inspire me. When I was growing up I use to tell my mother and this family
friend that with my first salary I will buy myself a Michelle Herbelin watch. I
am now older but have discovered that I am not much of a watch person, so it
does not make economic sense to spend a lot on an item I will hardly wear. In
the past two years I have been planning to buy myself a fine bone china dinner
set (I prefer my tea in a tea cu and not a mug), needless to say that it has
taken a back sit and some more pressing matters had to take priority. It is
just one of those luxuries that I can do without for now, at least that’s what thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">That is until
three weeks ago when a dear friend told me that a store near her place of work
has them in stock. With such enthusiasm and passion she insisted that I come
through when they open again the following Tuesday. Our appointment was set and
she took me through and I was able to get myself a set. The fulfilling part was
that I got it for a fraction of retail price. Can you feel the warm smile oozing
out gratitude in my heart? I remember sharing my desires with her a year before
and I was so delighted when she remembered. Sometimes a small thing you do can
mean everything in another person’s life. As I sat alone I could not help but to
realize how God answers all our prayers, how all our dreams no matter how
small, insignificant or petty they might seem they do come to pass. Truth be
told it is not easy when you have experienced disappointments, failure and
heartache to remain hopeful and grateful or even notice when you experience
little miracles of life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit year 2012 was not an easy and kind year
to me, I am glad I was able to be present enough to notice. Go on open your
mind, follow your heart and reach for your dreams, don’t put a limit on
anything The most important ingredient is maintaining a heart of gratitude, having
a mind that is clear from worry, murmuring and complaining so that you are able
to notice the little miracles of life and marvel in them. I like what Louisa
Hay say, “The universe loves grateful people. The more grateful you are, the
more things you will have to be grateful for”. Who said that we cannot have
everything we desire, I say I can maybe just not at once.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"> </span>I must say after reading the
reviews on the internet I did my best to avoid the book. When a friend finally
made sure that I have it in my hand, I knew I had to face my fears and read it.
The book is such an easy intimate read; she takes you through her journey of
life. You get to experience her pain, heartache, anger, fear, anxiety,
loneliness and also share in her bravery, courage, her honesty is refreshing. When
you read the book it’s like you can touch her emotions. It is about her battle
with depression and being in the sport light, how it nearly robbed her of true
joy. I actually twitted to her after reading and said she is to the black woman
what Peter was to the early church. (Depressions is viewed as a “white people‘s”
condition) Peter was the first to raise his voice on Acts 1:14:39 and preach at
Pentecost when the church came to be. By sharing her story and living no stone
unturned she has given clinical depression a brand new face and voice, one
which a lot of us can relate to and connect with. She has given me hope and for
that I can recommend this book to anyone.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2012 presented me with many challenges. Some of them I thought I would never rise above them. During the end of 2011 I lost my father, even though we were not close, I felt like his death symbolized a death of a childhood longing, I always hoped that one day we would get to know each other and he would get to know the woman I have become. While I was still mourning, and making peace with the process I lost my grandmother, who I was very closed to and loved dearly. My grandmother’s teachings and upbringing has contributed to making me the woman, mother, wife and friend I have become, saying goodbye to her has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life. In between there was the death of my favorite artist Whitney Houston, before you give me that look: hold it, we all have that one artist that we love, might be a movie star, singer or a soccer star, those close to me understand my deep love for the fallen artist, the rest I don’t care if you call me crazy, but I was and still continue to be a fan beyond her grave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Death is a funny thing, no matter how long you see your loved one battle an illness or how many funerals you attend; you still don’t get used or prepared for a loved one, in my case an anchor of a family passing on. Watching my whole family drawn in so much sorrow, heartache and pain was not easy at all. I literally lost my way, I could not blog anymore, I was not motivated, I felt like there more I tried, the more projects I took on, just to numb the pain, the harder I tried the more I felt life being sucked out of me. Needless to say some projects failed which just contributed to anxiety, exhaustion and my confidence taking a knock and dive. But through All my trials and tribulations I learned to depend on God, I grew closer to him more than ever. I learned to seek his face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As 2012 draws near to an end what I have learned and know for sure is that life is full of challenges, heartache and pain. It is full of failing and falling. It is full suffering and loss. All that I have mentioned happens to all of us at one point or another and we don’t choose it just happens. But it is also full of overcoming, joy, pleasure, peace, blessings, laughter, fun, love and friendship. In the midst of a storm you can still experience all that and more. You must just remember that when life looks foggy you have to clean your windscreen to notice them, but they are there. What I learned is that all those I termed negative experience are not permanent and are meant to make us grow stronger, learned the lessons and also to evaluate and reflect things in my life. It is through the negative experience that we grow wiser and learn to stand taller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking back, even though it was a tough year I had a lot to celebrate, I did not lose sight of my dreams and plans, and I pushed on. I completed my studies and graduated. I still had the guts to travel oversees in a trip of a lifetime; I got to experience the history of Rome and toured the Vatican City, Saint Peter basilica, Sistine Chapel the Collosuim, the Spanish steps and the Trevi fountain( I participated in the three coin ritual and made a wish that I would one day return). I love to travel and also old architecture and the trip combined both for me. I now appreciate why MichaelAngelo the famous artist is synonymous with elegance and beauty. The artwork is breath taking and I could not help but to be amazed. I stood there in awe appreciating all the talents and I came to the conclusion that such talent can only be God given. I mean the walls, floors and ceiling were hand painted ages ago, but even in the 21st century I was still able to appreciate the artwork and the sculptures. I also had the pleasure of traveling onboard a cruise ship between Sicily, Crete, Turkey, Greece -got to visit the Acropolis Theatre and lastly Chania. The trip will remain a sweet cherished memory in my life, one I will take with me wherever I go. It is one of the experiences of 2012 I intend to treasure and hold to and take with me to the future, living behind the painful past. By the way one thing i know for sure you have not tasted ice cream until you have had a taste of GelatoItalian Ice Cream); it is like heaven in a cup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During this festive season just too close of the year I have managed to take a road trip with my family that I have always wanted to take. The beautiful breath taking Garden route, driving from PE to Cape Town with my family. We got to see some of the most beautiful breath taking epic views, the most amazing landscape and scenery. We went past Jeffery‘s bay, Tsitsikamma, Plattenburg bay, Knysa, George, Mossel bay. Going through the route felt like I am watching an episode on Travel Zone channel on 3D, only difference was that it was actually happening and I was partaking in the experience. I got a chance to see aerial view of the sea and some of the coast line towns as we drove by. We also took a detour to Montagu a small town with many wine farms that also produces dried and canned fruits. We went past Route62 in Ashton for some wine testing, and then our trip ended in Cape Town. I now have a better appreciation of my beautiful majestic country and most off all I am at awe of nature and God’s creation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The truth is as much as I experienced pain, heartache, loss and failure it is comforting to my spirit that all the heartache and pain did not stop me from living my dreams. I recently went through one of my old journals and I could not help but to smile when I realize that most of the things on my bucket list I have managed to experience. I have now come to a conclusion, I will keep pressing on no matter what, I am renewing my commitment to living my life by design, I am renewing my commitment to dreaming in color and also writing my dream, vision and plans down. They do come to pass, they might not happen when I want them to, but if I keep my eyes on the price I will get there. I am looking forward to 2013, from now on it is very simple for me whatever I do, in thoughts, in speech and action must bring me closer to my dreams. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like what Abraham Lincon said, the best way to predict the future it is to create it. In short good bye 2012 but if given a chance to do things all over again, I would not change a thing because it has made who I am and the good and the bad has worked out for me at the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Nothing lasts forever by Dr Anniekie Ravhudzulo</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is such an easy read, which keeps you coming back for
more, needless to say I completed the book within a week. The truth is,
nothing last forever and life is nothing like the fairy-tale in the children’s
books that we grow up reading. Life is a battle field, full of laughter, joy,
pain, challenges, victories and falling and getting up. The book gives the
necessary tools you need to live a victorious life in a world full of
challenges. What I like the most is that it feeds you with the word of God and
it has taught me to use the word as a weapon, it has given me the courage to
face whatever comes my way with confidence in my Lord Jesus Christ. I now know
that no matter what season I may be experiencing be it, winter, summer, autumn
or spring, I face it alert, watchful, and vigilant according to 1Peter 5: 8-10.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">August marks woman’s month and it also marks the celebration of my birthday. This year I have decided to write a letter to my 16 years old self, using the lessons I have learned and my favourite quotes and words from some of my favourite personalities. The lessons would have come any handy as a teenager, and as they say when you know better you do better, I intend to teach my kids so that they can navigate through the jungle called life easy. Needless to say it does not mean I have mastered them, but I am still a student of this classroom called life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Learn to count your blessings:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> not your burdens. Practice counting your blessings as soon as you jump out of bed, try counting them one by one, and it will melt your worries away; it will give you the energy you need to face the complex day<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or a challenging and trying time ahead. There more you praise and celebrate your life, there more there is in life to celebrate (Oprah). One thing for sure pursues happiness and joy, don’t want to acquire or achieve material wealth to be happy, just be happy. Be happy because you have woken up, you still have life; you still have one more day to fulfil your dreams and plans. You are still healthy and standing. When it is all said and done just be happy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Take it one day at a time:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> don’t try to do everything or solve all the challenges you encounter in one day. There will be times when a week might overtake you in one day, a months in one week; it is fine it shall come to pass. God’s mercies are new every morning. Sleep on it and with each morning comes new strength and hope. When you try to figure out everything you’re exalting your reasoning above God’s thoughts and plans for your life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Embrace your uniqueness</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">: it is okay to be different, embrace what makes you different and nurture it and use it to your advantage. Accept the fact that some people might not accept it, but as long as you can accept who you are. You might be too talkative that can be strength and a career can be born out of that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Embrace your body</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">: love your body, every single part of it, it is God given and it will carry you through, so love and take care of it. Love your curly unmanageable hair; love your fair skin, short petite stature and think lips. Your body is a temple of God, so treat it as that. While you are at it watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Your mind is a garden and your thoughts are the seeds and you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds. A healthy mind will make taking care of your body easier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Be your own best friend:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> be kind to yourself, always speak to yourself as if you were three years old. Pick yourself up when you fall, forgive yourself when you make mistake and look for lessons to learn from the experience. Be your own biggest fan and coach, encourage yourself, and believe in yourself and the beauty of your own dreams. Remember what ever thought we continually plant into our minds will grow into what we will later experience in our lives. I like what Venus Williams says “You have to believe in yourself when no one else does, that makes you a winner right there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am a firm believer in the power
of words and the right words spoken at the right time can shape a person’s life
or future. I have to agree with Ms Oprah when she says that for every one of us
that succeeds, it is because there is somebody there to show us the way. We all
need heroes in our lives and we can all be heroes at some point in our lives.
My mother fell pregnant when she was still in high school she went and got
married without completing her high school. When things did not work out she
decided to walk away, my grandparents welcomed her home and giving her an
ultimatum to go back to complete her matric. In my mother’s words she says that
her mother simply put it like this “I will not stay with anyone who does not
have a matric.” She also went on to complete a diploma in Nursing while
grandmother took care of my brother and I. My grandmother is her hero; my
mother is a Professional Nurse and enjoys the fruits of having and education
and independence today. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I love my grandmother; she is
probably one of the most influential people in my life. When I look at my life today there is lot of
inspiration I draw from her, in my career, my life as mother, an entrepreneur
and a writer “wannabe.” A few years ago while visit my grandparents, we were
sitting at their favourite place, which is the patio in front of the house I
grew up in. My grandfather was busy talking to us about work in the corporate
world and my grandmother turn around and asked what is it that my grandchild
does for a living? My aunt answered confidently and said she is in IT. My
grandmother’s responds brought such deep sited mixed feelings of shame and
relief. She said what is that? That is not what my grandchild use to like and
dream about growing up, I know my grandchild’s aspirations and I remember all
those posters of people who she use to admire. I could not even look her in the
eyes or even get myself to come up with an explanation of why I never followed
my childhood dreams. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At that point in my life I was
really trying to convince myself that I am in the right career, trying my best
to silent that voice within me that kept nagging. The truth is my grandmother
always believed that I was smart, the tone of her voice when she spoke to me
when I was young made me believe that I could be anything I wanted to be. Her
face would light up when she spoke to me or checked my school work. She always
expected the best from me. The conversation on that patio with my grandmother
went on to ignite a fire that had long died out. It gave me the courage to want
to follow my purpose no matter how ridiculers it may sound. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You see I love story behind the
story because that is when you will learn the power of words, how the right
words spoken at the right time can bring life to a dead situation or light a
path for someone who is trying to find a way. Every single successful person
has a story to tell, of how something someone said or did, gave them hope or
helped them figured out what they wanted to be. Take for instance Ms Oprah Winfrey;
I am not talking about the fame, fortune and the influence. I am talking about
a story that she tells over and over about when she was starting out in her
career and after she had been on her first movie role on the Colour Purple where
she was casted by Quincy Jones. She tells a story of how Quincy Jones said to
her baby girl your future is so bright it is blinding. Those words carried her
through and she has seen them come to life. 30 years the words have manifested
in ways she could have never imagined.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As we travel in our journey
called life we all get lost and there is nothing more comforting than kind
words spoken or deeds that help us find our way. Something said when we have
lost confident that makes remind us that there is someone who still believes in
me, and takes my hand this is the way back to your true calling. I was really touched by the story behind the
song “I Look to you” in Whitney Houston’s last album. R Kelly wrote it for her
twelve years ago and when he presented it she passed on it. R Kelly kept it for
Whitney. When the time was right for the particular song in her life she
recorded and included it in her final album. That is a beautiful story of
believing in someone and being their hope when hope is gone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am grateful to everyone who
believed me and who saw my potential. I am where I am, and what I am not only
because I believed in myself but also because someone else believed in me and
their words or deeds paved a way for me. I challenge you to do a self-introspection and
make a list of people that have touched your life with their words or deeds, a
list of people who have planted a seed in your heart, inspiring you to want
more, to be more, who have opened that door for you, no matter how small it
was, might be your mother, grandmother, teacher or a neighbour. Go out there
give back to life intentionally by being what those people were to you to
someone else. You will never know whose life you might change or whose lamp you
might light!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Well where do I begin? My blog
has been inspired by the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> season of the Celebrity
Apprentice. I like the whole concept of combining the corporate world,
celebrity status and philanthropist work all done with a bit of swagger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What could be better than watching a group of
people trying to compete with each other and all for a good cause? Lately I
have found myself with more disturbing questions than answers. I feel like I am
being forced to make introspection and I cannot keep quiet about this. You see
I am a feminist, independent and I believe that all things being equally woman
can achieve what man have achieved and even exceed. To add to it we can do it
in stilettos, lipsticks and nature kids in the same breath. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even thou a lot have been done for the
equality of woman in and outside the corporate environment in the past decades,
I cannot help but feel like we still have a long way to go. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Let me take you through my
observation about Donald Trump’s celebrity Apprentice. He gets a number of celebrities
and divides them into two groups and they are given a project or task, they
agree on a project manager, do the work, and a winning concept is chosen and
the losing team meets Mr Trump in the boardroom were someone will be fired. I
have watched season 3 of the show and I am currently watching season 4. I am
going to be honest with you guys, when I watch shows like this; I always
support the women’s team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do not even
hide it, the feminist in me just says I believe in you and you can do it. In
the two seasons I must say I have been disappointed. (Let me confess I have
cheated already, because of the women’s behaviour in the last two episode I
have already consulted “Uncle Google” on how it all kind of plays out in the
end.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Last season I watched as the
woman’s team tear each other down in the boardroom, in full view of the other
team who seem to enjoy watching the boardroom cat fights. All that Donald Trump
has to do is just ask one provoking question and the women will just pour their
hearts out, living cracks in the team that cannot be repaired. I could also not
help but to watch how the men’s team always hold back about talking negative
about each other when it is not called for, they focus on the person’s performance
on the given task than being personal. I watched in agony as the woman’s team
loses episode after episode or at each other’s throat until Donald Trump
reshuffles the team. At the end I was sad when Holly Robinson Peete was not
crowned the 3<sup>rd</sup> Celebrity Apprentice, even though she was my favourite,
not only because she is a woman, but I really respected her passion and fire
for the charity she was raising funds for. (You can read more by visiting http://www.hollyrod.org/)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was so excited when MNET moved
the 4<sup>th</sup> Celebrity Apprentice to prime time and I must say I have
been watching religiously, cheering the women’s team with so much enthusiasm, I
mean with the likes of Star Jones, La Toya Jackson, NeNe Leakes, Dionne Warwick
and Lisa Rinna; it surely makes for interesting viewing. The team were doing so
well and wining most of the tasks. I am surely enjoying the drama but hoping
this time the women would have learned from the previous season and not lose
focus. Sadly it is like the women have taken from where the women’s team from
the previous season has left off. The infighting, the cat fights that goes from
the boardroom to their lounge( even after winning a task) and carries over to
their next task. You have members taking things personally and calling each
other names after a boardroom session with Donald Trump and his team. Donald
Trump continues to ask probing question and one of the women never disappoints,
one of them will surely start talking like a broken record without thinking
about the consequences and how it affects their overall survival and strength
of their team. It is as if the women’s team care more about their emotions and
nursing them, than the overall point, which is supposed to be about beating the
other team while winning money for their charities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Do not get me wrong I have also
noticed men gang up on one of their team members Gary Buses , but they were
all in solidarity, and it was about trying to get rid of the weak link in the team and they
succeeded. They all agreed that he was distractive and his lack of focus and
concentration made him a liability to the team.On the other hand the women takes
it personally when a team member does not agree with them; they go on to call
each other names like<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>manipulative,
evil, fake, phoney, pretentious, licking ass and conniving. To me when words
like that are used over and over I automatically associate them with character
assassination. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When words like that are used to
describe a team member they create a barrier and block your ability to hear each
other’s ideas and make good judgement that could benefit the team. It becomes
about proving the point and they miss the point at the end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have watched over and over as women’s team
fail over and over to put their differences aside and focus on the goal which
is winning the task and watch the men’s team as they face Donald Trump, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> from the comfort of the lounge over a
glass of wine. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel like following the
show has held a mirror in my face and forced a reflection in my face, and sort
of shed the light to why it is hard for us as women with all the rights and
laws that are supposed to work for us are still finding it hard to make
progress as teams or individuals in our personal and professional lives. I am forced to acknowledge that the pull me
down syndrome is not a myth but a reality, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as long as we do not know how to turn one of
our biggest character, which is being emotional into a strength, use it for our
good not tearing each other down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I mean let us face it, this is
not just a challenge in the boardroom, and the toxic rivalry can still be found
in our personal lives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take the
following scenarios for instance, it is “normal” and justifiable for a woman to
go out with a man with kids from a previous relationship and the woman goes out
of their way to make sure that the man has no relationship with his kids or
takes care of them, a woman will go out with a married man knowing very well
that it will tear the wife apart when she finds out but justifies it in her
heart, even take it further goes and falls pregnant and go out of her way to make
sure that the wife finds out and make sure she is torments her about it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Let us face it we have guts and when
our minds are made up we do not fight fair. I guess if we invested and
channelled the energy positively a lot of corporation, partnerships, and
empires would have been thriving. I am of the view that woman who seeks to be
equal with man lack ambition (Marilyn Monroe), but when you empower a woman you
empower a family, a village and the whole nation. I think we need to make
changes to get ahead in life and business and the largest room in the world is
the room for improvement. I hope I have learned my lesson and I can go out and make the necessary changes in my own life .</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Six years ago when my husband was leaving his old company, they gave him the book as a present. I was reading the book for the sixth time over the weekend but there is a story behind this book, now do not lough at me or judge. The story goes like this, my husband first brought the book home and finished reading the book, and he had tried unsuccessfully to get me to read it. the book must have been in our house for more than 8 months before I could actually commit to reading it, I had tried a couple of times to read the book but could not get past the first chapter, then one time after one of our heated arguments, I decided that I was going to give him the silent treatment. <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Godfrey%20Ligaraba" datetime="2012-03-12T11:12"></ins></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-prop-change: "Godfrey Ligaraba" 20120312T1111; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You know being as talkative as I am it was not going to be easy since at the time we were traveling together for about 70 kilometres to and from work. I thought reading this book in the morning while we drive to work will be the best tool to use in ignoring him. Little did I know that it was exactly the book I needed to grow as a person spiritually. I have since kept the book on “my coffee table” and I always go back to it for reference or to remind myself about the importance of gratitude and counting my blessings in my life. <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Godfrey%20Ligaraba" datetime="2012-03-12T11:11"></ins></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-prop-change: "Godfrey Ligaraba" 20120312T1111; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the book Dr Demartini teaches about the importance of counting your blessings, he teaches that every single experience in a person’s life is there to teach a lesson, if you do not learn from an experience, you will probably meet the same people or the same experience until you learn the intended lesson. So this is the perfect book for me whenever I have an unpleasant experience that seems familiar, I always go back and read it again. The book teaches you how to turn stressful situations into an inspiring learning experience. You learn how to transform the negativity of your fears and problems into positive actions. The author challenges you about the victim mentality and gets you to take responsibility for your life moving forward. Count your blessing has been an inspiration and a blessing that I keep coming back to over and over. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I grew up in a village called
Tshisahulu in Venda Limpopo, in my grand parents’ home. There were five girls in
the house and my brother was the only boy. My three aunts and I were more than
close, we did almost everything together. We played, walked to school together;
we would share house hold chores, do homework together, played in the streets
together, went to Sunday school together, were confirmed in church together, we
would make plans to cover each other’s back when we wanted to see our
boyfriends. My grandparents were very strict and we knew if we would get
caught, the rule was an injury to one was an injury to all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the past week I was really
taken back memory lane because of the
death of my old time favourite singer Whitney Houston, I started reminiscing
about how active and innocent we were as kids growing up in the dusty streets
of Tshisahulu. We played house, hide seek, jump-rope, double Dutch, marbles,
kick, hopscotch to name a few and of course some indigenous games, We would
play outside so hard until late and my grandmother would have to shout for us
to come back to the house. We would rush back home covered in the red soil from
head to toe. My grandparents’ yard is full of mango and litchi trees and we
would climb the trees, daring each other on who could climb the highest and
reach for that yellow ripe mango or simply climb up during a game of hide and
seek, we would also enjoy going to the nearby bush for catching locust and birds
to come back and play house. I remember even having a pretend wedding at one
point as a child. How Can I forget trying to make Marula drink called Mukumbi
during marula season?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The festive season was so much fun and extra
special when I was growing up; we all looked forward to it with so much
anticipation. My mother or grandparents would buy us “Christmas clothes” and I
would sneak into my mom or grandparents’ Wardrobe to look and admire the
clothes when no one was watching, counting down the days. Christmas Eve would
be accompanied by the smell of freshly baked scones, muffins, cakes; we would
stay up late while my mother or grandmother make the traditional dessert of custard
and jelly, we would fight to lick the custard pot. When Christmas day came we
would get all dressed up and Christmas clothes were usually a dress, and a new
pair of shoes and blow dried hair. The shoes would still be so tight because
you are wearing them for the first time. I looked forward and cherished those
days. Back then you were really blessed if they bought clothes for you just out
of the blue, you really appreciated it. I really struggled with keeping myself
tidy the whole day, come lunch time I would have red spots of beetroot salad
covering my pink or white dress. We
would walk from one street to another parading our brand new clothes. It was
the only time you were allowed to eat a lot of sweets and get away with it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As we progressed to our teenage
years the ballgame changed we became obsessed with music, we would keep musical
books and try our best to write the lyrics of then popular songs, my mother use
to call them national anthems. We would record the songs on radio or a VHS, and
I would be so angry when the DJ would talk during or towards the end of the
song. We would rewind the song until we get the words right. Thinking about it
we would sing songs that we did not even understand their meaning; I actually
believed I would be a famous singer one day and become like Whitney. We would stay up late, and I can still hear my
grandmother’s disapproving voice, saying to us if only you knew your school
books the same way as you knew the words of those songs you would be coming
first in your class. In our household an average pass was not enough because it
would be followed by my grandmother’s speeches about how those songs were a bad
influence in our lives, we knew one thing for sure there would be no Studio Mix
that Friday night because my grandmother will be praying the longest prayer to
remind us of how much she disapproved of our hobby. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Looking back I appreciate
everything about my childhood, the dusty streets, and the indigenous games, the
locusts, the music book, and the pretend concerts we would have because they
shaped me into the person I am today. You see there were no video games at our
home; there was no swimming pools, no extra mural activities at school, no park
with swings. The dusty streets and the nearby field was our park with no
boundaries. The nearby stream was our swimming people and if my grandparents
dared to find out we knew we would be punished, but this did not stop us from
sneaking to the stream from time to time. The fact that if one of the village elders or neighbours saw
us they would make it their business to shout at us and warn to tell our
parents, would not stop us from testing the boundaries. We were having fun,
innocent fun and all we had was each other, we had to be creative. The
neighbourhood kids were a very important part of our upbringing. We learned to
make the best with what we had.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am now older and have kids of
my own; they live in a world that is very different from mine. Their world is
what we use to dream about as a young girl running in the duty streets bare
footed, instant and fast food; swimming pool is part of the norm, video games,
PlayStations, Xbox, Nintendo DS, the internet, a fast paced world of Google,
Facebook, reality TV and music channels. I must say I do acknowledge the
advantages of their world but I cannot help to wonder if they can be as creative
as we were and if their world lacks the space to be creative and the chance to
think outside the box? Does their world create a culture of ungratefulness and
sense of deserving? My view is that my parents had different challenges, and I
am now faced with different challenges when it comes to being a parent, I need
to make sure I raise well rounded, grateful, appreciative kids, who are well
aware of our history or were we come from, our upbringing so that they do not
take for granted the strides made by those who came before them.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Funerals
are a very sad occasion and having said that I can never get used to them, but if there is one thing
for sure about them is that in the midst of mourning it surely brings people into
your life that you have not seen in a long time. During my father’s funeral it
was not an exception I got to see family members; relatives and friends that I
had not seen in a long time. One person that stands out for me has to be an old
family friend who we had not seen in the past ten years or so. As my brother
and I started reminiscing about the past; the good times and the not so good
times; we also remembered some of circumstances that would make him come spend
time “hibernating” in our home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
You
see our “uncle” that is what I will call him for now, was a hard core criminal.
He would come to visit our home in Venda to hide from the police. As we stood
with him trying to catch up, a childhood friend recognized him as someone that
he works with in the same building. My brother and I stood there in disbelief
as our “uncle” confirmed what this childhood friend has alluded to us. When
everyone was gone we started talking about this strange encounter, as we asked ourselves
what a hard core criminal was doing in an office. I mean do car hijackers rent
offices these days, as we asked each other jokingly. We later learned that he
was now in the straight and narrow and has turned his life around.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
A
week ago while my brother was visiting my home we decided to give “our uncle” a
call and spend some time with him. As we were sitting over drinks listening to
him talking about what he now does for a living and his experience on writing
business proposal and starting your own business, I just could not believe my
ears. How does a hard core criminal turn his life around? Is he for real or am
I dreaming? Has he really walked away
from the life he once knew and enjoyed? What was the reason for the change?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
As
the conversation went deeper my uncle went to give one of the most profound
testimonies that went on to ignite a fire of hope in the inside of me that will
never die. He went on to explain that the law finally caught up with him and he
had to serve a prison term, and while serving his sentence he decided to further
his studies and make plans to turn his
life around. By the time he was released he had a plan of turning his life
around, which was a business idea.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
My
uncle went to share with us valuable lessons that will cherish more than gold
for as long as I live. I must say it is so true what Ms. Oprah says “inner
wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it the more you gain”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
First
lessons: Never write yourself off. He
explained that people will write you off and they have the right to an opinion,
but do not write yourself off. When he came out of jail he believed in his
dream and he never lost hope. He was more than determined to live a normal
life. He had spent most of his life hiding from the law and living like a rat,
and he wanted a different life for himself.
When he looks at his life at this moment he is proud of himself, he is now
a law abiding citizen, earning a salary and making a positive contribution to
the economy. What I learned is that life is full of second chances; you have to
believe that for yourself and be willing to take them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Secondly
you must have a plan: While still in jail he put together a business proposal
that was just waiting for him to be released from jail. He did not waste time
feeling sorry for himself, but took responsibility for his life, and did the
best at that moment, which put him in the best place for the next moment. After
being released with nothing but a business plan and confidence in himself he
went to one of the South African bank and arranged a meeting to share the idea.
He did not take into consideration his past and his criminal record. He believed
in himself and the beauty of his dream and it was all he needed. The bank asked
him to come back and do a proper presentation and as they say the rest is
history. He then asked pivotal question,
how many people can convince the bank to give them a mere R1000.00? He managed
to persuade the bank to fund his business idea. The truth is not so many, his
secret was doing his research, using his time in jail productively and he did
not just put a business proposal but ended up with what he called a convincing
bankable business proposal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Third
lesson: never compare your achievements with anyone else. Sometimes it is very
easy to feel like life has kind of left you behind, especially when you compare
your life to your peers. My uncle simply said another person’s success is none
of your business. If you compare yourself to others you will lose focus. Come
to think of it, it is so true; we are all different and we achieve our goals at
different stages of our lives, because our paths are different. The truth is
not everyone is what I call a text book case. I describe text book case as born
to a 2.5 family, slept through the night in your own cot bed at 6 months old,
walked at nine months old, started talking by two years of age, went to crèche,
completed high school by seventeen years old with great marks and got admitted to one of
the top university, completed in record time, got a good paying job and married
your high school sweetheart. I am running
out of breath just writing this. If you fit that description I am happy for
you. Some of us repeated a few grades or passed Grade 12 and had no idea what
we wanted to study at university or which career to pursue; if we did realized
that it was the wrong choice along the way or worse there was no money for
tertiary education, some of us had to enter the job market with no tertiary education
and study while on the job or even study while already holding a full time job,
with kids and a husband, some of us had
kids in high school, or before marriage or are not even with the father or
mother of their first child anymore. I
have to say I take this lesson and bury it in my heart and I will remind myself
that even though I might not be where I want to be or have taken an unorthodox
route to my dreams or destiny; but as long as I do not give up I will reach my goal. From that day on my secret prayer is thank
you God for my unique journey, I know you are working everything out for my
good.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Fourth
lesson: You are as old as you think. Every year when he celebrates his birthday
he gets very excited and feels that he is just a year younger. Being in jail
gave him the opportunity to study and get a formal qualification, at an age where
most of us would have not seen the need. He has not stopped studying since, he
described his house as a library and he is enjoying furthering his study and
gaining knowledge at his age. This just goes to prove that wisdom and knowledge
is more valuable than silver and gold.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
So
what you are waiting for? Are you still going to use age or circumstances or
your past as a reason to give up on living your life to the fullest? If a
former convict can embrace a second chance for himself, what is your reason for
giving up on yourself and your dreams? I must say it does not matter how you
start, but what matters is how you progress and reach your destiny. In the
words of Nelson Mandela “The greatest glory in living, lies not in never
failing but in rising every time we fall”.</div>

I am not a big fan of complicated resolutions that are usually unattainable. Yet in the same line I think it is good to set goals and focus. My take on the whole resolution saga is I prefer all year resolutions, making small gradual changes in my life that makes me a better person and also make my life easier. Little changes that amount to big changes making reaching my goals easy. <br />
<br />
Needleless to say I have decided to be competitive, do not worry “I am not talking about keeping up with the Joneses or the Khumalos”. I am not going to buy a bigger car because my friend changed her car; I am not going to buy three dresses because a friend bought one dress. I am not going to throw an extravagant party for my son because my neighbors had one for their child and I will show them that I can. I am not going to go on a weeklong vacation because my cousin went on weekend away and I know that my husband earns more than her husband so we can afford it. I am not going to change jobs because that friend got a better paying job, so I need to move a notch up. I am not going to change my furniture because a friend invited me to their house warming and I just want what they have. Just writing and thinking about this reminds me of a movie I watched called the Joneses, basically the movie is about a seemingly perfect family in inverted coma, (please use your hands and facial expression when you read this)who moves into a suburban neighborhood, with one thing in mind to promote a certain lifestyle. They are just professional sales people coming to the neighborhood to sell different products and as usual the neighborhood is eating from the palm of their hands in no time, buying what they do not need and getting into debt just so that they can keep up with the Joneses. I challenge you to go and watch the movie with an open mind ready to laugh at yourself because let us be honest we have all found ourselves trying to keep up with the Joneses or the Khumalos at one point in our crazy lives, better yet read up on Wikipedia were the phrase keeping up with the Joneses originated from, very interesting.<br />
<br />
I am talking about taking the idiom keeping up with the Joneses or the Khumalos to a whole new level. How about I strive to keep up with the Joneses in doing good, in helping someone? I was really motivated this week by some people I have been interacting with. The first person is my colleague at work, while I am busy with my own January business as usual; he is busy preoccupied with assisting matriculants from his village with registration into university. He helps matriculants with good marks from his village in different ways, some he pays their full tuition, some he helps to apply for bursaries or funding. He is just an ordinary person yet helping shape someone’s future for the better, in my eyes he is a hero. Last week Saturday I spent in the company of a friend who reminded me how important it is to help lift people up or just enable someone to have a good start in life. How important it is to help someone stand in their own two feet so that they can walk. It might be your own family member, a relative or someone in your community.<br />

<![endif]--><span lang="EN-US">This got me thinking, what if we were to
compete by doing good? I help someone less fortunate than myself, I share with
you what I did to uplift someone and you go and outdo me. We start a different
trend. We start competing to see how many lives can we can touch, change or
make better deliberately. If my friend buys a needy child a pair of school
shoes, I buy them pairs of socks or better yet <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can pay a child school fees for the year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your friend can help a neighbor back at
home with information about tertiary registration, you take it further help
them find accommodation. Your cousin pays for transportation costs for the
enthusiastic but yet less fortunate matriculants, you pay for his registration
fees at university or tertiary institution. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I buy Christmas groceries for family, my
friend gets motivated and buys the kids Christmas clothes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am talking about small gestures that can
make a different to someone else who does not have. </span></div>
<br />
Let us face it, we live in an unequal world and the less fortunate need the fortunate to cross over. We need social revolution, new culture of uplifting each other that will become a norm. They say the purpose of life is a life of purpose. Are you living a life of purpose? Remember, a hand that giveth is more blessed than the hand that receiveth.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I know what you are thinking and the answer
is not even close to that. When you are asked such a question the automatic
response always goes to naming another person or better yet witchcraft. I know
you might be thinking about your aunt or your neighbor, one of your so called
friends who you think does not wish you well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For now hold that thought and let me break it down for you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A couple of friends and I have been talking
about embarking on what I will name business unusual. The challenge is we had
been through this road the previous year and it did not materialize, so when an
email came through with details of yet another opportunity, we all got so
excited, we were screaming, exchanging BBMs, updating Facebook status tweeting and
emailing each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of my friends
actually said we are as excited as school kids before going on a trip. My heart
was literally <a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>racing; I think the last time I was that excited
was after giving birth to my baby girl two years ago.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was immediately overwhelmed with a lot of question, and the conversation in my
head went something like this: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh my
word I need to think things through, how am I going to finance this? I started
calculating the price and took to account the hidden cost. I have a lot in my
plate, is this not being irresponsible or over ambitious? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My heart was racing so fast I thought I was
about to have a nervous breakdown better yet a heart attack. The combination of
being over excited and the worry about the cost was just too much for my poor
little heart. What even made the whole situation worse was the thought of
failure, what if it does not happen?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What if I cannot see this through, not because of lack of trying but
because of circumstances beyond my control? Can my poor heart take another disappointment?
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you believe that I asked myself
those questions in less than ten minutes? My poor mind could not stop thinking
and my heart could not cope and that equals anxiety. I literally could not fall
asleep that night. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the morning as I was taking a shower I
had to ask myself, when did I cross the line from excitement to being anxious
and worried? Does this place look familiar or even worse is it home for me? Do
I easily cross from excitement or clear perspective to anxiety and worry? Is
this how I sabotage myself all the time in the name of being reasonable?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mind always provides me with all this so called
reasons and better yet I will justify this little exercise by saying every
responsible person should ask themselves those question before making any major
decisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let us face it, all was doing
with my excessive reasoning <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was just
feeding<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>anxiety and self doubt, at the end of the day
one more goal, plan or dream will not see the light of the day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The truth is my enemy is not another person
or a system; it is not my neighbor back home in Venda or my aunt from my
father’s side (in my culture they are always blamed for witchcraft). It is
something within, it is my mind, and anxiety is my archenemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made a career out of being anxious and
it must stop. We all have archenemies and they have stopped us from being our
best or achieving our dreams or taking a step in realizing our goals. They
operate like pick pocketers you will not even see them but will notice when you
cannot find your dreams or plans. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
operate like a trusted friend who knows very well that you trust them and they
are supposed to have your back, but instead that familiar voice is your enemy
of growth and development. Your enemy can be procrastination, blame, self pity,
self loathing, un-forgiving (of self and others), pride, rebellion, self
criticism and an I know it all attitude, rigidity, apathy, laziness, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fear and perfectionism, yes perfectionism, Win
Borden sums it up perfectly “If you want to do everything until you are sure it
is right, you will probably never do much of anything.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I know my enemy and you know I have taken
it a step further, when it all starts I just acknowledge it and say I know you
think you trying to protect me, but I am not going in that familiar route that
leads to anxiety and worry, I am choosing a different route, to sleep over it
and believe that everything will work out for my good, it will all fall in to
place because my steps are ordered by God. If God has placed this idea, dream,
goal or plan in my life he will open the necessary doors, all I need is just to
trust the process of life. I do my best with what I have and when the road
comes to an end or cross, I believe that when I am still he will tell me which
way to turn. </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823808861519688323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957989607722217444.post-36813942199232138442012-01-01T16:05:00.000+02:002018-07-08T23:10:48.890+02:00RHYTHM TO LIFE<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-ZA</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I am very talkative. I share what is on my mind with anyone, I am very free and no secrets. Ask anyone who is close to me or who calls themselves my friend. The upside about my character is that I have no skeletons in the closet, or if I have and they should come out they would not shock, embarrass or make me what to be swallow up by a Tsunami. The downside is that sometime when my plans do not materialize, I go through a down ward spiral. I can feel my energy and moral going down like in that video of Mary J Blidge’s song I am going down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to just close my door and not wake up for a few days. You know having a big mouth I know very well that when someone ask me about progress or results of my much published plans I will just shoot and talk about my disappoints or my plan b and c. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On a serious note it the beginning of the year,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the previous year I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had so many plans, some have materialized, some I have failed and some have been delayed because of circumstances beyond my control. As I sit here and blog I realize that I have two choices to beat myself up about what I have not achieved and were I went wrong and promise myself that I must just give up on my dreams and plans since the pain, humiliation and embarrassment <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of not reaching them or failing is unbearable. That is I organize and attends my own pity party. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Just when I was about to start it just dawn on me that even though I am wishing that those close to me will not ask about the progress or outcome of my so called plans in case I die of humiliation and embarrassment, I decided to just look around at what is going on in our world, the truth is people forget very easily, just think about it a few months ago the sex tape of the two officials(the correctional officer and the police woman) were on everyone’s lips, and I am sure just like me, you <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>thought OMG will this woman ever be able to show her face in public? I bet you she has moved on with her life and the country has moved on, it is distance memory now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who can forget about Bafana Bafana’s embarrassing victory dance and they had not qualified for the African Cup of Nation 2012, we all thought how can they be so stupid?, let us be honest the country has moved on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just when we thought things were slowing down then 23 years old drug mule from Eastern Cape is arrested in Thailand transporting drugs, she sent shock waves across the country and got everyone talking, need I mention the social media buzz about this deed? Talk about humiliation on a national scale. Let us face it the country seems to have forgotten about the ordeal and went on with the festive celebration. So what is the fuss about, people forget about things and they move on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truth is the world is forgiving and we are the ones who choose to keep the experience alive in our mind. We choose to fertilize it, water it and visit the garden of our failure and have picnics there while we drink from the well of self pity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We like to sit there and go over what we could or should have done, if only I could go back. News flash you have no influence over your past! There is absolutely nothing you can do to change it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My second option develop a frivolous attitude, but in the same line look at my success and achievements, no matter how little they are and congratulate myself for a job well-done. Go back to the drawing board and learn from my mistake, but have a short memory for my failures and move on. I believe that every failure or delay if embraced properly will reveal itself to you as a necessary step towards purpose and destiny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the words of T.D Jakes, “The saddest scenario I can imagine would be to face death’s rattling call and wonder what would have happened if I had tried harder. It would be terrible to look back over your life and see that the many times you thought your request was denied, it was actually only delayed. Life will always present broken places, places of struggle and conflict. If you have a divine purpose and life has put you on hold, hang on! Stay on the line until life gets back to you. If you believe as I do, then it’s worth the wait or a try to achieve your dreams. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Raise your glass and welcome 2012.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</style> <![endif]--> <div class="MsoNormal">Last week Friday I learned a valuable lesson. It is very easy to throw around lines like “we must accept people for who they are” and “we must not box people”. A months or so ago I bought a wooden TV stand, it was a bargain, since it was real wood, but the trick was that it was not stained. Knowing myself it was not going to be an issue, I am hands on kind of person, and I guess being raised by my strict grandparents has paid off. I grew up in Limpopo and we had to share households chores together with my aunts and brother from sweeping a yard that was full of mango and litchi trees after a night of heavy summer rain, to cleaning the house, you could not go to sleep with a kitchen sink full of dishes, my grandmother would wake you up in the middle of the night and make you wash them without making noise and during planting season or school holidays you would spend it in their farm planting different vegetables, mowing the lawn or watering the garden.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My husband is quite the opposite. He is laid back and he is not hands at all, his idea of a Saturday is a book or giving orders to a handyman. He will mow the lawn or paint if you ask him. He will clean the garage or do any handy work if you nag him. Over the years this has always been one of our biggest challenge. Mostly our conversation would go something like this “can you clean out the garage can you not see that it is dirty” or I want you to pain that rocking chair and his response would go something along this line “but why can’t you hire someone or buy a painted chair?” or just find someone to do it I will pay the bill. I would get angry and start shouting and telling him that he is supposed to be handy he is a man. All men are supposed to be good with their hands. Putting him in that mental box that society creates for people, that makes relationships complicated. Women are supposed to be good at this while men are supposed to be good at that. The same mental box that sees us teaching our girls to “take care of everyone” by teaching them household chores while the boys are busy playing in the street. The mental box that says that a good woman is quite and soft spoken and when you are outspoken you are not “marriage material”. Funny part is I do not like being put in that box; I do not like behaving like I am expected by society, I have made my own rules, my rules are very simple I live my life to the fullest and life is a big adventure for me. I could not be bothered what society and their box prescribes, as long as it does not work for me I am not interested and I am not going in that box even at the risk of being isolated from society. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now going back to that TV stand, they deliver it home and I ask my husband, who has over the years expressed his lack of interest in handy work to vanish the stand for me. He goes and paints it the best way he knows how and I had to bite my tongue and just accept that he did his best and out of love and respect for me. Today I decided that it has been a month or so since he painted and I am going to apply another coat of vanish. I have the patience for handy work, and as I apply layers and layers of paint and I can see it becoming what I had envisioned when I bought it. I started asking myself what was so hard for this man of mine, why could he not do it this was. I just had a voice in my head saying but he was honest with you, he does not enjoy this, but you were suffering from your “mental box syndrome”, were too busy trying to make him fit into the box. It got me thinking if we accepted people for who they are in relationships, be it our friends, partners or kids, we fight not squeeze them in mental boxes, what would happen? If a person tells you I am not good at this in a relationship and you complement them instead of forcing them in a mental box, what would happen? Am I glad I am a work in progress, because it means I am open to learning and becoming a better me!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10823808861519688323noreply@blogger.com0
