Let It Go!

Just do YOU. No apologies , no explanation the environment around you will adjust ;). Some powerful words spoken to me... We gotta learn to let things GO! Someone said something to offend you, Let it GO, someone did something you didn't expect and it hurt you in the process, let it GO. Something happened you had no control over, let it GO!

I am speaking to myself here. I have been dealing with a lot of things happening to me and my family all at once and some of it made me angry, some of it made me to become weary of letting new people in and also to trust people in general. However the stuff happened and I had to find a way to deal with it.

Sometimes I dealt with it poorly and sometimes I just literally didn't spend much time fretting over it. I believe myself to be a problem-solver and I really want to fix things if I can, if I can't I will find a way to do so.

I have been in a state of anger for a while and last week Sunday at church the Pastor reminded me of how Jesus suffered on the cross and He pleaded with God saying "Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing," He was on the cross so we can be reconciled to God.

That offense and anger I was carrying around distant myself from God and I had to choose to  Let things GO!

When I decided to do so I was FREE to just move on and DO ME, no apologies , no explanations.

Happy FREEDOM Day if you are in South Africa.

Enjoy the day!!

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?"   "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

Being a MOM

While I pride myself in being a Mom, a nurturer and everything that goes with it, I have been feeling much like a failure of late. My girls (especially the middle one and the eldest one) have been struggling in their schoolwork not the understanding of the work but the self discipline that goes with making progress at school. A week ago I sat on one of the benches at the station and just managing to at that time (7am ) of the morning to write notes to teachers in message books as I had kept the girls at home the previous Friday because I forgot to do it the night before. As I went from one message book t o the next I opened the last one that was my middle daughter’s and here two warnings and a nice message from her teacher stared at me. As I proceeded to read the note I was filled with anger and much disappointment... I completely became one of those ladies that just let it “rip” on the train station and yes the “nasty” mom came out you know the one where you switch to Afrik...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
