Remember Where You Come From                                 source: explow.cmo It is sad just how quickly people forget who they are in the race to become who they want to be. We tend to be never satisfied with the person that we are at a particular moment in time, instead we devote time, money and energy into being the people the world assumes we should be.  While we are doing that we forget the true person that lies within us because we are to preoccupied with the worlds image on us. That is why you get people who will do anything to make sure that they come out on to at the expense of others. Where is the UBUNTU - HUMANITY/HUMANNESS in that? It is of no use to be the best at something when there is no one there to celebrate with you. 'You are who you are because of the people that ...

This year is shaping up to be a great year, things just seem to be going the right way. Its amazing how everything takes a turn for the best just when you think everything else is going to fall flat on your face. Recently I told one of m friends that this year is going to be a great year and it truly feels like I was in point. Doing my internship has taught me that in an industry filed with people who want nothing but to bring you down...only the strongest people survive. So here is to being the leader of the pack and not just following from behind, 2012 is most definitely going to be the greatest year so far...
HAPPINESS PERSONIFIED Ever heard the saying life happens when you’re making plans? This week I have come to bare witness to that statement. I’m a reasonably good Christian woman who has been raised correctly in the faith, I have been taught the good values of a Christian women but somewhere down along the road I seem to have forgotten the rules and lessons that I have been taught by my Christian and biological family. It’s not that I forgot the rules on purpose I just let life happen to me like most people. I make plans and demands of God that being a Christian I know I shouldn’t but I do it any ways. I had to learn the hard way that when God sets His plans in motion I have nothing better to do than ‘Pray in the storm while rowing for shore’. I am thankful for this lesson…because it has taught me that when I was a child I thought and reasoned like a child but when I became an adult I had to put all my childish things away and start to reason like an adult. Life is full of ups and ...
it's been a looooong time coming...so I thought I'd try something new, a short story I had to do for my journalism class, hope it makes up for the weeks of silence LOVE AND LET LIVE: ‘Something’s are just not worth holding to, some people are just not worth holding to let it or them go. Open your arms wide to receive new blessings. You cannot do that if your hands or heart is constantly holding on to the things of the past, holding on to past pain or regrets of yesterday. Let it go move forward to the present and have your heart, mind and soul looking forward to the blessings of tomorrow rather than the pain, and regret of yesterday. Be happy enough in your own skin to know when to hold on to things and when to let them go,’ read the magazine article. We all need to learn that something’s are just about forgiveness you can’t progress if you stand still waiting for something to happen in your life, she thought as she stood looking at her watch for what seemed like ...

Let it go Something’s are just not worth holding to, some people are just not worth holding to let it or them go. Open your arms wide to receive new blessings. You cannot do that if your hands or heart is constantly holding on to the things of the past, holding on to past pain or regrets of yesterday. Let it go move forward to the present and have your heart, mind and soul looking forward to the blessings of tomorrow rather than the pain, and regret of yesterday. Be happy enough in your own skin to know when to hold on to things and when to let them go. Let go of the what if’s, the shoulda, coulda and woulda’s, Open your arms wide to receive the blessings of the I have’s and I can. Stop walking backwards and start moving forward, forward to the blessings of love happiness, peace and joy. To the blessing of a new life, full of forgiveness, I love you’s and I am sorry’s. Don’t be afraid of being to swim against current because it is better to swim against the current than to cont...

life lessons learnt at my Focus church group yesterday...its ok sometimes to be just ok no need to add on to things... “I Will Wait…for You” — Janette Ikz So it seemed, that it was cool, for everyone to be in a relationship but me.. So I took matters into my own hands… and ended up with him Him who displayed the characteristics of a CHEATER, a LIAR, an ABUSER, & a THEIF So.. why was I surprised when he broke into my heart? I called 911, but I was cardiac arrested for aiding and abetting, Cause it was ME who let him in… Claiming we were “just friends”.. It was already decided for me by the first date, that even if he wasn’t! I was gonna make him ‘The One’.. You know… I was tired of being alone, And I simply made up in my mind, that it was about that time so I decided to drag him along for the ride, Cause I was always the bridesmaid & never the bride.. A virgin in the physical, but mentally just a grown woman on the corner in heat! Who was tired of the wait! So ...

When I started this blog I put a big emphasis on the fact that it had to cover every from love to music, photography and everything else in between. For the most part I have fulfilled some of the things that I set of to do. So to day I want to share some of my most favourite photographs. For those who know me know that photography is a very big part of who I am, besides church of course...this one is one of my favourite photographs of my cousin her smiling at the camera as if she was made to be in front of the camera, she is one of the many reasons that I chose to tell stories through the camera lens....
