This is the kind of wife I want to be - one day in life....now before we go too far I want you to understand one thing, I'm not the biggest fan of marriage or at least I don't think I am, However my cousin who is soon going to be walking down the aisle promising his wife to be that only the ultimate separation - DEATH - will take him away from her. He said something to me that stuck with me about his future bride...here goes 'She stood by me when I was still deciding who I am. She spoke words of encouragement when I felt like the biggest failure. She pushed me to keep going even when I thought I was just standing still. She was in my corner for every battle I faced whether or not she agreed with my battle. But most importantly she loved me * then he did a dramatic pause * She. Loved. Me. ' I laughed a little when I heard him recite this to me because I kept thinking * this brother must have lost his whole mind *. I mean come on, his known this girl for such a l...

Doing the right thing is not always the nicest of things to do, because you never know what the person who your doing this 'right thing' for will see your gesture. Will they think your doing it to stand out, to be noticed or to get glory for always being 'right'. will they hate you, admire you or just plain take it the wrong way. Today I learnt a very big lesson when it comes to doing the right thing...no matter what you do when your back is against the wall and you have to choose between doing right or doing wrong, when you choose to do right even if it means standing alone in a crowd full of people some people will not like it. They will hate you not necessarily because you did right but because you stood for what you believed at the time to be right in that particular situation. It's not nice being alone or feeling alone because you did what was not popular in the sights of those around you. Today I personally know what it feels like to walk this empty road a...

I love you, I really do. I'll give you all I have with an earnest heart. I'll be with you through thick and thin. When the storms rage I'll be right there with you - breathing the same air - holding your hand as we weather the storm together. During the good times I'll be there too holding your hand as well smile through the small and big blessings that come our way. I want, no I need you to know that I love you. There'll be days when I'm mad at you and I'll say things I don't mean. I need you to understand me enough to know I don't mean all those this it's just in the heat of the moment people say and do things they later grow to regret. In those moments I need you to forgive me, because I love you. There'll be days when I'm moody and don't want to talk to anyone - sometimes that no talk list might include you but I need you to know that doesn't mean I love you less it just means I'm gong through a selfish stage and I need y...

Today of all days I ran into an old varsity friend. We started talking politely about how we were and how things were going in our respective lives - you know polite conversations to wile away the time. Then he asked where was I working because he is catching the train to Braam for a meeting and I said great because that means we will be on the same train to work. Once I realised that we had enough time we started to talk about important issues,  not all of them because the train ride was only 15 minutes. He went on to explain how he had started his own business and was also part of helping young entrepreneurs make it big. He then went on to tell me that he had never worked for anyone before he just took the plunge to go into business - he wasn't built to work for others. I'm always happy when I see past varsity mates 1. Because varsity was the best three years of my life and 2. It's always great to see the people you admired or looked up to do great things in their ...

Dear future me I want you to remember how good it was to be young and free and full of dreams...never let go of that image carry your dreams and ambitions in your heart everywhere you go. Learn not to take things so seriously all the tine - it will help with the frown lines later on in life or so I am told.  Learn to appreciate all the small blessings in life they are the things that make living all the better. Go out more and dance your worries and sorrows away. Laugh at yourself as many tines as you possibly can life is too short to be frustrated at the small things.  Don't let the pursuit of your dreams and ambitious get in the way of spending time with your friends and family - after all they are all you have on this earth anyways.  Travel to as many new places as you can, experience as much of other peoples culture as you can...eat foods you don't know even of it means your tummy will ache later on.  Do more silly things in life, do mo...

Recently I have been taking stock of my life and my actions. I know what some of you might be thinking...this girl has too much time on her hands. Technically that's not true if anything I have to squeeze in time to write all these thoughts down. And no, I did not go away to some retreat - where I was sitting cross legged for hours trying to connect to my inner self (not that there's anything wrong with people who do that) it's just not for me. I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming before I see myself doing that anyways I digress from the main point here. Recently during one of my television binges - don't judge me - I came to a startling realisation I'm watching people get paid or at least my watching them is constantly. That made me realise that it's time for me to start making great television rather than sitting and watching great television. I have all these dreams and ideas that I keep idle in my mind because I am so scared to go after wha...

So recently I got a promotion at work. A sort of step up if you will and I thought to myself yes, cheers to the high life all will be well and I'm going to rock this ish out the freak'n ball park.... Man was I wrong and I mean super wrong... Firstly when you step up nobody wants to help you. When your climbing that ladder of success only those who truly want you to see you succeed will push and stretch you beyond your limits. Everyone, well they are just waiting to see how far up the ladder you get before it all falls apart and you come tumbling down to the bottom . That's when I discovered how far the human spirit can be pushed, tossed and refined in the fire before it actually crumbles and falls apart. I've worked hard to get to where I am today through Prayer and sheer Hard Work. Why is it so hard for people to at least respect that. I mean you don't have to like me, that's ok because guess what when two people are hired by a company none of their cont...
