Tales of a Zulugal

First Drafted: 29/6/14 I'm on 2%. iPad is on the verge of dying.  This charger ain't doing nothing.  I try again and again, to no avail.  Changing the charger temporarily helped until another issue put my dated ipad to sleep for a couple of years, literally.  Two years down the line, with a new member of the family about to be 5 months.  Finally my hubbie came to the rescue it was 2016.  He managed to get the screen fixed which had been the last issue in 2015. Unfortunately, with a busy baby at large, the screen once again played up and the only answer was to send it back to the insurers.  However due to complication my darling iPad once again sits quietly gathering dust till I perhaps replace it with a more recent model. One can imagine the frustration I felt when the first jam happened. But the first thing I had to do was calm down.  Being upset was definitely not going to help.  The very first thing was to try and get a solution.  Then when option one didn't work

It's been a while, I know. Been meaning to write or at least upload my vlogs on here. Yet it has been me chasing time. Me against procrastination. Getting over the apparent wall, called the writers block. And the bottom line is: belief, self assurance and trusting your inner self. And above all trusting in God. For a while now, I have had the distinct urge to write, to document, to share my 2 cents with the world. Or a few who will somehow wonder onto this platform. So I decide right here, right now. To cut down dramatically my Netfliximg and chill time. And focus on my apparent calling. I have been put to the point of discomfort, when from time to time, I would hear deep from the inner realms of my being " write, go on, just write, you gotta write - now!"  Floating in and out of consciousness ideas and stories cry out to free themselves and be heard. Even if, just to seen by the write herself. Today I choose to brush aside the temporary discomfort of getting my w

I am. The most powerful  two words. Simple but powerful. As the year Draws to a close. Some are in the spirit of the festivities. Others are mourning dreams that have died, feeling like failures because they didn't accomplish their goals.  And some others are in the sombre mood of contemplation. Processing the year gone by. And planning the year ahead. Looking at the past and learning from all the experiences rather than tearing yourself down because things didn't go your way is not the healthy route to take. As the last hours of 2015 tick by. Lets reflect, let's plan, and let's decide to take action in 2016. It begins with one step. A good idea and great plans lie dormant when action is not taking the lead. I read and heard this saying or a variation  of it. And it truly makes sense especially at this turning point. "There are no wrong dreams and plans. But there are incorrect deadlines." So those plans that didn't quiet take shape this year or the y

So after much long deliberation and little bit of resistence on my side. We have decided to take a plunge into doing the infamous mentally challenging detox programme called The Master Cleanse. I have done it 3 times before. The first two times were a huge success. The last attempt, was an attempt at best. I barely lasted four days! The mental challenge is due to the fact that one literally has no solid food for at least 10 days. The only form of energy comes solely from the lemonade mix. This mix is compiled of fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. This lemonade mix is delicious compared to the other rituals that go along side by side with this detox programme.  The first 4 days are the most challenging. As one experiences food withdrawal symptoms. Such as the increased acute smelling capability.  The art of smelling every sublime and delish aroma even if it's a mile away! Unlike the 3 times times I have done the cleanse, this time around I have decided to

The Commonwealth games have kicked off in Glasgow last night. As usual the South african team has a home away from home. Ekhaya is back! Located at the Trades Halls in Glasgow in Glassford Street. Bra Huge Masekela opened Ekhaya last night.   These are some of the acts lined up to perform over the next 11 days: the soil, Vusi Mahlasela, Mahotela Queens, Freshly ground and more. Share and forward my blogs link. This is where I will update the info regarding Ekhaya and commonwealth games. Whichever part of Uk you are in, do you utmost best to catch Ekhaya at some point in the next 11 days, you will not regret it. Ekhaya 2012 was awesome, the community spirit, the laughter, the networking and connecting with new friends and the Live entertainment was memorable and uplifting. I was reminded, once more, why I am proudly South African.
