Forever and ever


The past 3 days have been very laid back and relaxing, its like a continuous weekend! I enjoyed that for sure and Im sure everyone else did. But I so wish that I was around my family - my sisters and my parents. The thing is I am miles away they are in South Africa and I am in the UK!!! Its just sooo sad -there are so many things that are going down back home and I am not THERE!! For instance there are 3 new additions in my family- of 2 girls and 1 boy and they have never laid eyes on me. I'm sure when I go home for a visit they will be like 'who the heck are you??' I wouldn't blame them you know, I haven't been home for almost two years now. I know, I know that is a long time and I am promising myself that it is the first and last time that I am staying away from home for such a long period of time. I have actually spoken to people who haven't been to their home countries for over 6 years on end!! It's really sad because they are missing out on so much and they don't even realise it.


What I miss from Mzansi besides my family is the beach, my relatives, people of SA and the fab food!! South Afican food has so much variety mainly because we have so many differnet cultures and many different native tribes on top of that we have 11 official languages! I only know 4 of out of the 11 but I am fluent in only 2. "Mental note-have to be fluent, "in the other 2 languages".


Going back to why we have been able to chill at home and be off from work on Friday and Monday (except for few that had to work on those holidays, sorry mates). It is because thousands of years ago there was a man who changed history and literally changed the calender. When He died that's when the calender was restarted - nobody's death has ever had the same effect on the whole world like Him.


The best part of all He didn't do what he did for himself but for the human race those who would accept what he did and then live in His footsteps. Do you know what will happen to you when you die?? Or you don't even think about death at all -- because it brings the chills down your spine or perhaps you think you are too young to die. Whatever your beliefs or theories about what happens after death. There is one reliable source for the confirmation of where you will spend the rest of eternity and you know what I don't deserve it but it is a Gift from Him who changed Time and the calender we use.


Its all in your hands. Where do you want to spend eternity? Or are you taking the risk of waiting until you die and then you see what will happen??

When the sun bows out, with a smile

Nothing takes away the blow that hits your shallow pit of your stomach.  Closely followed by the stream of tears that involuntarily drip from your face. As I continuously and repeatedly moaned "No! No!" It can't be I thought out loud. I have just learnt that the mother of one of my best friends has passed away. What's upsetting is that a gentle shining star has been returned to her Creator. She was a woman of faith. Having been through the loss of one of her daughters recently, she stood in her faith and kept marching on. Through the pain of loss. She trusted and depended on the Author of her life. She was the one who told us off as we tried to go to places where we were not supposed to.  She never minced her words nor her opinions which were based on her faith. The same faith that we professed and tried to lead. But as teenagers, we thought she was cramping our style. Yet she tried to protect us. It's true we do not know the hour. Her hour came wi...

Sisters for life

My Big sis Gugu and my cousin Sne Letters to my sisters, I have decided to write these letters not only to stay in touch but also to play a role in your life as I am not close by for those moments of need, when you need someone to talk to, when you need a shoulder to cry and when you need a true friend.   These are letters are not only addressed to my physical sisters, but also to all women in general.   Especially those who are about to enter the next most important a crucial phase of their lives: adulthood.     I am hoping these letters will bridge the gap of the physical distance that separates us, presently.   Above all I hope these letters will ignite hope, confidence, self-belief and a living faith in the one who holds all things in His Hands. I promise not to judge you but to show you a sisterly love.   I promise not to criticize you, but to boost your confidence.   I promise not to put down with words that will create doubts, but to lift ...

Lowest Point

Have you ever reached a point in your life when you have felt like it just cannot get any worse, when you feel you have reached rock bottom. Well that is the phase that I am currently going through at this present moment. Bear with me as I attempt to fill you in. Well it all begun about 4 weeks ago when I went into work one Tuesday, I worked for a concession within a Mega clothing Store in Oxford Circus. I had just come back a day before from a lovely chilled out week long break I was feeling refreshed, energised and ready to face the challenges of working in the hectic environment that I worked in. A liitle background on what I was doing at this particular job, well I was kind of in charge of the concession because I worked full time, so if anything went wronge it would all go onto my head. I I started the long day at 8:30am and had to finish at 6pm but most of the time I clocked out at 6:20-6:30pm. I don't mind hard work but working under stressful environment was what I had t...
