Youth Day Celebration

I get very emotional when i reflect on the past. What the youth of that time had to go through in schools to get an education. The youth of 1976 took a stand against the apartheid law which forced all scholahers to learn their subjects in Afrikaans. I am forever indebted to their struggle and very grateful to their courage and the hope that they had burning inside them. 

Fast forward to today's youth- 2015. I have seen and learned that there's a struggle in every era. Today's struggle as i see it is Financial freedom. There are too many rules and regulations binding the youth into getting into debt. I believe in a debt free society. I feel that in today's times, the youth gets more sucked up into wanting materialistic things. We have lost focus. We forget why we go to school, instead of using the money that our parents work hard for towards study material, we choose to use it for alcohol, parties, buying clothes and latest gadgets. Our youth is not focused. If ever there is lack at home, we get ourselves into trouble by looking for alternative ways to make money in order to feed our "never satisfied lifestyle". We get involved in drugs, money laundering, sex, and all other nonsense ways our parents no nothing about.

I say we- because I was once that naive young student. I've grown older and mature now but not perfect. I have fallen into a category of career building individuals whom feel the heat of not being satisfied with the level they are at within their careers. A group of young people searching for ways to become successful- i'm talking money makers, dream chasers. On that process of wanting more, we still need to live and maintain certain lifestyles that put us out there. They say fake it till you make it at this age group, the pressure is on. We then fall into a trap of maintenance, saving is the hardest thing on earth with that sale at Zara or latest addition at Top Shop. Need I mention that bargain on men's watches at Amazon.com 

Our struggle today is Financial Freedom, with all the hustle and bustle in today's world. Latest technology, fashion on fleek, social media trends. It is a real struggle to keep up. Getting a credit card has become a necessity. And more and more young people in our society end up engaging in morally incorrect ways in order to keep up with the Kardeshians- including myself.

Amakha-Rose

So I have been MIA for a while now. I am happy to be back to share all the surprises that Life throws my way. It is truly a blessing to love and to be loved. Today I want to share the love that I have for my family.

I am nothing without family. I am blessed to have parents that love and support me. They have been my pillars of strength through the darkest days. Loosing my 2yr old daughter (Amakha Rose) has been a tragedy for me and my family. I was devastated, I was a mess. I went through such a rough patch....which I must testify- I wouldn't have made it without GOD! #truth!....He held me, I was floating in a cloud filled with love and compassion from the Holy Spirit...right through, I mean, there were times i wanted to cry so hard...and when i did...I could feel him comfort me...it was so magical and intense, I kept on humming My redeemer lives.....and so he does. Time heels.Yes it does....I felt like i was experiencing the same thing that Shadrack, Mishack and Abednigo in the burning inferno- I felt Jesus's presence...and Look at me now. I am so over that experience, I came out alive and well. I am stronger, I am wiser and I am blessed beyond reasonable doubt with a family who stands together for better or for worse. I am so proud of mom and dad for making me and for helping me become the woman I have become....good lord I could talk about my family all day long.

Amakha Rose is a blessing to my life, I say IS because even if she is no longer physically on this earth...she still lives in me in spirit. I feel her presence and she is my guardian Angel. I love her with my all and she is just showering me with love.  We have that forever bond.

But this is what i want to say to the person who is reading this right now. Appreciate what you have got, acknowledge your God, Love your family....... You can have it all but without a family that loves you, that appreciates you, that supports you.....you are missing something powerful in your life.  This Christmas- speak to your loved ones, apologize, make things right, be there for each other. I promise your soul will be fed and you will be happy. To those that have lost loved ones, continue to love and appreciate them. They are there- watching over you and they love you. Get yourself a Meduim!!!!! not a therapist not a surgeon....Life will be so much better if you connect with those that have passed on....#TRUSTMEIKNOW.

Merry Christmas

Wow this song says it all.
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
to fly
to fly

Sometimes we have to posses a mentality that is of victory, that we need to master everything we do.
We came here to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive.....we came here to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

If we start believing in ourselves there is nothing we cannot do.

C'mon  world we can do this...we are victorious over all things that set us back. It's our God given trait to conquer, to survive, to thrive and to prosper!.

Total Bliss

Get some time away to a quiet place, a place where the singing of birds can be heard at dawn- pure nature at its best.

Everyone needs some lone time, so go, go to that one place that gives you rest, a place that makes you feel at peace, a place where you connect with nature, a place where you belong.

Life is Full of Surprises

If life is art then its something amazing
If life is water then its finds shape in every space
If life is wind then its direction is unknown
If life is waste, it must have done something to time
If life is to live then its alive
LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES
good or bad- its part of life
I CHOOSE TO BE SURPRISED
Then I know-I'm alive.
