So 2018 is the year to move, take action get things done, make things happen, right?

I decided that I am going to do Yoga this year to stay fit and be active.

Why Yoga you ask? well

2. you don’t sweat too much

3. you look good before, during and after the workout.

Am I crazy? A workaholic perhaps? Nope

There is just this underlying stress that comes with the holiday season, it is like a cloud that hangs over the family during this time of festivities.

Caution:- this does not apply to you if you are on holiday away from your family.

It applies to you, if you have…

Why holding a grudge is not good for you…

How long should one hold a grudge, If at all?

I know of someone who has been keeping a grudge against me for 10 years .

Yes, I know other family members who kept grudges against each other for much longer, me included 🙈#lessonslearnt

I know it’s human, I don’t know what the objective is for doing this but in my mind, it is some sort of emotional punishment toward the next person for hurting you…

Dear God if I ever, ever in my life doubted Your ability, greatness or questioned Your ability to perform miracles, I was proven wrong yesterday.

What happened yesterday, totally shook me, moved my faith It reminded me of when God opened the Red Sea 🌊 for Moses It reminded me of how God appeared to the different disciples It reminded me that God is not as far fetched as we imagine him to be,

Campus life

While I recommend everyone who can afford to go to University, to never skip this crucial step in your life.I understand that it is a privilege not many can afford.

It was one of the most amazing times in my life , I call it the dream phase, the dream phase because we were dreaming about our future whilst laying on the campus grass taking in the sun, envisioning our careers coming to…

I am smiling looking very happy. Bare feet, pretending that the sea sand is therapeutic to my feet (but they…

Choose happiness, always…😊

Whatever happens in life, you do have control over how happy or sad you are ,you have the gift 🎁 to completely choose one thought over the next .

You have the gift to choose happy thought over sad thoughts … sad thoughts are always, more powerful than happy bright thoughts . That is because in life humans are programmed to gravitate towards negativity and sadness much more than positivity.

Positi…

Being opinionated -A blessing or a curse?

White children were raised to be opinionated from birth, their parents ask them from as little as 2 years old, they are asked, what would you like to wear, what would you like to eat, where would you like to go to for supper?

Non-white children did not have an opinion ,our parents would lay out the clothes you would wear on the bed. You would eat whatever is served.

Non white children were raised…
