Word to the wise

Be clear about your intention and the 'universe' will rise up to meet you... Ms Oprah

Remember the universes and all that is in them were created by words. Change the words in your head, your heart and about you so that they are conducive to building and breath life and love.

Happy Holidays!!

I'm housesitting over the holiday season and I think that feeling like my life is in danger every second, it has made me contemplate my life and as a result I have decided I am going to move on from my company. I'm a person that is very loyal and I have been in a proper war with myself because I work for really good people but being good people has not been paying my bills at the end of the month.

I am dying without gym. I don't like going for a walk by myself. I love love love the gym. I'm tired of having sleepless nights at month end. I need to be comfortable in my living. I need a new car and clothes. I need to get back to studying. Hot Dang It!!! I need to travel and break many exotic hearts with my dashing looks! I need to focus on starting my business and giftings. This all equates to me needing money to make money.

And in other news, over the last few weeks I been busy. I reconnected with an old varsity mate of mine. Its been so good! She is such a solid person and go getter and VERY real. The world needs more people like her. We went to Maboneng Precinct. Another mate of mine from EL (orange dress) came over and we went to Vacca Matta. I'm not the type who likes to go out and get drunk but I wanna be on the dance floor and Vacca filled that void for sure!

Pics are attached! Larders have an AWESOME New Years and please please be safe. Let's make 2014 ours!

Tahnee (in a grey top/jersey thingy), one of my faithful readers is on the pics. She is a ridiculously lovely person with such a pure spirit. I hope she moves closer to us and we can hang out more!

Much love

Out and About

Larders

On Saturday I joined my housemate and some ladies at VIP to celebrate all the good things that have happened over the year. It was a good evening. The music at first left MUCH to be desired. It sounded like someone was playing video games and just added bass guitar. Needless to say I am not a fan of rave music. As the evening progressed the music went from "WHAT THE PECK CRAP IS THIS NOISE THAT'S HURTING MY EARS?" to "YOOOOOHHHH! OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP I'M JUUUUUST DYING THIS IS GOOOOOOD". You know when you take off your heels to dance the music is THAT GOOD!!

I danced so much for about 2 hours and Sunday I was so buggered I stayed in bed all day. I dont know how clubbers do the whole clubbing thing every weekend. I think I only recovered yesterday morning. The photos are of us getting ready. In hindsight I wish I had taken pics of us at VIP. Its a beautiful place, very posh.

Have a good day!

Much love

Gift

Before I carry on, I just wanted to take time out to say thank you to all 5 (ha! - maybe a little ambitious but I can dream right?) of you who read my blog. It is very encouraging to hear from people who read and are able to relate. I know I have been very slack about posting but I would like to think that when I post a blog it comes from a place of honesty, to hopefully encourage and remind ourselves that we do not exist in solitude - no man can be an island. We need each other to survive. THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL LARDERS!

So, every year towards the end of the year I always receive a (without sound loopy) word about what the year ahead will bring. I was just sitting a minding my business and I kept hearing the word "gift". There is a bible verse that goes "your gift will make room for you" and I feel like I need to concentrate on cultivating my gifts so that they can make room for me and make me flourish. Larders, I implore you to do the same. I'm not one of those people who believe in luck, though I firmly believe in destiny and timing. I have always believed that your inner most dreams that you tell no one because they sound so ridiculous and will not seem to die (every now and again that dream you had when you were 18 keeps rearing its little pretty head) are your destiny. And if we are real, how many of us actually live our dreams?

I am happiest when I am doing certain things and which I have mentioned in previous posts. Those things I am very good at and they come naturally to me. Some of them I am just realising now. A looooooong time friend of mine, lets call her Thulani, kept telling me that I am a good writer. I knew that I am an average poet but as far as writing is concerned I thought "nigga be trippin'". As I write more and more for work and personally I realise that it would be epic to write a book in the veeeeeeery far future. Reading I love to do but to sit and write a whole book would be LEGENDARY even if only 2 people read it, it would still be "LEGEN------ihopeyou'renotlactoseintolerantbecausethenextwordis...DAIRY" (As Bunny from How I Met Your Mother would put it). I am DAMN good at make up (not to toot my own horn but really I am) and I will concentrate on starting something around that. These are just two of my gifts.

What are your gifts? What makes heart smile? What makes you giddy? Ponder on it and start something. Don't live in a world of "cant". Just because someone else couldn't doesn't mean you also can't. Pink said it best 'make the voices in your head like you instead' 'you gotta get up and try and try and try'. Don't let yourself die without having lived to the fullest. We do this together? Lets keep each other accountable.

COMING UP NEEEXT... WEIGHT GOALS! Its time to get back into it. We start something FOR HEALTH AND EXERCISING OUR GIFTS.

Love yourself because wherever you go, there you are
