It is better to practise a little than to talk a lot

Take the first step and make amends (you'll realise it's not so hard)

Stop being angry at her / him and laugh about it (its more fun that way)

Love with every fibre, gene, molecule, liquid and muscle that is you (its best route to happiness)

Just when you think “no”, do it! (it'll be worth it)

Spend your last bit of cash on those shoes (you’ll be broke but you’ll look fabulous!)

Say hi to the person you have not greeted for the past 3 years (you think about it anyway)

Send that text (set yourself free)

You think it’s crazy? Then do it (the opportunity is there for a reason after all)

Point is; you do not have a spare life tucked somewhere in your wardrobe so that when you die someone can quickly run and get it so that you can live again. Don't talk about it just do it ;)

Live a little

"life is about moments that take your breath away" I heard in a movie and strongly agreed!  Its my birthday weekend and these have been the best moments of my life, they truly take my breath away.  If I would die right now I would be able to paint my masterpiece and be proud of it.... What I am getting to is that live your life, there's just one chance, make the best of it and make sure you spend it people that matter, well... even if they don't matter, make sure the memories made with them matter and bring a smile to your lips.  THAT is the beauty of being young, wild and free.  

Signing out to live...

Thando!

Wedding cake in-the-middle-of-the road

February 27th 2011 was the day, round about 2 am they said.  February 26th 2011 was the last day I saw him, the day started off with a petty argument, progressed into a beautiful day filled with rhymes, his last performance, a perfect stroll hand in hand and as they say, the rest is history...  To love is some sort of miracle and to have lost is agonising. I loved like I have never been hurt and when I lost the pain was dreadful... it was intense and I died at the thought that it would last forever. He passed away, his forever came too soon and I was left wishing that it had at least been a wedding cake in-the-middle-of-the road scenario, I would soon be able to forget that kind of pain.

Thoughts about my unborn child

Child welcome to your new home, we call this place world.  I am your mother and hopefully I can say he is your father, nowadays they run baby so be grateful if you have a father.  My prayer for you is that you have come when I have planned you but either way I am overjoyed that you are here, I look at you and feel heavenly rapture, none could come close to the feeling you bring me.
Here you are with ten little fingers and ten little toes, my pride and joy.  You must know that you are the essence of me for you have made me a mother and allowed me to show off my womanhood.  Baby I will do all I can to shield you from the evils of this world, I will teach you how to live a life of integrity, a life where God is everything and from time to time I will remind you that I brought you into this world.  I plead with you my angel to always respect your father and I.  I look forward to raising you and guiding you as you grow my angel.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

In life comes a time when one cannot be honest with themselves.  I have told my share of subconscious lies because they comfort me.

• These are times I have told myself to smile when I really needed to cry
• Times I said I'm great whereas I was not
• Times I told myself that it's gonna be ok when I knew very well that I am screwed
• Times I told myself that I will make a way when I knew that I am out of options
• Times I said its done whereas I knew that  I am in a state of panic because I am stuck somewhere
• Times I told myself that I am so over it knowing very well that its been months of pondering about it
• Times when I said its fine and I really wanted to kick you where the sun doesn't shine
• Times when I have said its the right thing to do whereas I knew that it's killing every once of me to utter those words, I don't mean it.
• Times when I told myself that I forgive you knowing full well that I can't let go of it
• Times I have told myself that I am handling it when I knew that I was sinking FAST
• Times when I said I can't do it while I knew that I am just being lazy
• Times when I told myself that this too will pass when I knew that it wont, I am scarred for life

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself but lying to myself keeps me sane in most situations, so shoot me.
