Being I believe is the ultimate sense of peace that one can have. For a mom of four, just being a mom, just being a wife or just being a colleague or an employee for me means to be myself and to do it with self confidence. We all know that our daily lives areContinue reading “Just Being….”

In this past month I have come to learn what family and friends can mean to me. Even if I’m still trying to let people in…. Still struggling with that. Just don’t trust people anymore. Why? you may ask. Well, because of the past. Someone always tries to hurt the other one, even if theyContinue reading “Gratitude (Day 5 – 29)”

So, I skipped two days of writing, because being a teacher takes most of the day and there are only so many hours in a day. Just decided I can “mos”multitask man. “het dit jou solank gevat net om dit uit te dink”, would my husband say to me with a smile. Oh well, ratherContinue reading “Gratitude (Day 3 & 4)”

I’m grateful for the food on my table tonight, the family around me and the laughs we shared today. Now, getting into the feeling of gratitude is already a bit challenging for me and I know why. By nature I think ahead. Always. I don’t like surprises. Don’t want to be caught off guard. So,Continue reading “Gratitude (Day 2)”

During this lock down I kept seeing people posting blocks on social media with regard to the lock down. I was pondering what to write about as I have more free time on my hands.

So, as you can see I titled this piece Untitled”. Why you ask? Well, maybe because I have no clue as to what I want to write about…. No, seriously I have not the faintest idea. Therefor, let’s do a little experiment. Calling it “free writing”. With no preparation and no rough draft to workContinue reading “Untitled”

Dis nou maar eenmaal so, as die tyd van die jaar aan gebreek het is ‘n mens nie meer lus vir werk nie. Geen lus ook meer vir enige tipe drama nie. Ek soek my mense om my en bene in die lug langs n swembad of die see met n glasie in die hand.Continue reading “Feesseisoen”

Hallo almal! Ek weet, dis omtrent twee naweke terug wat ek laas iets geskyf het… “life goes on”. Maar nie te min. Maak nou nie saak hoe besig ek is nie, moes net vanaand bietjie skryf. ‘n Hele paar dae het verby gegaan en dit was net die normale dinge. Werk, kerk, skool en huis,Continue reading “Nuwe begin….”

So…. you too sang the tune in your head while reading the heading. Cannot get this song out of my head the last two days. Pops up no matter what I’m busy with. Then it got me thinking. What does these words mean for me. I am a bitch – when it comes to myContinue reading “I’m a bitch, I’m a mother, I’m a child, I’m a lover, I’m a sinner I’m insane, I do not feel a shame….”

The love for art started at a young age. Early memories of where it all began was in Miss Nina’s class in kindergarten at my first and only primary school, Van Rhyn Primary School. You know, when I was growing up, the primary schools themselves had their own kindergarten classes that was part of theContinue reading “Pinteresting!!”

This is the way we ended off the day today. Having some fun in the sun. Well, semi-sun. Little bit overcast with the wind blowing, but this is our fun in the sun for the day. This morning at 09:00 I only got out of bed. Still a bit sick and still on the prescribedContinue reading “Having fun in the sun”
