I WILL GIVE ME A FLOWER TOO WHEN I AM NOT OKAY

 One day a friend of mine asked me a question, "how would you describe yourself"? Present, was my answer. Its in my nature to see through people.
When my people are hurting I automatically feel the need to make a difference. Some days I try, some days the only thing I can do is to be present.
While being there for people has always been a  natural act, it was harder for me to be there for me when I needed it the most. I was really struggling but I was impatient with me, I was hard and bad towards myself. I could be kind to other people but I couldn't do the same for me. Its so sad thinking about how mad I was at myself for struggling, though I never chose it for myself.

I found beauty in my struggle, giving people love and kindness at that point, taught me I have love and beauty within me. Since I have, I decided to experience the love and the beauty too. 
I am my own best friend today and I have stopped searching. Our response to life won't always be the same as other people's response to life. We were born to journey on different paths and to serve different needs.

Get yourself a flower too when you're not okay, but never stop getting others flowers when they are not okay. Whatever you do, do it with a humble heart.❤

Being physically, mentally and socially fit

 Staying healthy is about being physically, mentally and socially fit. I have been feeling extremely tired lately, everyone at work is huffing and puffing internally as we throw around the word "pushing" when we greet and pass by the corridors. At first i was convinced the pills am taking my body is now rejecting, i am now relieved it is what everyone is feeling and not my treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. One of these past days i woke up feeling super uncomfortable    my body was giving close to crippled bro. My reasoning behind this is most joints on my body are inflamed so my body is taking a hit. Health issues plus work can be a dead end.  Listen, I have seborrheic dermatitis, I always had it I just thought i just struggle with dandruff. I was totally unaware it’s a “skin health condition “. Now it’s on my face (foreheads , brows, side of my nose and chin) and chille… it is currently flaring, the itch is so uncomfortable. I need to visit a dermatologist very so...

A gruesome morning A courageous day

It is the night of the 11th of February i get into bed i set my alarm for 4am. An hour earlier than usual because i intend to clean my house before i go to work so that when i return i am only faced with laundry for a chore. I lay down and sleep, i wake up the Lord is still sustaining me. However, i feel close to crippled. My body screams 'today is so impossible!'  I get up regardless and decide to eat a bit so i can stomach the medication and give my body 30 more minutes of rest.  I usually refuse to take meds as prescribed; two to three times a day instead i take them once in the evening to avoid complete dependency on the medication. This morning is different and calls for desperate measures. It is 4;30 am i decide to make my bed and activate my plan. I do so as i give thanks to God and express my hurt at the same time. I obviously question when is the end ever coming. I give thanks again for all i have and am able to do. like hope, like resilience, like peace while i ackno...

Another way to explain my excitement

I am so excited that Mpoomy Ledwaba released a book. My girl did it! Now what’s left is for me to get my hands on it. My excitement comes from reflecting on when I started watching her YouTube videos, back when she first began on the red app. She has matured in business, relationships, and as an individual. It is inspiring and a reminder of my own potential for success. I am a girl’s girl, and I love to see girls grow and succeed. Another way to explain my excitement is that she’s the kind of person who reminds me of my own anointing. Story time So yesterday, I spent two hours in the presence of my Father, talking to Him and picking His brain. I felt so much inner peace and strength; I felt happy and liberated. I learned a lot from just three points, but I will mention two of these lessons summarized into quotes. Feel free to dissect them and interpret them as applicable to your own personal experiences. - When I am faced with a situation that tempts me to ask, “What is the point?” may...
