Today I have something to offer

 











If I ever make a contribution in this life it has to be making people feel better in some way, and for me presence is always a great gift on its own. Being present…

Today I would likes to put a thought out there, and it is spelt as follows: I have something to offer!

Some people naturally love to give gifts; they always find reasons to do it without any struggle. And some people are more of receivers, not that they are bad people but its just not part of the tradition, or they think they cannot afford to. In most case when people think giving the second thought that comes to play is money. We mostly think of gifts to be tangible and i find this notion limiting. Money is one of the sources of giving but it is not the main, it is not the only channel to warming a heart.

Making a moment better is making a life better. I delight in people’s joy because at some point I felt the absence of joy, so I understand the value of playing part. Let us think of things to offer this day, tomorrow or this week, keeping in mind it’s the intension that counts. Common phrase “it’s the thought that counts”.

We can think about the people around us, our friends, our family, colleagues, neighbours, strangers or literally the first person that just played in your mind. Would spending more time with them be a good gift at the moment? Would giving an ear and/ or a hug be a good gift? Would sending a text “I see you/ I appreciate/ you got this” be a good gift this day? Would even just offering an apology be a much meaningful gift to ever be offered this week? I believe you just thought of a suitable gift to offer to the first person that came to mind. Just to add another thought: it is a greatest gesture to do stuff for people we don’t know too. As for good things, we don’t do them only when deserved but we do them because that is what matters.

In conclusion we all have something to offer, so let us give something this week and warm a heart. When we warm a heart we also warm our own hearts.

Life is as easy as we make our thoughts to be. - M Jiyane

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...
