The stranger within

I read a quote on some positive affirmation page last night that said "They want you to be good but they don't want you to be better than them" And I thought, who are they and why should I care? Your vibe attracts your tribe and if you're constantly in competition with other people around you, they'll be in competition with you. There's a difference between being in competition with the people around you and people motivating you to be & do better. The only person we should be in competition with, is the version of ourselves we were yesterday. So take a breath, there's enough light out there for everyone to shine! And if you can't find the light, BE the DAMN light! Namaste woke folk!  👊

Every day, something happens that I want to tell you about.... And yet every day it all seems so insignificant.... I sometimes wonder.... Do you remember me, the way I remember you? Do you think of me when I think of you? Is love the question or Is love the answer? But mom,I should tell you now.... With all questions asked That are never answered I just don't know what to do with "I love you"

For someone that has gone thru my fair share of loss and grief, one thing that I believe to be true is that grief is grief and loss is loss. The loss of my cat is no less an emotion than that of your breakup. A loss of a brother is no less than that of a parent or a child. Loss is loss. Let's stop trying to put an amount on pain, it's not a competition! Understand that you can't understand the pain the other person is going through because; we all experience pain and deal with it, in our own way. 

Let’s get right into it....I don’t write travel blogs but Facebook came up with this new blog looking notes section, so I thought I’d give it a shot! (to be later copied to my actual blog) We didn’t get to see everything we wanted to but we got to check out most things. We hired a car, got the GPS to direct us around in English and just ventured about. Day 1 We took a little drive to Kadir’s Tree Houses in Olympia. This was a 2.5hr drive from our hotel in Lara but well worth the trip. We all took our shoes off and immediately chilled in a half tree house and had the best beer ever! I’m saying Bomonti, my travel mates will say Amsterdam. Why should this be on your list of places to check out in Antalya....well because it’s on the list of the most unusual hotels in the world. http://www.unusualhotelsoftheworld.com/... We didn’t want to leave...and neither will you :)  Day 2 Our day started at 5:30am wake up for a 6:30am pick up..... this w...

The below list is not in order of priority, they are all equally important to me :) Happy reading! Start every day with a grateful heart  -  nothing will give you as much joy as being thankful for what you already have instead of being miserable thinking about what you don't have. Gratitude is the doorway to bringing abundance into your life. Don't compare yourself to others  -  we're all on our own journey in this life and each responsible for that life. Live it by just doing you. Do you to the best of your ability. You do you and I'll do me ;) Don't hold on to the hurt of a past relationship for too long  -  hold on long enough and you'll hold on just to ruin any potential relationship. Cry until your tears dry but don't cry too long. Every relationship is allotted  only  so many tears before you have to put on your big girl pants and move on. Remember that you are born a complete person. You don't need anyone to complete you. And when ...

I know that many people use the term "Back to life, Back to reality" when they return from a    vacation. I am one of them! Going to Ulpotha had the exact opposite effect on me this vacation around... On arrival I was transported back to my childhood. I walked into Kade Hut (breakfast hut) and the smell of the coal fire reminded me of trips we used to take to the Free State to visit my granny. The smell reminded me of early morning family breakfast in that big old kitchen. It smelt like home  Kade Hut Taking a trip with a crazy best friend, meant the arrival was slightly blurry due to too much bubbly in-flight but that didn't stop that childhood memory from seeping into my consciousness. We were shown to our mud hut by the lovely retreat manager Suzi. ( Btw, she reminds me so much of my Aunt Lydia (Lala) that I had even more child likeness resonate with me during the stay.)  The first 2 days were a blur. It's amazing how much sleep o...
