Happy Monday! Can you feel the Dezember vibes around the corner? I personally cannot wait to go on holiday and just rest. Today on Inspire Monday I want to talk about being set apart and what it fully means. We are nearing the end of the year and I hope we have reached most if not all of our goals. I know that the habit going forward is doing just enough to make it to the end of the year. I want to encourage you to do more than that, to not give up or in, push harder like it’s still the beginning of the year and you still have…

Cheering others on
“What I love about you the last few months is that you set your goals and then mission for it…You’ve got people rooting for you.” This was a message from a dear friend of mine after I sent a voice note venting about whatever was vexing me at that moment. What I loved about it was that it was not only inspiring but a confirmation that I have the right circle of friends. Recently I saw another friend posting on Facebook about how womyn do support each other it just depends on us to surround ourselves with the right kind of friends. This got me thinking about the people who…

Stop Waiting For Better Days in order to be Great!
Molweni! , confession time I have missed posting but I had to take a much-needed break but more on that later this week, I am now refreshed, re energized and ready to own this week. I thought for my first inspiration for September let’s get real about our motivation and staying productive for the last quarter of the year. I am always seeking to empower, motivate and entertain my audience and so when I saw this quote I knew it had to be our Inspire Monday. Too often we want to dress right, feel a certain way and have our ducks in a row before we own the day yet…

Choose day-The Power of choice ( A guide to Intentional living)
Intentional living-A lifestyle based on a conscious decision by an individual or group to live according to their values and beliefs. Hey there amazing humans, what a busy month August has been. If you are a loyal reader you would have noticed I have been posting less often, that’s cause my day job has been challenging but enjoyable. I thought as I get back to my normal manageable routine let’s start with some inspiration ( the world always needs a bit of that). I chose today instead of my usual Monday as I want to talk about #chooseday. If you are like me you have probably used this hashtag quite…

How do people feel around you?
Hey there, as you may know I suffer from anxiety and depression. I’m really blessed to have friends who go through the motions with me, in the midst of my anxiety attack if they cannot be physically there they will call and sit through it with me. This reminded me of one of my favorite quotes by the legendary Maya Angelou. I am huge believer of introspection so this is really important to me. Not only is it paramount for us to cut off people who no longer serves us , people who are energy draining but what happens when we are those people? Ask yourself do people diminish their…

Soaring through your storm
I have a love hate relationship with hawks ( They are beautiful birds except when they hunting our chicks at home). In fact I am fascinated by birds of prey in general. So whenever I see one I will stop what I am doing just to admire them. They are particularly majestic (nerd alert) when its really windy, they saor for longer periods. They glide during normal weather but when its windy my goodness do they use this weather to their advantage, I mean they really show off. One particular day the wind was being extra and I really didn’t feel like going to work but a hawk caught my…

Hey there, can you believe we are halfway through the year? Can you even remember your new year’s resolutions or your goals?

The people who have been putting in the effort but the reward has not yet materialised and you are at breaking point. So dear reader it’s time to reassess and remind yourself why you do what you do, why you are chasing the goals you currently have. This quote is just the reminder we need, excellence is not achieved overnight. It is achieved by what we…

The Greatest love story….Between You and God
Hi there, before I start is it me or has the year flown by? Still so much to accomplish and it seems like so little time (Sigh!). Today for my #InspireMondays I want to talk about a quote by Yasmin Mogahed, that just spoke directly to my soul. How wonderful is this quote that it says that Everything is aimed to bring us back to God our creator, who is love. Whatever you are going through remember it is part of the love story. I recently went through a trying time and instead of praying my fearful prayers I declared victory and asked God what is the lesson I am meant…

Be Brave and Let It Go
For today’s #inspireMonday I would like you to get real with yourself, lying to ourselves serves absolutely no purpose. I am drawing inspiration from one of my favorite authors Paulo Coelho. What are you holding onto? Anger, disappointment? Old conversations, arguments or relationships that have passed their sell by date? The quote clearly states that it is not easy to let go (hence it requires bravery) but he says once you let go there is a reward: a new hello. A sort of trade, a beauty for your ashes. Dear reader I may not your pain, fears or reasons for holding on, but I do know holding on longer than…
