    You are in competition with no one

    February 18, 2019

    Happy Monday! I always believe that we need motivation and inspiration but more especially on Mondays. I think too often we are our own worst enemies, we need to check that behaviour and start a process of unlearning  and become our biggest cheerleaders. I then came across this quote by Ms Iyanla Vanzant. Too often we compare ourselves to the detriment of self. This is a learned behaviour starting from our parents comparing us to our friends or their friends children. Growing up we continue with this behaviour we compare ourselves to our peers often feeling like failures if we feel like we do not have what they have. This…

    February 4, 2019

    Hello, for our first inspire Monday of the year I  want to make sure that : after the mood, excitement of “New Year, new me” has worn off we are  still intentional in making our goals a reality Today’s post is about looking at all the excuses that are holding you back, doing away with them and just simply starting. You see dear reader it’s really important that we start with our goals right now, with what we have. Too often we are focused on what we do not have, waiting for things to all align, waiting for the fear to subside and we end up never starting and another year rolls…

    Why New Year’s resolutions are so 2018

    January 7, 2019

    “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.-Oprah Winfrey” Happy New Year family hope you are still lounging around poolside with the family and are still successfully evading adulting. Perhaps you are part of the unlucky few who are back at work and getting the last minute school stuff for the children. I thought for my first post for the year let’s get real about why resolutions are out of date. The definition of a resolution is that it’s a promise to self to do or not to do something. Some popular examples would be this year I will exercise more, I will save…

    Recount all the good

    November 19, 2018

      Hey there! as we are nearing the end of the year, it’s becoming harder to wake up cause our bodies are ready to sleep in with no alarm clocks and our brains are tired. That’s why I think there is no better time time than now to recount all the good that has happened this year. Too often we have a bad meeting, or one chaotic hour and then we say we had a bad day, so it is with our year. We might have had one or two things not go our way and we might incorrectly say 2018 wasn’t our year. That is why it is good…

    Be Set Apart

    October 22, 2018

    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

    October 8, 2018

    “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!

    September 17, 2018

    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…

    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?

    July 30, 2018

    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…

About This Site

Welcome to Sandys-place

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do” – Brene Brown

So you might have stumbled onto my blog or your one of my unlucky tribe members who were threatened with having no wine for a month in order to read this but here you are. I want to invite you into my space where I aim to take off my mask and stand in my truth and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

I hope it feels like we are girlfriends having a conversation over a glass of wine. Where we discuss Virginia Woolf, Chimamande Ngozi but also the latest brow trends, where certain posts will resonate with your inner most being or your funny bone. I commit myself to honest writing and all I ask is your time.

I hope this is the beginning of something magical.

Xoxo

Sandisiwe
