The day started out like any other. There was one exception; my brother and sister were in charge and adamant that the rules below needed to be adhered to:

* No cellphones
* No talk about work
* No time checks
* Just be in the moment

We spent the day at Mangwanani Day Spa to unwind, relax and bond like siblings should. They also told me in no uncertain terms that I’m “way too serious and need to lighten up”.

I’m glad I listened…

At the end, my body, mind and spirit were completely rejuvenated and I was a happy camper.

Every. Single. Moment. Was. Treasured.

It’s important to step away from the rat race of life and be good to yourself.

I hope you will choose to make time for YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to read.

As you prepare to embrace the last week of August, I hope you choose to be:

Bold

Committed

Resolute

Responsible

And more than anything, I hope you will choose to hold onto and have the courage of your convictions.

Let no person(s) derail you from your Divine purpose. Every single promise that God has in store will manifest as and when it should.

When you take a moment to be still, the silent whispers from your heart will remind you of your life’s purpose. Listen.

Discernment.

Obedience.

Don’t be afraid to let go of anything or anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsettled. Divine connections bring peace. Point. Blank. Period.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Truly

Madly

Deeply

Grateful…

For everyone in my life & those I’ve encountered (and yet to meet).

For every experience – both good and those designed to teach & help me grow.

I could never articulate how much my heart is smiling. Right. Now.

His grace & unconditional love changes things in a blink.

I look forward to an extraordinary year ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

I woke up feeling very emo. Not sad. Rather more thankful.

With another birthday just hours away I’m deeply grateful for the gift of life; and God’s grace showered upon me daily.

I jotted down a few things – that have shaped my journey – in my Gratitude Journal earlier and thought I’d share a few with you.

* Parents – need I say more

* Brother & sister – for keeping me grounded, the fights, laughs and memories over the years

* Cousins – they are an extension of my siblings

* Friends – for letting me be me and creating a safety net when I need it

* Nature – whether it’s soaking up the sun, feeling rain drops on my cheeks or the wind blowing through my hair

* Courage – to walk away from toxic situations & people

* Hindsight – go figure!

* Hugs – whether it’s to express appreciation or a sign of comfort and support

* Voice notes – from the special, little people in my space especially Eli and Leah

* Flowers – to remind that it’s really all about the simple things in life… that’s what makes me happy

* Chocolate – because… which woman can live without these comforting cubes?

* Books – when I need to escape nothing comes close to turning the pages of a good read

* Heartache – you haven’t lived till you’ve had your heart smashed into splinters and then for time to heal and make you whole again

* The future – I know this next chapter of my life is going to make everything else pale in comparison. That what God has in store for me no eye has seen or ear heard…

For every single moment I get to open my eyes & am blessed to declare that I’m ALIVE, my heart flows with gratitude.

P.S my birthday wish is: that YOU will live authentically & find fulfillment in every experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

That made the difference…

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The Game of Life

These words struck a cord and I had to share it with you….

Interdimensional Creativity

Playing. Expressing freely. All love, limitless infinity.

Unity consciousness. Forever expanding circle. Boundless.

Creatively expressing. Entertaining new possibilities.

Being openly vulnerable. Surrendering peacefully.

Being aware of it All. Appreciating perspectives and choosing what feels right.

Knowing All is well because Truth was always within.

Take it all because you can!

As you prepare to ride the wave of life this week, I hope that you will trust the process even though you don’t understand it.

I hope that you will open your heart and be receptive to receiving every good thing coming your way.

I hope that you will find the nerve to pick up the phone and make that call, send that text or email.

I hope that you will choose to learn the lesson and grow as opposed to wallowing in self-pity or any other toxic behaviour.

I hope that you will find the strength to say “I’m sorry, I forgive you” and continue to move on… walking in perfect peace as you should.

I hope that you will continue to give of your best (even if it appears that your efforts are not acknowledged or appreciated) for one day you shall reap the rewards.

I hope that when it comes down to the wire, that you will choose kindness, compassion and love. Always!

Thank you for taking the time to read.

I don’t mind waiting…

This post came about as a result of me watching Manchester United in action. The boys in red bring out the best and worst in me.

That’s *my* team and I am prone to coaching from the couch. After a brief scream from having witnessed a missed goal, I then wondered about my future husband and wondered about him…

Dear Future Husband,

I must concede from the get go that I can’t wait for that moment when I finally get to say, wow, this was so worth the wait.

You see, through all the tears and frustration of “waiting”, I know that our union is more than the happy ever after chapter. Our union is more than having a significant other, the exchange and expression of true love and memories created; we have a Divine purpose to fulfill.

That Divine plan can only unfold and be realised through grace, open hearts, unwavering faith and a deep commitment to walk boldly and in complete obedience. I know that we have much to do as individuals and as a couple; and that thought excites me.

Have I mentioned that I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you?!

I pray for you daily and smile with appreciation at the fact that God has you secured safely in the palm of His hand; waiting for that perfect time.

I often wonder whether we’ve met before…
I often wonder if you’re the one that I’ve been secretly crushing on.
I often wonder if you’re the one that I met on that overcast day in that hospital ward – no words exchanged just a look that spoke volumes, sent my pulse and heart rate to the moon and left me at a complete loss for words.

I guess only time will tell…

And so my love, as I return to the second half of this Manchester United game, I know that our forever is going to be worth the wait.

Till then I hope that you too will keep the faith.

Your one & only,
Future Wife
