Don’t delay, don’t hesitate…

Don’t waste another moment.

Don’t miss an opportunity to show appreciation and love.

Don’t allow any negative interaction(s) to steal your peace and joy.

We lost a very special aunt earlier today. Our hearts are shattered and our minds are numb. In that moment when we received the news, it felt as though our collective world stood still.

The heartache was tangible and tears flowed freely like the Jordan. Whispers of: “Why? Why her? Why now? It’s not fair…” could be heard.

As someone who always has a Plan A and B, I found myself unable to move or even utter a word. Glued to my seat.

I find myself moving through different emotions.

Confused.

Angry.

Incredibly sad.

Losing an amazing person who played a significant part in your childhood is a bitter pill to swallow. The thought of not hearing that hearty laugh or seeing her Colgate smile is hard to digest.

It just seems unfair.

I’m thankful for the times we shared, the fond memories and advice she so eagerly dispensed. I know without a doubt she’s in Heaven and God has certainly welcomed her home with open arms.

For the rest of us, we need oceans of grace to keep going without her. One day at a time…

Thank you for taking the time to read.

P.S Love and appreciate those near and dear to you!

It’s no secret that I’m a news junkie. Even though I left the world of newspapers and copious amounts of coffee some time back, I still get my fair dose of deadline fixes in my current role.

Friday’s are meant to be chilled out and many are usually starting to zone out in preparation for the weekend ahead. Not on my side.

It’s go-go-go from the moment my alarm clock sounds until my day ends; and that time varies.

What is it about deadlines that keep me wanting more?

Douglas Adams said it best: “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

For me, each deadline is like starting a race. Ready. Steady. Go… Some of my best work has been produced during those adrenaline pumping times.

Those who know me know that one of my pet peeves is missing a deadline. Granted, there will be instances where a deadline is missed, and we should leave way for a degree of flexibility, but for the most part if you’ve committed to something then get your game plan together and get moving.

A missed deadline = an exception and not the norm.

And on that note, let me prepare for my next deadline.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

Stay favoured and fabulous x
