About



I' no writer, just a girl from a dusty village who believes in sharing struggles, victories, hope and life's experiences to reflect and learn from them. I grew up in a one of the poorest village in South Africa, Nkandla. My parents could provide for me, so fortunately I wasn't poor. I did suffer from a lot of emotional and personal struggles growing up. Nothing traumatic! I'm finally breaking out of my shell and embracing my background as the biggest shaper of my future. During the blogging process, I am hoping gain deeper meaning of life and my purpose. I've got a lot on my mind both boring and exciting, this is just my way of offloading some of the things. To set things straight though, I don't have a fancy life, I'm blogging from a phone not an iPad lol, very simple but fun (in my own terms).

There are a lot of girls like me out there, we can share experiences and insights; we can learn a lot from each other; Motivate and encourage each other...

Finding Strength Within: A Young Mother's Journey of Self-Acceptance

Image
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? When I became a mother at the young age of 19, I was filled with doubts and uncertainty. I couldn't help but question whether I was capable of raising my son. Little did I know that the support system I needed was already there, waiting to reveal itself. Looking back on my journey, I now realize that I was always enough for my son, and the love and care of my family were more than sufficient to shape his life. The Doubts and Struggles of a Young Mother: Becoming a mother at 19 was not part of my plan. As I held my newborn son in my arms, waves of self-doubt crashed over me. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was lacking something crucial—a second parent figure to provide the stability and guidance my son needed. Society's expectations weighed heavily on my young shoulders, making me question if I would ever be enough for my child. The Existing Support Structure: What I failed to realize at the time was that I was not alone i...

Loved me back to life

When you are a young mom and someone tells you that you are damaged goods and will never find love again, it breaks your spirit. Even though you know not to believe such stupidity, it sticks with you. It becomes evident when a seemingly good guy approaches you; you don't want to believe what they say, no matter how genuine it seems. Accepting the good things they say  requires you to confront your inequities and open up to them and and that's risky. What if you get hurt again?  You know you can't afford to be hurt again because you need your strength for 2 people now, you and your child. These are the thoughts that come to your mind. And you just dismiss all efforts they make to get your attention. I know of people who totally give up on the idea of bieng in a relationship due to the terrible experiences they had from their toxic relationships. The emotional hurt leaves invisible scars that are only visible through fear of opening up to feel again.  I believe God send...

Leaving Stuff Behind- Healing Your Soul Series

Image
Two years ago I had to move to Durban, after I spent 10 years of my career life in Pretoria. I had arrived in Pretoria with only a medium suitcase and a small bag of clothes, and you can imagine how much stuff I accumulated over the years. I had bought an apartment, cars, furniture, appliances, dishes and lots of clothing. Being an independent lady that I am, I mostly planned my voyage alone, didn't share or ask for advise because I thought I had it all handled. I  hired a trailer  and I remember feeling proud that I had thought of that idea, because I was going to save a lot of money on hiring movers. I  was positive that all my stuff would fit in that trailor. Boy was I wrong!! I could only fit one bed, one couch, washing machine and smaller items. I remember thinking I would need to courier some of the stuff but soon realised it would be too expensive. I  had no choice but to do a painful exercise of deciding which of my hard earned possessions to leave ...
