Be Like A Flamingo

I’ve always loved flamingos. Their brightness has always appealed to me. To me, flamingos connote beauty, grace and balance. (I’m talking about the flamingo birds that wade in water, not the plastic ones that one finds in stereotypical American front yards).

Thought For The Day- Pretty Pinterest

Hello lovely people.

I’m officially on holiday… Which is just delightful. I do however have plenty of work and planning to do. It’s a chilly weekend in PE so I have spent some time today wrapped up in a blanket and on Pinterest (and not working!) I find Pinterest rather therapeutic. It’s great for my creativity and is a lot less messy than actually cutting out pictures and scrapbooking them.

You are welcome to have a peek at my boards on Pinterest.

It’s How You Say It.

It’s not what you say it’s how you say it!

Nina Millin is performing Beyoncé Knowles’s record winning songs as monologues. Although they are funny to watch, they are such a good reminder that how way we say things can totally change the way it is received.

A Victory Laurel


I have been contemplating this for two years; two whole years of ‘should I or shouldn’t I. If I do, what will people say? Do I care what people say? What are my motives? Can I imagine myself still being happy with this decision in 40 years time?’

Thought For The Day 3

A dear friend of mine arrived at my home last night armed with this delish Cab Sav. The name, Petit, meaning ‘little’ in French. This reminded me of the Shakespeare quote, ” Though she be but little, she is fierce”

We had such a lovely time sharing stories over a glass and a plate of spicy chilli con carne.

It’s so important to have quality friends who walk with you through ALL the journeys in life.

Thought for the day

Life isn’t always perfect… It isn’t just filled with cupcakes and confetti. It’s sometimes hard and painful. This picture I found on Pinterest says it beautifully.

Take your life. Have a good hard look at it… and LOVE IT! No matter what.

2014 – A New Thing!


10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1

HAAAAAPPPPPPPYYYY NEWWWWWW YEEEEEARRRRRRR!!!

However you saw the new year in, whether it was in your sleep (if you have young kids you are forgiven, if not, lame!) at a raucous party, at an intimate braai (barbecue), at church or in a little town in the Karoo in South Africa with weather so hot, but still around a bonfire with a group of people armed with champagne and chocolate (which is what I did), I really hope this is a great year for you! I know that every year has its challenges but this past one seemed to be an exceptionally challenging one! (Perhaps it comes with the territory of getting older?!) But…. I also had some great experiences and achievements too, which included:

Running Solo

Today I went for my first run on MY OWN since my attack. The last time I did that was a few hours before we were kidnapped! Such a sense of accomplishment! I was armed with a glass water bottle and pepperspray both ready to be used as weapons!
