What I learn from my children V

- August 03, 2011

When I look into the eyes of this little precious creation I just see total peace. Peace with every single thing and person around her. There is no questioning her own worth and when I show her, her little face in the mirror a big smile lights up her face and she totally adores the little face staring back at her. When I look at my two daughters and their total love for almost the whole Universe and everything in it, I wonder to myself when will their perceptions start getting warped? When will the glasses they view the world through start getting tainted.? I wonder to myself where did I loose it? And I guess it is inevitable that one day they too will get hurt by a mean action or a mean word or two, that will leave them a little broken. In my opinion your relationship with yourself is one of the most important relationship you will have in your life. No matter where you go in life you will never get rid of yourself and you will always take yo...

We were going to be on REALITY TV!!

- June 17, 2021

In just over 13 hours everything was set for 4 days of filming right here in our house. We were going to make our reality TV debut on a Dstv channel family swap show.

But we signed up for it all and we were all ready, anxious and set to go. There were so many calls, emails, preparations and plans. My poor INFJ personality was in a state of shock with all the talking over phones to strangers....

When my heart processes, it breaks.

Walking up and down the eerily silent corridor of a maternity ward in a state hospital my heart is in a continual algorithm of being ripped and then being put back again. We are drawn to the loud cries of a baby behind a hospital door. Processing the joy of new mommies receiving beautiful unexpected maternity packs makes my soul leap. Processing the pain of two mommies losing their babies and one little baby abandoned by his mommy makes my soul ache with grief, for him and for his mommy. A big part of her must have wanted to keep him as she went as far as enduring the pain of labour and delivery. Maybe this was her only way of giving her precious son a chance at living. "Little One", as your story becomes a police case and as your name goes into a system, may you know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. May goodness be the hallmark of your life. May peace protect your heart and may your story compel us to rip ourselves from the...
