So I woke up this morning....

…with a feeling of excitement, confidence almost an assurance if you will, that I know something amazing will happen in my life. Haven’t had that feeling in a long time, so for now I am going to go with it and watch out for opportunities coming my way. This feeling could not have come at a better time, the past few weeks have been rough to say the least. So this positive injection is a godsend! I have a few great things to look forward to…I’ll begin my move into my flat next week, I have a blank canvas to furnish, that’s been a fun project I have been working on, I’m also hoping to convince my mom to host Christmas at mine. I have a wonderful summer to look forward to in Cape Town, with the beaches, picnics, outdoor concerts, wine farms and events happening, I will be spoiled for choice. Even though I’m not seeing anyone right now, I’m in a good space and will enjoy all I’ve achieved for myself, because I know, the best is yet to come, so my affirmation to myself right now is – I am destined for great things! Might sound cheesy, but it’s completely true. Even in your darkest times, don’t give up, keep the faith and remember everything happens for a reason J

Peace and love x

Friendship...spent a lot of this month having lots of fun, laughs, chats and creating memories. I'm really grateful for friendships, having the confidence of knowing you can confide in someone who knows what you feeling and someone you can truly be yourself around. Here's to many more happy years to come!

Heartbreaks...

I finally feel at a comfortable, content, almost happy place in my life, I have had an insane year. Although I may not be exactly where I want to be in my life or have the things I want, emotionally I am accepting that, and still pushing forward to achieve what I have set out for myself. I know what I want and am working towards it.

I’m almost proud of myself for coming this far and still able to smile and appreciate life, even though life has certainly been a bit unkind to me recently, but its ok. This is my life and I intend on making the most of it and enjoying it to the fullest.

I do not regret my decisions at all, it was difficult going through my divorce but it was the right thing for me and my marriage at the time. Some people might judge and that’s their opinions and thoughts, it does not matter to me what they think, for they have not been through what I have been through. Some people are too weak to actually stand up and make brave choices for themselves and so continue living a life of falsehood. I could not do that to myself and know I deserve better, and so far it has been.

Don’t get me wrong, I do not regret getting married. I loved him and we were together for 10 years before we decided to get married. We have so much history and he will always be part of me, but I am happy to be moving on, and one day I do hope to marry again.

My journey thus far has not been an easy one (for about a year now) but every day it gets better and I become stronger and wiser. With the help of my friends and family I remain positive and am happy to share my experiences with people, because no-one should go through emotional stress alone! For now and each day that comes I just say thank you God for giving me another day :-)

Peace and Love xx

My Faith in God. I think it is fair to say I had a rough couple of months if not year; I experienced ALOT of changes, some good and some… not so good. I had to make some painful decisions, went through surgery and moved country to start my life over, to name a few.

During my trials, times of uncertainty even my tribulations, I always have God to turn to. I am not a perfect Christian but I am so grateful for everything he has done for me, given me the answers I needed when making difficult decisions, strength to face each day, I am becoming wiser and learning to trust Him.

So I thank God for allowing me to experience all the good and all the bad in my life, those experiences are part of me, they do not define me. It is easy to quit, it takes faith to go through.

Always have faith... "And He told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart – Luke 18:1"

Bubble Baths

I love taking long bubble baths sometimes with a glass of bubbly. I've had some great thinking sessions, ideas and made some of the best decisions of my life whilst relaxing in a bubble bath.

There's something so soothing that helps you think so clearly and logically, unlike when one is not in a relaxing bath...I could rule a Country from a bubble bath..

My health! I'm thankful Im healthy physically and mentally and if I ever did need support, I know I have amazing family members and friends who will be there for me no matter what, because they know I'd do the same in a happy healthy heart beat xx
