Caution, Fear, Excitement, Wonder

Hello Beautifuls!! I hope you’ve had a fantastic week!! Today I had so many revelations I thought perhaps it fair to share. We are anxious of so much.. I read somewhere that anxiety is a product of not living in the present, which makes sense I guess. The following was my journey, Caution I saw, a girl, on the boat today, going on a snorkel safari in hope to see dolphins, she was so afraid but had decided to do this because her boyfriend had wanted to, they are young, and the love in its purity is beautiful. She reminded me that often times we push past our own fears to best support the ones we love.. she was sick the entire boat ride and when we stopped, I told her the sick feeling only gets better off the boat.. she felt better immediately when she got into the water. When you’re afraid, jump in. Throw caution to the wind. Excitement At lunch, as a Fortuna slowed down over the sandy road of Ponta, one of the little kids jumped on the back of the c

Culture, Tradition and In-laws

Hello Beautifuls So I’ve just gone through an experience that had me questioning everything.. so much so I had to put pen to paper.. The question of ideals.. let’s talk about my ideals.. For the longest time, I never wanted marriage, it was just something I never aspired to nor dreamt of.. even when lobola was paid, I didn’t get new dreams of a white wedding..

Fast forward to present day reality, I’m traditionally married and at each visit to the in-laws, find myself particularly taken aback.. and more of the inability to fit, the

Choose love..

So, in the past week, I had an opportunity to reflect on love and what it means to those around you, those you love, and most importantly, to yourself.. I came to a place that whispered that as much as I've adored Serena's wedding, and what I think was the courage it took for her to step out and choose love, in a world that could present anything but, she chose faith, which is love.. Brought me back to the reminder that, love cannot be given, if it doesn't exist within self.. you cannot give what you do not have.. and if fabricated, it eventually comes to light, that the dark creaks within you, require light.. to be seen.. cleaned out.. and repurposed for good.. before you can allow that space to belong to anyone else.. I'd like to share a story.. a little ago (also known as about 2 years ago since I last actively mountain biked), I cycled.. so much.. hundreds of kilometers on days at at a time.. this time in my life taught me many things, 1. When I sta
