Allow me to introduce myself.

I have no amazing way to start this blog post so I'll start with... 

"Hello. How are you? I am fine thanks"

I know. Earth shattering.



I'm a young-ish single lady that lives in Johannesburg. It's been close to five years of living here and I am starting to feel like I can call this city my home away from home. I moved here from a little city called East London in the Eastern Cape . I was born in an even smaller town called Mthatha. Some of the greatest South African legends come from there and the rest from my homestead Cofimvaba. I think it would be tacky to mention that my hero and a man with a beautiful mind Tat'Thabo Mbeki (Dutywa which is a stone throw away) & the world's hero Tat'Rholihlahla Mandela were born (Qunu which is also a stone throw away) in Mthatha because that would be name dropping. (When we had the land - there were lots of stones to throw.. I couldn't resist that one...lol)

I'm not sure what point I was trying to make above but whatever. 

When I moved to Joburg I thought it was all going to be sunshine and roses. Well, the sun shines here a lot and there's a place called Rosebank and that's as far as it goes. A post on this will follow.

I am now only starting to find my feet. I am now in a position to chase my dreams, passions, find my purpose & live my calling. 



This year, I turn 33. This is a magical number for me. The number 3 has always been my favourite and two of those numbers together! I DIE. This is not the year that I die but it's definitely a year that I will realise many of my dreams which have turned into goals. Blogging being one. 

I work in corporate South Africa & am also studying towards my first degree. Again, that is a story for another day.

I used to have a blog about seven million moons ago called Lard Buster! I was young, don't judge the name. This was a weight loss blog. Did I lose the weight? Nope. I lost a little and then I gained it back plus VAT and then I lost a little. I've lost count.

I don't know if I can fully paint a picture of who I am in one blog post. I think it would box me and honestly, most times I surprise myself daily with myself. I guess we'll discover myself together. 

This is a passion project and cannot guarantee that I will post something everyday or every week. When the creative juices strike so will I and post will strike you. I will endeavour to keep the posts short & not write a novel with each post. 

With all of that said...let's discover together, learn together, laugh together, keep this space as real as possible but also positive. We have many negative voices & faces in the world I choose to be a positive voice & face.

Cheers & let's live a little



Stellah.

So I'm 40 now...

 Dahlings. Almost two years with no word from me. Soz. I haven't been well. I'll unpack my "unwellness" in the next few posts. However.... "I'm back....bitches" I can't believe it. I actually forgot I had a whole blog. Life lifed the hell out of me and this week was the first week I realised that I genuinely am in a much better place. This is a result of many things that I have implemented into my life. With that said, I turned forty, two months and seven days ago.  I don't like it.  I'm appreciative of having been alive for so long. The last few years have taught me that life is precious and every day is a gift. HOWEVER, I don't feel like I should be 40. I feel like a 40 year old should have all "the things" in order by now and in the full swing of living.  To be blatant, I want(ed) kids. I hoped to be married. Now...I don't care to be married but kids is still a sore point for me. Maybe I can adopt kids but I would have lo...

Online Dating...the first installment

Dahlings It's been a while... Let me start by saying that I hate dating. Whenever I write a post about my dating life, please always remember and refer to the above statement. I have a friend of mine who once said "I wish we all had bar codes that only matches with your life partner. We will not waste each other's time, we will know immediately if it's the right person for us." How I wish that were the case. We are in the thick of COVID-19. I have been in lockdown for almost 4 weeks. I have had a lot of time to think and I've just woken to the realisation that I am 34. I don't feel bad about my age at all. I love the thirties. I feel like it's such a romantic age with myself. I'm digressing. This is not a post about the thirties. The reason why I decided to publish my age is that I always felt like I was 27 until I realised I was 34. You know what that means for us women....tick tock.... I was watching a clip of The View on YouTube ...

Sacrifice is necessary...

Dahlings Happy New Year! Or as us ndarkies would say "HEEEEEEEPPPPIIIIIIIIII" or even worse "Compliments of the new season" and even worserer than that "Compliments"(I wanna die when I hear this). Anywho... Like many people I have been reflecting on 2018 and to be blatantly honest with you I have been very hard on myself. I hit quite a lot of the milestones I set for myself (an exciting blog post on this will follow on the next episode...feeling the suspense yet?) and when I should be completely proud of myself, I found myself comparing myself to others. Now don't get me wrong, I am hella excited for all the things my people have accomplished. I generally (thank goodness) am not a jealous person so we can strike that off the list. However, comparison creeps in now and again. I like to let this motivate me to also achieve greater things. I have a circle of people around me who are such go-getters and high achievers. I am very grateful for that. ...
