So there's that...

Dahlings

Hi, how are you? I'm fine thanks.

Tomorrow & Wednesday I write Business Maths & Accounting. I'm flipping out but not really flipping out. I'm feeling confident that I will pass these exams. I am not too confident that I will get distinctions and that is what I am aiming for. So there's that...

I had so many plans this year; I wanted to vlog & blog more consistently. I wanted to save money. I wanted to take my fitness to another level, read books, become more vegan, recycle more, lose weight, save puppies, eat spinach, climb Kilimanjaro, become Beyonce and invent water. Essentially, I wanted to become a mix between, Oprah, Mother Theresa, Yvonne Orji, Casey Neistat and Sarah's Day. That didn't happen. So there's that...

I'm still single. So there's that....

I still haven't lost any weight. So there's that....

I don't know what my point is here but I am realising that I have a little over 2 months to make money moves.

I guess the lesson here is that there's always time to re-prioritise and see what can be achieved. I'm a proper project manager. I love it when a plan comes together. Sometimes though, life happens as we make our plans and we have to be agile I guess.

Did I mention that I am running a 10k in the next two weeks? I realised this on Thursday. So I started preparing myself by going on a 6km walk. Now my chest is threatening bronchitis. What witchcraft is this? I'm so mad.

Work is also crazy. We're working on a project that has to be delivered in two years whereas a similar project landed in 8 years with four times the amount of people. So there's that...

I love challenges.

Let's see how this week pans out.

Have a lovely one.

P.S. On my way to work today, I saw a horrific accident & I was reminded how life is so fleeting. This is why I want to make the best of each moment. Someone said that the aim of life is to get to the grave empty because you lived life properly.

Discipline or Procrastination...

...Is there a difference? Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. I went back to work and my blogging went too. Where to? Who. knows. Ok, I have a real problem with procrastinating. The problem is really real. I have soooo many ideas. I have so much I want to accomplish but I lack discipline. On Wednesday I was having a great conversation with an amazing person who is on the precipice of living his dreams. I've mentioned before that I seem to be surrounded by people who are focused on achieving in their lives. Out of 20 friends that I have (this is an e.g. I have waaaay more friends. JK), 13 of them have side hustles and they are KILLING it. Five of them have turned their side hustles into full on businesses and have left their 9-5's. I have equal opportunities to do this but guess what, I make every excuse under the sun to not go after my dreams. I have been challenged by my friend to tell him my vision so he can keep me accountable. You see, I unwittingly (...

Intermittent Fasting while Fasting

Say that five times fast! Dahlings How are you? I am fine thanks. So at the beginning of every year I do a Daniel Fast. I started this with my old church in East London probably about 9 years ago and have carried on even by myself (and another friend) in Joburg. Every year I have been stricter than the last e.g. the first time I fasted I probably lasted for an hour, the next year I last an hour and three minutes, the next a whole week - see the pattern? As the years have gone by though I have found the benefits of fasting to be much more satisfactory than my constant need for chicken. It's day two and usually the first week is the easiest for me but it's been hella hard this time. I pray it does not incrementally get worse. This year though I am determined to really make sure that I level up the Spiritual connection with God. Even though today I forgot because as soon as I got home from work I got stuck into my usual routine. I recognise that out of 52 weeks of the ye...

Moving to Johannesburg

..and making it in Johannesburg Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. Over the weekend I was driving somewhere. I can't remember where to but I was driving on William Nicol and it was evening time. You see, whenever I drive in the evening and there are lots of cars and lights and activity I get excited. When I moved here I was so freaking excited. Every small thing excites me about this place - almost. The crime doesn't excite me. The crazy levels of anxiety from life here doesn't excite me. BUT the possibilities here excite me so friggin much! Sorry, I'm digressing a little. As I mentioned, when I moved here I was so excited. I just new that this was the place I am meant to be. I always thought that I would live here for a couple of years and then move to New York. It's been about six years but I can't see myself living anywhere else yet (maybe I need to travel to NY before I make such a bold statement). I also used to tell people in East London th...
