End of the year...

Dahlings

How are you? I'm fine thanks.

The end of the year has literally snuck up on me. I did not expect it at all. AT ALL. I still can't believe that when I write the date tomorrow it will be 01/12/2018. If time sprints as quickly as it has been then day after tomorrow I will be writing 01/01/2019.

Yup, it's Friday night and I'm home alone. I am still at war within myself because I feel like I should be out there playing with other kids, making the pots to happen and meeting new people, etc. The plans I had were cancelled and I said "Thank you Lord" because I LOVE being home on a Friday night. I feel like I can really decompress from the hectic week.
But I digress....

Have you ever felt like change is happening atmospherically but in the physical realm nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is happening. I've been feeling for quite some time that I need to prepare myself for big changes. I feel like the changes are gonna be everywhere. Big changes. Good changes.
As a result of this I have decided to not go home this year because I feel like I need to save money and invest it in other things that need to help facilitate the changes. I mean I get it, I probably sound like a loop that needs to be committed. If I were you, I'd get me committed too. But don't, not yet. Give it time. I promise it'll manifest.


I'm tired. So very very tired. I thought I'd be chilling around this time. No worries, no drama. I thought I'd be a slothy sloth that's watching a bunch of series. It's been a long and hard year. #FirstWorldProblems. Oprah said "the definition of luck is where preparation meets opportunity". I'm doing that.

I was also not emotionally prepared for the 10-12 hour drive back home. I love road trips but not today Satan, not today.

Let's give this last month our best shot. Eminem once said "you only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

Later

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...
