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...

And Hello to the New (Year)!!! Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. Happy new year! I think I will wish you a happy new year every time I post until I'm over it. I hope it's good so far... Mine was OK until I literally nearly died from food poisoning yesterday. See what had happen was that I consumed yoghurt night before last. I had only eaten once during the day and found myself famished before I fell asleep and I knew that I would not be able to fall asleep and stay asleep if I was that hungry. In an effort to not eat anything heavy (because when I'm full I get sleep paralysis) I had yoghurt. I started bloating immediately and I thought this is my body saying I'm intolerant so I kept on eating knowing full well that I will not hear any pleasant sounds of farting during the night. Eventually when I stopped I realised that something was not right with this scene. I was far too bloated & was feeling nauseas. I thought 'eh I'll be fine tomorr...

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. ...
