Writing It Randomly

May you live your purpose and may blessings abound. HAPPY NEW YEAR! PC: Facebook

Apparently, the solution to E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. Now, fight the urge to hurt me for being so corny and go build a bridge instead. Happy Valentine's Day!

Facing your circumstances (and yourself) head-on takes courage, but when courage is required, it doesn't mean that you should fear what's ahead. See it as a sign that whatever lies in front of you is filled with  possibility . Source: Facebook

Thank you! We'll keep reading if you keep writing.

Mentioning Halloween without mentioning Halloween  is just not possible. The film crowned Jamie Lee Curtis as The Scream Queen  and so far no one has knocked her off her pedestal yet. To me she is as synonymous to October as  that striped sweater or those masks . I get such a rush watching horror movies. Don't you?

Here's to everyone dealing with difficulties in their lives, but ESPECIALLY to our Breast Cancer fighters & survivors. You're an inspiration.

How infuriating! It's 2017. Something should have been done about gun violence by now. Instead, we woke up on Monday in the wake of the Las Vegas  mass shooting  and a rising Marikana  death toll . Many people are shocked and saddened. As a global spectator, I seem to have skipped right into the Anger Stage. I'm angry that hearts are breaking in grief. I'm angry that people still choose to hurt other people. And I'm angry that those in positions of authority with the power to initiate change are allowing this to happen in exchange for their gun-loving voters. PC: QuoteFancy

We meet people for a reason. Don't be so self-centered that you think it's all about you.

Have I mentioned the significance of September 1st yet? Well, in South Africa we celebrate it as the first day of Spring . And each year since 2013, my husband & I also celebrate our wedding anniversary on the same date (exactly two years before that, to the day, he asked me to marry him). It has less to do with Spring Time being synonymous with "the birds & the bees", and more to do with the fact that Franscois chose this date because he'll remember it easier than any other one. Four years this Friday. The poopies  & I are such lucky ladies! You can buy the original on Etsy .

For me, avoiding reality works best when turning a blind eye to the serious news on social media. With all the Trump & Zuma news reports coming at me, I feel like I'm falling down the rabbit hole. As tempting as it is to stay in my private bubble, away from it all, ignoring it won't make it go away.

I will never be a summer person. The sunburn, heat and sweat... Yuck! It quickly turns me into a puddle of lethargy every year. Now Winter, Oh My! Snuggles become cosier and everything smells crisper. When I feel that chill in the air, I want to move and do things. The tingling cold always gets me going (and moving around is a sure way of staying warm).

Happy Women's Day, Ladies! Enjoy your break, and never forget how strong and capable you are. Joseph Conrad Quote on Pinterest

You won't know for sure how strong you are, until you find yourself 'Smack-Bang!' right in the midst of troubling times.

PC: QuotesArea A bad day is not a one-size-fits-all garment. No one's feelings rate higher than another's. Bad days are bad days. Grief is grief. That's it. Having said that, though, I do find that reminding myself of the fact that there are people who would love my bad days helps. It brings a different perspective to the situation. Maybe my bad day feels just as awful as someone else's bad day, but it doesn't deserve more recognition than that. It's just a bad day.

You may be weird. That does not mean you're a loser. It makes you Number One in my book. Dr. Seuss' as well.
