Best Wishes


I am away for the next week, fun, sun and bikinis! 

Wishing you all a merry Christmas, have fun, and be safe xo

Let There Be Love

I love in the beginning of Love, Actually, we are told about the arrivals hall of an airport, when you stop and look around, there is only love. People greeting, and people leaving, and through both of these, there is love. During the tragic events of 9/11 there were only calls of love. 

This song takes me back to 1994, being twenty and in love. I went to my grandparents for a mid-year holiday, and kept on hearing it on the radio. When I arrived back home, my polish boyfriend told me he missed me so much, and he loved me(!).  (Bless him)

Be still, my beating heart 😍 

Love, love, love 

Let there be love ❤️ 

Life After

How do you be friends,

When you are no longer friends?

When you have lost yourself 

In another’s eyes?

When you have lost your heart 

To another’s charm?

When you have anticipated 

Every fleeing moment?

And every kiss 

Has kissed your very soul 

How do you then,

Pray tell, only

Just be friends?

Addiction

Addiction has lured me in

Trapped me with seduction  

Tempting me with honey

Mixed with vinegar

Anticipation beats my heart 

For that exciting taste

Forget the bitter

I want the sweet 

Hide

Hide your life from me 

So I cannot know who you are

Or what you do

Hide your heart from me

So I cannot know who you love 

Or what you feel 

Hide yourself from me

So I cannot know who you are

Or what lies beneath 

I can imagine

My best guess for sure 

But I will never know.

Closer to Thee

Yesterday I took a moment, and read my posts of the past year.

A year of my life. A year of sharing. A year of growing and understanding.

Friendships made and lost. 

Tears and dreams. Disappointments and temptations.

Still struggling for victory. Still struggling  to overcome.

But I have been blessed. My family is safe. I have health. Sound mind. A home.

And I still have time and opportunity.

(Lead me, God, closer to Thee).

Anticipation


Well, here I am outside our home in sunny Johannesburg. Wildly anticipating the birth of my first born, who now looks down at his mother, and has grown to be an empathetic, respectful, tall, handsome 13 year old 😍
