2016 contains one of my most memorable life moments. Biking the bridge, right up there with wedding days and babies being born, and citizenship ceremonies etc, it was one of those “I am biking the bridge” moments.
I also received a lovely surprise gift from Turkey, met Minnie Mouse at her residence in Disneyland, saw a rainbow at majestic Yosemite, spent time with my dad, hit the shopping sweet spot at a certain Sandton City, went to a wedding, and spent Christmas Day in a cabin on the beach with friends. And carrot salad -a South African classic.
My children remained healthy, I remained healthy and employed, and even though I endured a few humbling and cruel situations that were fairly *brutal*, I came through it relatively unscathed.
My hopes for 2017 is to move my life forward. In a positive way. To use those brutal, slay-me-to-the-core experiences to grow. To overcome. To be a better me.

It can be hard but it is doable!!! But if it seems not possible than it can be the call that the situation might need a change and not the thoughts…

Thanks Erika, just trying to figure out how to make a change, and feeling ‘not good enough’ generally! Work in progress! 😀

That feeling when you are in front of a cross roads and not knowing which way to go because both don’t feel good… being stuck makes all even harder to! I understand that well!

Thanks for understanding, I must say that my blog is a lifeline of sorts, it is one place where I do feel ‘good enough’ in part, very glad for that xx
