I know, it's totally gross!
I’m sharing the grossness of my skin because it’s very indicative of how I’m feeling today. I think the frustration, drained energy and fatigue has finally started to surface and I need to do a few things different.
It’s an interesting time for ‘project me’ and my me-ness! Over the past few days I have more and more signs that the tides are changing and I’m on the road to a very interesting journey. Continue reading

I don’t think I’ve ever shared my mother’s dry sense of humour with you. She has this extremely quick whit and says thing that would usually mortify or completely offend someone, yet everyone rolls around in stitches. Needless to say, when the team from Regim A asked how I was doing my mother informed them that everything was cracking up except my skin. She then keeled over in fits of laughter and sent me on my way to have my very first Regim A skin peel at my newest sponsor, Beauty Worx. Continue reading
Published September 2nd, 2010The past few days have been the official pinnacle of frustration along my fun journey that started 244 days ago. It’s all good and well to be conscious about life and look at every situation until you find the good and the fun it but when pain is involved it’s a totally different mindset.
Jeez pain does funny things to the mind. I’m giving it till tomorrow and then I’m going to have to take another course of action. Honestly, the only thing that is bugging me is that I’m going to run out of my medical allowance, which should be the least of my worries. Continue reading

Garfield is my favourite character and of all the moments I remember about his lazy ass character, I remember the day he tried to get away from Monday so he posted himself off to another country. What do you know, thanks to the time difference and his pathetic attempt at running away from his Monday issue, he had two Mondays in a row.
I seemed to have manifested one of those Garfield Mondays. I’m not even relating it to wishing the weekend was any longer because I was in total workaholic mode and did nothing social what-so-ever. Continue reading

It’s hard to imagine that you can have an extremely eventful day without even getting out of bed.
I took the day off from going into the office for a number of reasons. The last of them was actually the greatest of all because I had no idea today would be so freaking cold. While the rest of South Africa was doubling up on jerseys and wrapping scarves around themselves to keep warm, I literally stayed in bed all day. Continue reading
Published July 10th, 2010I’m holding thumbs and praying that my gorgeous twin nephews will be lights out by kick-off of the Germany vs Uruguay game. Chances are slim, but a girl can dream. That should be the end of my babysitting duties for the day, but they didn’t begin with my nephews, they began way before with children I met in the most unexpected of ways.
Today was my recovery day in bed after dragging myself through the week and faking being healthier than I really am. No reason to get up and nowhere to have to go. No one to speak to and no one needing me. You think? Continue reading
Published July 2nd, 2010After barely making it through the Netherlands against Brasil game, I’m back to catching my breath while watching Ghana play Uruguay. So far my teams are through and tomorrow I have the stress of watching Germany (who I have always supported till the bitter end).
Yep … it’s still soccer fever in South Africa! It’s greater than that … it’s soccer fever in Africa. Honestly, I only have bursts of passion for the sport but when it kicks in its one hell of an emotional ride. Continue reading
Published May 4th, 2010The saying is very true that it doesn’t rain, but it pours. All of a sudden it seems as though everything is going to launch within the span of a few weeks and Greggie and I find ourselves shuffling urgent things in the to do list into most super urgent, urgent-urgent, urgent and less urgent of all the urgents. Continue reading
Published May 3rd, 2010Even though I’m reflecting on my chilled out Sunday, I can’t help but be conscious of the fact that I’ve woken up, yet again, with those nervous butterflies flittering around my tummy. It started well over a week ago and they haven’t seemed to go anywhere except around in circles, leaving me feeling a little unsettled and woozy by the time my day starts. Continue reading
Published April 22nd, 2010Walking up on a freezing morning for the second time in a row and I decided that gym wasn’t on the cards. It takes a lot to make good excuses now that I’m so focused on being conscious every day and living in my truth. The excuse was easy enough to be convincing without it being too much of a lie. Greggie and I had the last day in the recording studio from about 2pm onwards and I couldn’t also go to gym and cut the day any shorter. Continue reading
