I think it so thrilling to play the motherly role without actually having to be the mother. Last weekend I became a godmother, it is such an amazing feeling knowing that I have been chosen to fulfil such an important role! WOW! My godchild becomes more gorgeous every day. I don’t get to see her as often as I would like but when I do get to see her I am amazed at her growth and how much she has changed. Becoming a godmother is such a blessing; it has made me even more anxious to become a mother myself, although I know that it needs to wait.

My godchild has the most gorgeous name: Rachel and she is as gorgeous as her name and as strong as it too. Rachel means: ewe, the female sheep or the one with purity.

I am looking forward to many years of love and fun with the one with purity!

Camping with the family

That's not the entire family 

This year has been full of ups and downs, but one thing that has kept my Sunnyside up is my family. Though there are many times when we argue and get on each other’s nerves, they are the people I love spending my time with. It’s strange how when you are young your family is your everything and then you hit those middle years and you drift away, your friends become your family and then all of a sudden, without you even noticing, it your family is back at your centre. I believe that your family is given to not only to be there as you blood relatives but also as your friends.

Going away for the weekend with my entire family has made me realise just how important they are too me! I love them more than I can say and thank God for bringing them into my life, or rather me into their life. 

If not now, then when?

Many people ask this question but “now” is not always the right time to do everything, in fact something’s should never be done at all. Many things, especially the important things, take time and preparation, it doesn’t happen overnight. In this rushed world that we live in, many people feel that they don’t have time to waste because everything is moving too fast. Well, to those people I say: “Never rush perfection, everything that we require in life will be given to us as long as we work hard and do everything we can to make it a reality!”

So, my answer is: if something can’t be done now, then more preparation needs to take place and the individual needs to realise that the right time will come. We don’t need everything right away.

Hiking with my loved one

I absolutely love being outdoors, even though I have little time to spend there. Every opportunity I get I take. Recently I went on a hike with my boyfriend – it was such fun. We woke up early the morning, packed our bags with water and other refreshments and hit the road. When you got to our hiking spot the air was still fresh and it felt like to we were miles away from the busy city life. We breathed in the fresh air and began our journey up the mountains. We saw so many things and even though we got tired we carried on and enjoyed the peaceful moments with nature.

Nothing beats spending time with the ones you love and Mother Nature!

Watch this space

Yes you read correctly! You need to watch this space, this space refers to me. I am destined for greatness and it is going to happen very soon! I have been working hard, making sacrifices and learning new things with only one goal in mind: GREATNESS! I cannot wait for the day I receive my degree and walk into the job of my dreams. I know for sure that this is not going to be an easy task but I have worked hard my entire life do not intend to stop anytime soon!

Greatness is something you achieve, not something you receive! 

That's me on my way to greatness! 

My favourite Cat in the Hat book is …. Because…

This is an easy blog…

I’ll have to start reading them in order to answer this question. I went to a school where we weren’t lucky enough to read those books… I think I’ll read them now, as an adult :)

Why I have conversations?

When I was asked this question I was puzzled, and it got me thinking… Why exactly do I have conversations?

I realised:

1. Sometimes I have conversations cause the awkward silence becomes too loud
2. Sometimes I just want to get to know someone
3. Sometimes I can’t wait to tell someone something
4. Sometimes I just feel like hearing what others have to say
5. Sometimes I’ll have a conversation with myself, just to understand what I’m thinking
6. Sometimes I want to learn
7. Sometimes I just need to talk for no reason
8. Sometimes I just want to prove a point
