Wow, I cant believe that it has been this long since one had made time to type something on this page, sometimes I wonder why I started... I know, I'm not the first to ask that question about my blog " she hardly post any thing , so why be a blogger"... Maybe in my effort of reminding myself as well why I started... Other than the fact that I have so much to say, God blessed me with most amazing gifts, one of them is writing, it is one of my dreams to write a book. Again, what's so  special about writing a book, most people have done it... yes there isn't  anything special , but my book will be about a woman from a very average background, who has failed in life, a dreamer like some of us.... let me stop there before I give the whole summary. Yes it is coming .... About 2013, firstly a very big Thank you for being part of awami growth, whether in my personal capacity or business side of things, I can not lie, 2013, was one of those...

Its   real been a while without writing, funny on Thursday while everything was going heywaya the only thing that was in my spirit was to write down my feelings about what was happening at that moment.  On Saturday we were doing a wedding for a very amazing couple Thuso and Mpfuneni, I real hope I got the grooms name right, because I kept on pronouncing it wrong. So between the running around and the crying when people were not doing what they supposed to be doing, there was this constant praise in my soul, more than anything I wanted to thank God, I just wanted to share with you guys how amazing it is to do something that you love with all your heart. The adrenalin that comes with running a wedding, this is one day you don’t wanna mass up in a person’s life, so knowing that part of it depends on you is quite a huge responsibility. I must say though, it real helps when you shift all that responsibility to God because He is the only one who can make anything perfect and ...

One of the things I love about my work is the opportunity that its affords me to meet most amazing people from different walks of life. On Saturday I had a meeting with this young beautiful couple, they getting married next weekend. It was not my first time meeting them, but yesterday I got a chance to get to know them better. They are both so sweet and very humble, and yes they are born again Christians. They  like friends, when are always giggling to each other... which I thought was very cute.     So what special about them, when people are about to get married there are always pressures that expose the true colours of both parties, but to see people holding on together without blaming each other, but just making sure that whatever that needs to be achieved is achieved, it says a lot about the future of the couple.   It is real beautiful for me to see two people loving each other, I know some people have given up on love, but I do...

Long time no writing.... Yes its real been a long time since I had taken time to write, yes I was not always busy, but artists know that we don't always have something to say or to write about... but today I mean yesterday the 22nd, I woke up with this drive in my heart, a day ago  I  received a request for a quotation for a an under the sea theme décor, I remember after talking to this client who wanted this, I laughed my lungs out knowing that there was no way I could do the under the sea theme. He sent me the picture of the décor he wanted, I looked at it and it looked like a photo shop edited picture, which gave me an impression that what he wants might not be necessarily possible to achieve. So I decided that in the morning I was going to call him and tell him that it was impossible for me to do what he wanted.   I remembered what my younger brother Malusi had told me, that there are places where you can hire almost anything you need... then I t...

Every song started with a word, every tree with a seed, every journey with one step.... We all  have big dreams, like high paying jobs, write beautiful music, big businesses, but very we all want to start big, we even have a saying that says " Go Big or Go Home"... There is nothing wrong with that saying but sometimes we miss little things that make a big dream come true, we want to become Vara Wang in a day, we want to build Rome in a day, we forget that to achieve a bigger dream you must work your way up. I remember I decided to make my own wedding dress. So I took it to a lady who has been in the business for quite sometime. She told me that I should start by making matric dance dresses before I start thinking about wedding gowns, she made me try one of her dresses  so that I can see how the dress is supposed to look like. She never told me what to work on or change, but to hire a dress from her and then keep on practicing my dress making skil...

I don't know but it looks like my soul is re-falling in love... Recently when I type on this blog the only thing that comes to my mind is Love.... I know some will be turned off because we are a generation that has given up on love that doesn't believe it exist, some even think no one knows what love is, so since we all don't know it, how can  we even begin writing or saying anything about   love? Those I have a privilege to know personally, they know how much I believe in love, how it puts a smile on my face, how it brings light in my life and how it warms my heart. Yes I love " Love", I know sometimes it doesn't feel as warm as I would want it, but I still give all, to experience it. My Spiritual father usually say that the Bible is a love story about "How God lost His lover and how He got Her back". Although I don't have much of an insight as he has in relation to that theory, but in the Bible I have learnt so much about Love, in all its...

Last night I attended a couples seminar in my church, I was with a friend of mine, and just before anything was said, my Mfundisi quoted these words, not from the Bible but from Myles Munroe " "When the purpose is not known the abuse is inventible" ... so he asked everyone to tell everyone why they got married . We laughed, but when you listen to about 100 people telling why they got married, most of us said Love, was the main reason, some having children, some said sex and we laughed but the truth was that it was the reason why wanted to get married. You  could hear even in their voices thatthey were speaking about something very close to their hearts their first love..... So when we were all done telling our reasons then we were asked what then changed. Why the some want to live those are with? did people fall out of love, or did those we love change...  So this made me relies that marriage relationship in pa...
