This Is My Moment...


The past few weeks, no make that the past month, has been a little rough for me. I kinna felt like I hit rock bottom in my job hunt, my faith was knocked and my confidence seriously blown. But I heard the most uplifting message at church this Sunday, it was one of those where you leave, feeling lighter in load and knowing that you needed that. God sent that message to me, straight into my heart. Looking around me there is just so much going on, My Sweet Potato's husband got a new job, FASM got a job, and my girl Afrocen' got into the game too. I'm so proud of them all because I know how hard we've all been looking. I handed in my notice at work; I'm finishing in a week. And although I know people are worried for me and I know people trying to worry me I'm cool. In fact, I'm better than cool. I feel great; I feel excited. I feel like a testimony is on its way.

So much this past month, and the past has tried to rear its ugly head. But I passed that test. I realised two days ago that certain areas of my past hold no sway anymore. And boy did THAT feel good! But it also alerted me to something. I dunno if anyone else has this, but do you ever feel notice that bad things from your past, things (or people) that block or ruin you path always show up around the time of your greatest successes and breakthroughs? Looking around me, looking inside me, I feel like great things are coming and I'm not about to let anything block this. Devil get behind me. This is MY time. This is my moment...

My Sister


I know I have been pretty down on the blog and in the real world to the poor people who are my friends (love you guys!). And although all that stuff is still pretty depressing. I just wanted to use this post to give a big shout out to my supportive friends (My Sweet Potato, Sankofa, FASM, Dodgy Boy, Foneshop Boy, Ms. Design, Ms Lawyerlady, Afrocentric, Kayobi, etc..) who have helped keep me out of the pits of doom and gloom somewhat.

But even more than that this is a shout-out to my family: my Mum, my Sister and my Cuzzy. Because, honestly, without their support I'd be finished. Cuzzy is always at the end of the phone to listen to my crap and sympathise. Bless my Mum, she is sooo cute cuz she has a 'secret' prayer list which I peeped the other night. And even though there is so much strain on our family at the moment, can you believe my job hunt is at the top of her prayer list?

But most of all: This is to my sister. She called me the other day and I ended up in tears describing my job hunt. She listened and offered me advice. And she was just THERE for me, you know? I'm not usually the type to wax lyrical about my family and I know I take them for granted, God forgive me. But this just needs to be said...

I HAVE THE BEST SISTER IN THE WORLD AND I LOVE HER TO BITS!

It's been said before that we should always remember to count our blessings. And my sister is one of the biggest blessings out there. Indescribable, incomparable. I don't know what my life would be like without my big sis, I shudder to think. I know I wouldn't be half as great as I am today without her. We are so very different but I can tell her anything and everything and she will always be there for me. I don't have a best friend, and I don't need one because I have my sister.

Love you girl!

Monday Rant!


It's just a mini rant today. I sprinted into work today like a banshee on crack, an hour early. KMT. I've just realised that my blackberry is playing up and it's showing my appointments AN HOUR early. Clearly, I use my blackberry to organise myself, so this malfunction is major. I really do need to take my phone in for repairs, I'm just not looking forward to a crap replacement and no blackberry messenger for two weeks. WHYYYYYYYYYY?

And the stupid 'Dead Sea' people (darh-ling...can I ask you a question? Darh-ling let me see your hands. Imagine this every two minutes for the ENTIRE day. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!) Keep coming up to say 'Darh-ling, why are you not smiling? Beautiful, smile for me' NO. Just piss off, this face clearly means piss off!!!

But on a positive note, I've had a really good weekend. Not very productive, granted. But I needed a break from my life. And I got reacquainted with an old friend, finally met her lovely husband, saw her two year old and her new-born. Awwwwwww! It was enough to make a woman-like-me broody! Such a cute little family unit.
