What I Learnt Today about Growth…
Today I’m reminded once again that; Learning happens one day at a time. Winning ideas spring up one moment at a time. Wisdom is ignited one conversation at a time. Legacies are created one experience at a time. Change happens one person at a time. What’s in our minds,...
How we FEEL during change
Your feelings fluctuate between different emotional states during change, each individual is unique in how they process these emotions. It’s critical for you to recognise how you feel and take the right steps to manage your emotions before they become a hindrance in...
Being a Hermit
Most times I find myself alone. My best times are with myself. Yet my world is surrounded by people. People I love and cherish. People who love me wholeheartedly as well. People I make cameo appearances in their lives. Whom we have shared best laughs and silent cries....
Going through it…
There is something to be learnt in the deepest valley of grief, change, transformation. Solitude becomes virtue, conversations with others stimulate your own perspectives. The constant reach out to others that can shed a light, rescue you from the deep dark valley...

Gosh 10 years it's been, crafting this brand and the official trademark registration application has finally been submitted successfully. ![]()
I have been trying to do this since 2020 and this was the 20th application attempt!![]()
![]()
Lesson learnt right here is that the tenacious ones are the ones who succeed, going all the way to the finish line.![]()
![]()
Now, let us continue to create and market!![]()
![]()
Which brings me to another story,![]()
![]()
Last night I had a dream, I wanted to go to the loo, requested to use the one reserved for the leaders and teachers at the said premises. ![]()
![]()
I got handed the key, it was fibreglass-made and gold in colour. As I was making my way there, several ladies asked if they may try on these dresses in the loo first before I went in. I had not realised there were dresses there with me.![]()
![]()
I was so shocked when they came out flaunting the dresses, gobsmacked more like it. ![]()
![]()
I can still remember the colours, fabric feel and yooo I was just in awe looking at how DIVINE they felt in those dresses.![]()
![]()
Did I make those dresses?![]()
![]()
I have no idea, the dream ended and moved right along to other dreamland stories. ![]()
![]()
More on those another day,![]()
![]()
For now, cheers to this incredible trademark milestone!
Love this! Slow down and read it ✨![]()
![]()
How brave you are for slowing down. For not finishing that to-do list.![]()
![]()
How courageous you are for not crossing that finish line, because your body said “enough.” ![]()
![]()
How fearless you are for choosing the quiet of your soul over ![]()
those voices driving you always towards more.![]()
![]()
How bold, how rebellious - ![]()
you, out there, ![]()
honoring your own natural rhythm, ![]()
going against the culture’s breakneck speed.![]()
![]()
We tend to make heroes of those hungry with ambition, ![]()
relentlessly doing, producing always more. ![]()
![]()
We applaud those who refuse to stop or rest. Who push themselves so hard in the name of achievement, that they sacrifice their body and soul and heart in the process. ![]()
![]()
We celebrate those who are ill or aging but never show it, never slow down, never reveal a moment of vulnerability.![]()
![]()
This drivenness can be heroic, at times. It can be necessary for our survival or the greater good.![]()
![]()
But,![]()
![]()
I want to make heroes of those who slow down.![]()
![]()
I want to make heroes of those who listen to their bodies, who do not strive for more than what the soul truly needs.![]()
![]()
I want to make heroes of those who do not force or push, but surrender to each moment as it opens.![]()
![]()
I want to applaud those who may not be driven towards success as we know it, but instead are nurturing something deep and subtle and needed.![]()
![]()
I want to celebrate those brave enough to cease all doing, even for a second, and sit with the ache in their hearts. A task many find harder than summiting the highest peak. ![]()
![]()
I want to make heroes of those who honor their limitations. Who are unable to keep up with the busy-ness of our times, yet show up to each profound, necessary moment.![]()
![]()
It is truly an act of courage and rebellion to do any such thing, in a world demanding you resist your own self, your own rhythm, your own soul.![]()
![]()
And the paradox is, that often when we cease our incessant doing, even for a minute, and listen to that quiet voice within, we discover what it is we absolutely must do, and what instead can fall away. ![]()
![]()
We finally hear the call towards what serves our soul, and what then will serve the world. Nothing more, nothing less.![]()
![]()
A hero is simply someone brave. ![]()
So come, be softly brave. ![]()
Be a new, quieter kind of hero. ![]()
![]()
Few may applaud, it’s true, but your soul certainly will.![]()
