A Month of Gratitude – Day 2 2025

Hi there! So I was just scrolling through my photos and it was a reminder of what a good year it was.

I have had so many great experiences this year. I got to capture the sunrise over Ballito on an autumn morning and watch the moon’s eclipse with my son. I got to watch my son do what he loves best, play soccer. Through my job, I travelled around the country promoting our latest product launch, and we appeared on TV twice. I got to meet and be inspired by the stories of two of our local sporting heroes, Dricus du Plessis, our ex UFC champ, and Andile Dlamini, who is our South African Women’s Soccer Team’s (Banyana Banyana) goalkeeper. I also got to give back through the Dove Self-Esteem project. We visited a school to remind grade 8 girls that they are beautiful as they are.

All pics except the blood were taken by the author. The blood moon pic was taken by my son.

These are just a few of the many moments that made up a year that I can look back on with pride, joy, and gratitude.

A Month of Gratitude – Day 1 2025

It’s that time of year again where we all take some time to reflect and take stock of the year that has been. Those of you that have followed me for some time know that this is also when I take a moment to just say thanks for all my blessings. I hope you join me in doing the same.

This has been one of the most challenging years I have ever experienced at work. I successfully reapplied for my job. I got to not only keep my job but start with a new team. I underestimated how stressful it would all be. Once again my health markers took a knock but I did say my words for this year were health and wellness so I remained focused on my diet and exercise to help me get through it all. I am still here so I am very grateful for this. i am also grateful my new team and I have made it through and still have our jobs.

I had actually started the year reading and sharing Joel Osteen’s book “I Declare: 31 Promises to Speak over your Life” These declarations really helped me start the year on a positive note. Now that I think about it, I should end the year the same way. I highly recommend doing something similar. It helps start the day wrapped in your faith.

I will leave you with the above quote from Joel Osteen. A reminder that even though the year is nearing its end, there is a new year on the horizon filled with possibilities and possibly destined to be your best year yet.

Thanks for popping by.
