The Fight of My Life
On the 1st December 2017 at 20h00 the MRI revealed that I had a brain tumour the size of a golf ball at the base of my skull by the Pons between the Cerebellum. The official term is a Medullablastoma usually seen in children.
Inspired by South African Women…
their strength, their courage,
their beauty…
their unique originality,
their creativity and imagination…
their humble enduring spirit!
Celebrating South African Women…
by sharing their stories,
supporting their achievements,
applauding their success,
showcasing their talents…
embracing their differences,
by remembering,
and honouring their heritage.
With love and laughter and gratitude,
Mands

There is so much negativity about, and too often we can get caught in a spiral of negative thoughts and feelings, especially when we stay connected through social media. Although I have read this before, as it has been doing the rounds on the internet for years… and the author is unknown, it’s inspiring and uplifting so […]

If you go down to the beach today… you’re in for a BIG surprise! It’s Turtle Hatching Season, a time when the beaches of northern KwaZulu-Natal come alive with Leatherback and Loggerhead turtle hatchlings, all desperately scrabbling down to the sea. If you are very lucky… you may even get to see them. Once the […]
One of those is that I rushed into marriage, just to get out of the house, but that was not the solution at all… In fact, if I could give advice to any young person who is in the same situation out there, I would definitely suggest they never rush into any relationship or marriage […]
Annie Fleischack “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” ~ Vivian Greene I first read this quote a few years ago and it has since resonated with me. So often in life we do not appreciate our current situation or life chapter; we see it […]

for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. ~ Vivian Greene. This quote resonates with me so much. It vibrates & speaks to my soul. For the past 29 years of my existence, yes, existence, not life, I have been waiting for the sunshine. It rained, no it actually poured […]
