I'm at that point of the year already where I'm in desperate need of a holiday! Wow! I need fresh air, lots of walking and beautiful people. Oh oh and sunshine! I'd ideally wear this too. Love these sandals.

Easter weekend is upon us, but here in the southern hemisphere, it's no longer sandal weather :(

Have a happy rest of the week.

Did you need this message too?

Found it?

Have you found it yet? I'm kinda at that place in my life where I feel like I'm not all together sure what I'm even looking at or looking for...

I hope you find it. I hope you always find yourself too.

To say that January was challenging for me is an understatement. I have also simultaneously felt like I've been living January and almost watching January from the shadows. This is the first time I've not felt immersed in a month. It really has just passed by, but I've also been astounded that it's still January! How?!

I hope yours has been pleasant and productive month. Did I just say, "pleasant" (when did I become that person?) I feel like last year, we were already in April by now, but let's see what 2019 has in its grubby little paws for us.

I updated my cv earlier today. It was actually such a good way to see what I had been studying over the past few years and just a little moment to take stock. Turned it into quite a fun exercise.

Looking forward to watching this movie, On the basis of sex.

Enjoy the rest that this day has to offer.

Peonies

Wouldn't it be wonderful, to meet a man who knows me well enough to buy me peonies when they are in season...Such a short season too...

Don't do it...

Things I'd rather be doing...{source}

Back to work today. My my...not a thing I was particularly keen on doing, but well it's done now and kinda glad I did.

Summer in the southern hemisphere, means a lot of lounging the sunshine. Though our weather has been rather inclement and well I avoid the sun quite extensively (wrinkles and skin cancer will not trend here)... a little Vitamin D, never hurt nobody.

As a lot of us prepare to start the new year at our various posts a little inspiration;

a little new years horoscope

I reaaalllly liked this movie (surprised myself)

one day when I'm big, I'd like to make this pavlova

I agree with some of the must have ingredients on this list - what's on yours

Happy happy almost end of the first week of the year.

Great choice this

We are all often caught in moments where we struggle so much to be who we really are. Wanting to please parents (this is a heavy one), not stepping on imaginary toes of even more imaginary people. It's desperately unhealthy, yet so so common. We've all done/still do it!

Just be yourself, only for yourself. It's not selfish, it's more about tuning into yourself more.

Be yo damn self!

Truth perhaps

2018-12-27T22:55:00.001+02:00

{source}

This is a simple truth perhaps. One that is often overlooked, because sometimes we make excuses for people, wanting them to be better to us. Sometimes what's glaringly obvious, is something we'd all rather not see.

Time to see what we're seeing perhaps.

The year is screeching to a close. Though the final week seems to be plodding far slower than I'd like in real life. ahahahha

Just does not seem to be enough time. Enough time to catch up with my faves. Languish in these summer days and enjoy the storms.

So many special birthdays in my life today! Happy birthday all you stars!

Here is a little reading list of things on my mind lately...

Choosing NOT to have kids is a choice on children...

A behavioural bank what are your thoughts? South Africans can be better savers

Romance real and really lovely

Romance continued from Cup of Jo ...

"Says Kerri on what is romance, really: “On a walk one evening, my 17-year-old boyfriend told me that when his first child was born he planned to wear a suit because that’s what you wear to all of the special celebrations in your life. Teenage me was definitely hoping to be the one to have his babies after that! Fast forward almost a decade, I assumed he would have forgotten but, nope. That tender-hearted husband of mine walks into the delivery room with a tie peeking out from underneath his scrubs.”

Keep your magic this week and all through the holidays.

Monday musings

People are feeling quite sensitive as the the end of the year draws clearer and we become wearier. I'm not too bad. Just working away, this is clearly my mantra for now. Keep going, keep going, keep going!

It has been a swift, but long year. SO full of emotional highs and some pretty low lows. This has been a dense year. In as much as there were the same amount of days as any other year, these had more depth and breadth to the. The Universe packed a whole lot more in to the usual 24!

May you keep going...Slowly, at ease, shuffling, giant leaps...at your own pace.

Wow! Last day of November! The weekend has arrived. First day of December falls on a Saturday! Yho, what a way for this last month of year to start!

Here's a little reading list for the weekend;

Your salad zodiac

Books I could write

All buttoned up

A new week is upon me. A lot to get through, but will get to it all.

Wishing you all a goodie of a week. December is racing towards us...Ummm, what's the hurry?

Here's a little reading list for the new week:

How to start an email to your boss...

There's a word for unread books...

I swear by this facial hydrating oil (organic and local = winner!)

The doctor booked me off this week. Looong overdue for my poor body. Taking strain. I'm feeling amazing at the moment.

Onto a new full week!

Surely there must be a word for it...

...When you're so happy for someone that you've never even met.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry having a baby made me so spectacularly happy, like we're mates😂

Saw this link to this photo he'd taken of his beautiful wife and even more precious bump.

So good to be back

2018-10-15T23:18:00.001+02:00

I cannot remember where I found this... (I want to credit the source)

So I forgot the password for my blogger account around this time last year and sadly, it's been a year off writing this blog and my soul has surely felt the difference. This blank space has got me through the worst of times and the best of times.

I know barely anyone reads my blog which is awesome in its own way, since it kinda is a space for mindful and mindless musings. I am heart warmed and wholly surprised at who does read it though. It is something so special and a gratitude which I cannot express in mere words.

I am so happy to be back. So many things in my life have required long posts and short posts, but now I'm back...Wonder if I'll change much about this blog?

This news made me happy...for them..also I saw it on her face on Friday at the wedding none of us watched, kinda glad my suspicion was confirmed...

Anyway...welcome back to me... et vous? ça va?
