She did it , she can walk...YIPPIE!!

I battled to sleep last night, i was overwhelmed by exitement after hearing news that my little gal took her first steps.

I knew it was gonna happen, but i had no idea the joy it would bring, and the sadness that came along with the fact that i was not there to witness this wonderful moment, to give her big a big kiss and lotsa hugs for her achievment....

Mommy is proud of ya little Lady!!

I was there....with my VUVUZELA!!!

A few weeks ago I got a chance to experience the thrill of watching a Confederation cup game LIVE….and I had a blast! A friend invited me to go watch Banafa Bafana vs Brazil game at Ellis Park during the Confederations Cup 2009 semi finals. I went and got myself a vuvuzela and flag, I couldn’t get a Bafana shirt, or rather afford one.

Even thou South Africa did not win the game (don’t ask me the score) I must say that they played very well. I cheered, I screamed for Booooooooth and Khune, I also learned to ‘operate’ the Vuvuzela (its not easy, believe me!!), I even made a few Brazillian friends!!

I am not a soccer fan, but it is undeniable that soccer is a universal force. It creates an international platform for players, coaches, countries, companies and fans that any other entity can’t create single handily. It stirs unbelievable emotions in men and women alike, it’s exiting and it is the most celebrate sport in South Africa if not the WORLD, and I’m still not a fan? wierd huh?

Woza!! 2010 World CUP Woza!!

Not Today....

On some days i can hold my head high and walk on clouds, but today is one of those days where i don't feel like coming out of the hole. I know i'm not supposed to fall apart , i know i must smile and keep walking, i know i must look forward with hope but not today.

I am not giving up, or giving in, i'm not accepting defeat, i am simply taking a break from the 'all is well' front that i have now come to master.

I am simply accepting the feeling, acknowledging the pain and the confusion, that does not make me a failer, does it?
