No one said it would be easy

We all don’t realize that we have so much to be thankful for
We have so much to appreciate and to give thanks for

We always tend to look at the worst parts of our lives and fight to bring about better things from that.

It’s hard to give away power when you have been in power for a long time…that is what Mbeki and Mugabe are going through now.

Its being naïve to see Shangarai and Zuma as fitting into presidential shoes, but this is only one person’s opinion. Yes they may come with new ideas and strategies of recovering the Zimbabwean Economy; and the other: to changing the South African Constitution completely. This is politics

We forget that before all this…. There was struggle, there was bloodshed, and there was no peace. And after all this; now we forgetting that we didn’t care whom the person next to you looked like or where they came from- as long as they ran next to you and on your side. Suddenly my neighbor is not allowed to breathe the same air as me because she/he does not speak the same language as me; she/he does not have the same tradition as me. This is xenophobia.

I am only but one person and trying to change the world on my own is impossible, but my faith and open hand to welcome and assist those in need can make a difference. God helps those who help themselves. And God is a loving God who does not mistreat his people and claim unity and peace.

Do not pray whilst you wish bad for your opponent. Do not cry freedom when you are still holding on to the anger of your history. Do not see racism when you can not find it in your heart to love your being different from others.

Is Aids really the killer or the stigma around it? Is cancer really killing millions more than the bullets and wars around the world? Before you pray for a cure for aids and cancer- pray for world peace, pray for cure of Xenophobia, pray for wise leaders and pray for unity.

No one said life would be easy- The World IS what WE make of it.

Appreciation

Out of curiosity of what I would find if I google the word: APPRECIATION, not surprisingly this is the 1st meaning of appreciation on my online dictionary: Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things. It is very easy to put things aside and forgetting to be grateful and showing that you care and respect others. I personally am guilty of doing the exact thing of being so spoilt rotten with love and care that I assume that it will always be there Well, this may come as expected somehow because I am big when it comes to assumptions…not something to be proud about. There is a time where in your life you feel misplaced and vulnerable to an extent that the loneliness makes you feel hopeless. Through this emotional rollercoaster my heart sinks to the bottom of my feet and tears flood down my face and confusion takes over clouding my judgment. My heart aches and my body moans in pain. Those around get lost in wonder and they become too scared to ask. Be ...

Remember remember

Things happen and so many come as shocking surprises and others as forgotten truths that we all wish not to witness the coming or final discovery of it. Its hard to face head on your worst fears and realising that what you always perceived and predicted as true is in fact the truth. Its all about having a back bone to be able to stand and face this world. When you are in pain and in bed on your own and no one hears and sees your thoughts, those are the deciding moments of your life. That is the time when one makes a choice to be or not to be. Only the strong prevail, only the might walk on. As we face the tides in out lives, we forget not that we once walked to the parks of the union buildings and shared our future plans and dreams under the beautiful clear blue summer skies. Now drifted and miles and oceans apart, we still hang on and look forward to a better tomorrow. Hold my hand and never let go, I will be an idea and you will be the wisdom behind it. There is so much that is still...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
