There is Light even In Darkness

Light Even In Darkness

So it's been a while since I last posted an article but mainly because quite a lot has happened in that space of time as well...

How often do you find yourself in a situation where your reaction in situations is almost always impulsive and sometimes negative too?

How often do you take the time to just think something through or even understand it before reacting or even verbally responding?

Now, two and a half weeks ago, particularly on a Friday, I got up, didn't feel like gym so I just prepared to go to the office. Upon my arrival at the office I had a bit of admin to do as I had been travelling all week but then I also had to make 2 trips to 2 of my clients. I really wasn't up to it, all I wanted to do was to stay in the office, complete my admin then jet off to start my weekend.

Regardless, I did what I had to in the office then went off to my first client in the Eastrand. That done, I proceeded off to my next client who is nestled in the Northern Suburbs of Jhb, Randburg. While driving to this next and last client, I had a few thoughts running through my mind, being a woman I was already thinking what I would make for supper, drafting a budget in my head and making financial plans and just as a quick thought I thought to myself, you know no matter how good a driver one is and how long one has been at it, at times road accidents are just inevitable and I thought, if I had to be in one in the near future, I would pretty much be screwed...

It hadn't been an hour and almost in a split second, lo and behold... I was in a car accident. What?!! Did I just have a car accident?!! Is this a dream... a continuation of my thoughts in the form of a nightmare?!! I was in utter disbelief.. Flip! What was I going to do?! Really, on a Friday afternoon??!!

As you might imagine, I was frustrated, stressed, panicked, regretful and almost bitter too but in the mist of all this there was a light in my storm, the driver of the other vehicle was so calm and seasoned and with a smile on his face said, "Lady, we should stop meeting like this," At the police station, the cops taking my report were full of jokes and managed to put a smile on my face. The very car that was bashed was still drive-able, no mechanical faults reported on my speedometer, no funny noises coming from the engine and no leaks and squeaks.

Obviously this was very hard to comprehend at first and in my view then, there was no light in this storm, what light is there when my brand new car has been bashed in less than 12 months? What light is there when I have to pay crazy amounts towards my insurance excess? But then it's almost 3 weeks now, the car is set to return tomorrow from panelbeaters and it is only now that I realize there was so much light amidst this storm. The Lord preserved my life, I made it out without a scratch or bruise, needless to say, the cars "IP" was also preserved with just minor minor damages to the body, those involved were calm and collected, heck insurance even gave me a discount on my excess :):)

I'm sharing this event with all of you, in an effort to awaken you that, in every negative there is a positive and that in every dark space there is light, in every good there is bad and sometimes all you need to do is to give yourself the time to understand or even comprehend what you're faced with. It doesn't matter what it may be, roll with the punches, take it a day at a time, a step at a time and you will begin to notice these little sparkles of light along the way.

There is indeed light in darkness and sometimes YOU might have to be that light in your own storm or another's...

Because I Am A Goddess

Because I Am A GODDESS

I am a goddess because I am daughter to a God. 

Because I'm a goddess I know my worth, I know I am destined for greatness, I know I am of honor and virtue. I know I am made of might and vigor. I know I possess many riches and wealth which cannot be bought. I know I am royalty and as such should treat myself accordingly.

This is just not applicable to me, but to you too!

With such great a knowledge, you cannot just sit and be acted upon, you get up and act. You cannot settle for mediocrity, go out and get the very best. You cannot blend in and conform, I refuse, you are a goddess, destined to stand out and lead! You are a woman of strength and wisdom.

It is my belief and opinion that one's name, in a way predestine's their character. The Urban Dictionary defines a Nubian Goddess to be "A woman that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, does not like to be praised because of her figure i.e. full hips or buttocks, but because of her willingness to survive despite the great obstacles that might be in her way." Part of it states that, she is a woman who seeks after intellect and self sustainability, independence in a nutshell.

As a goddess, you seek to nurture and uplift.You care for the needs of those around with no expectation for a reward. A goddess is self respecting and a beacon of light. She takes great pride in her heritage and beautifies it in the process. She is not ashamed of her skin color or texture of her hair but embraces that which she has been given because she knows she is a goddess and knows she is of great value and stature regardless of these facets.

Be a goddess, Be a priestess, Be an emblem, You are of Divine Nature! Know your worth then embrace it more fully...
