Captured Life of Us

Today it dawned on me that I am the luckiest person alive being surrounded by such wonderful friends and family. This is why I wrote on my Face Book wall: What if we start each day like this.....

The journey to where I find myself wasn't easy, but we made it.
Thank you friends for sharing your lives and memories with me I feel honoured to be part of each one of your lives.
My friends you are each so unique and from each of you I have learned: How to face life once again after the divorce. I would not have been able to do this without you...How to accept other for who they are..How it feels to be loved....How to dream...and how to live life outside the box..
I guess one of my biggest challenges this year will be to bless other with what I have received. I hope each of my students at Stage Door Academy finds friends like mine and can see how Good God has been to me despite these obstacles in life. It's been amazing to see how far we all have come....So thank you for letting me lov…

Jo Petty once wrote: "Each new day is an opportunity to start all over again... to clarify your vision...."

What powerful words Jo Petty wrote. I have realised that the Change has been knocking at my door. I need to stop worrying my life away and take each day as a new beginning: a chance, an opportunity to start all over and fix the mistakes I might again make.... It feels good to know that this is possible...

I have noticed wonderful and new things around me the last couple of weeks. It is like the covers that kept me from seeing what has been there all along have disappeared. I see in vivid colours for the first time... Life finally seems clearer....

It's time to start all over again....

Just a thought from me:

When we are content with who we are Happiness are just seconds away and will make moments feel like eternal bliss..... Store and save these moments in your soul.... They are the window into your Soul....

My Best Friend Andrea inspired me to write on my blog today....For a month now I have been wondering what will I write about on my blog apart from my divorce and then when speaking to Andrea I realised it was time to talk about the future...

At the end of last year I made a list of all the things I have achieved during 2009 and then it dawned on me that despite the awful year I had with people. I had achieved a lot even if some things were small.

This year I have decided to make smaller goals and I can achieve monthly and then I also have bigger goals I can achieve in the year. The important thing was not to come to the end of 2010 and feel I have achieved nothing.

I have decided one of my main goals this year is to be a better human being. I want to mean something to others and just no anything really mean something. Now that My divorce is final I feel a new day has dawned and I can breath. I can be a blessing to others. I will be a better friend to my friends this year and I intend…

... I thought he was the one... Photos scattered all around....


While sorting through the boxes of my life I came across a picture of the boy I once loved. When he left I wiped away any evidence of our life together, but some how this picture managed to hide away. I remembered that he was kind and I hoped he would be the one I would spend my life with. Unfortunately Life would not have it so.... My heart instantly filled with a longing and questions on how he was: Was he happy?... and if so... did he ever think of me? When checking on him I saw that he was doing just fine....
The day he left I said to him that I will surely never stop loving him and will wish him all of the best.... I see now that He has found Love, Life and Happiness.... I remembered how happy I once was just watching him drift of to sleep....
When looking at his photos I could see that I left my fingerprints in his life and they are still visible too me aft…

As I was getting on the freeway to join the endless stream of cars I noticed something that made the world stop for a brief moment. Enlightenment I like to call it.....

The freeway was like life we are all going the same way, but none of our destinations are the same. Some of us gets frustrated with our lives just like when we get stuck on the freeway. If you persevere the traffic of life will sort its self out and we will move forward closer to our destiny....

We all have a destination I believe: For some of us the road is short and with little problems and for others the road is long and frustrating. No one knows why this is.... It is just the way it is... It is important to find HOPE floating on the surface of life.... You should cling to it....

Nothing is chance, it all has a meaning in the grand scheme of things.

Can not believe that it is the 1st of December and Christmas is but 24 days away...

While passing the shop windows in the mall I could not help but notice that Christmas seems to be toned down a lot here in South Africa. One can see that the Recession has left it's scares. It is almost as if Christmas is hiding away. But in an instant I remember Christmas is not about sales and money. That is how we have changed it. Christmas is suppose to be about Giving, Sharing, reaching out and Family....

I remember my first white Christmas in New York. I felt like a small kid standing at each shop window on 5th Ave staring at all the beautiful decorations they had put on display. My house was covered in a blanket of snow and the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the rooms, making them warm and inviting. The tree was decorated with the most beautiful ornaments and the gifts was resting under the green pine tree.

I thought this is how Christmas is suppose to be.... White, Red, Silver and Gol…
