YES. YOU. CAN.

I get told often I have lots of goals and make many personal challenges.  It’s always in a positive context and it makes me feel really warm and fuzzy on the inside when people say this trait of mine really inspires them.  I’ll be honest, I set even more goals this year!   They keep pushing…

International Day of the girl child: 10.11.2020

My girl. I celebrate her each day.  I am grateful and honoured to be her mom.  I asked for and prayed for a child and I received her.  Strength beyond measure.  Smarts and swagger that you can’t teach.  Beauty inside and out.  She is a proud girl and she makes us proud each day.  She…

Is it just hair?

Is all the rage and uproar really about hair though…?  Let’s talk about it. I’ve been following an issue, that I would deem a crisis for the Clicks SA group of companies.  Click here for full story but in summary – a Tresemme ad was placed on the company website describing a black woman’s hair…

Lessons in Quarantine

  Last week I ran three consecutive km’s.  Twice I may add!  By EOW I aim to be at 5km.  I’m recovering from a knee injury and due to COVID, suffered way too long before I could see a physiotherapist.  Healing has seemed like an eternity at this point! Sharing the lessons I’ve learnt during…

September!

Summer is not quite over but fall is around the corner.   Back to school means back to regular routines.  Routines mean back to the grind and I’m all for it.  Tournaments and club shows here I come!   Training never stopped but it did lighten up somewhat or rather, I allowed myself to ease…

When one door closes…

…well, we all know how that saying goes right?  In my case though, two opened and boy did I step inside! A follow up from my last post – take a read if you have the time.  The 2nd Annual West Coast Wonder Women tournament was not in the cards for me in 2019 and…

Mommy’s journey…

It’s a journey whether we reach the intended destination or not.  We move on. With that, my journey to the 2nd Annual West Coast Wonder Woman Tournament in Sooke, BC was a very public one and it’s only fitting to announce here that this year, that trip won’t be the destination I was working towards. …
