YAY! WE ATE SOME FOOD FROM THE CONGO BONGO!

My friend and sister, Lorraine Veringa, Christelle's sister, (Christelle Veringa is the lady who makes the delish dressing from one of our Raw Food salads), is one of the most beautiful, intelligent women on this planet earth. Not only is Lorraine an amazing spirit, but she too is one of my main inspirations when it comes to cooking delicious food. When Lori cooks, it is one of those meals; that even has the third round being is eaten in silence! (EVERYTIME). She is a feeder and she loves it :)

I was craving some food from her hood, (KINSHASA,CONGO), so she offered to cook us an amazing feast to enjoy!

DISH:

Fumbwa, Pondu, Chikwange (A starch), Poulet a l'arachide (Peanut Butter Chicken), Tilapia

BON APPETIT ET MERCI MA SOEUR!

My Inspiration

LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL TREAT!

One minute you meet a man, at a bar and the next minute he has become one of the greatest sources of inspiration that one could ask for. I found this in my dear friend, Orrin Klopper (CEO of NETSURIT). Orrin is one of the most amazing people in the Universe.

His charismatic charm and willing ability to create happiness for others is one of the things which I have grown to love about him most. It doesn't hurt that he's good looking too (I love having good-looking friends...) I have never thought of befriending a KES boy, because they are slightly alternative to the other boys that we were conditioned to interact with, but through the grace of all the Gods out there, the energies of the Universe brought us together and I could not wish for anything less than what I have grown to learn about this amazing spirit.

Orrin not only touches my life, but he brings out the spark in everyone that he interacts with and this is ME TELLING YOU FROM FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE.

He is a true gem and his story is definitely one for the books.

Thanks Orri.. You are the BOMB-DIG!

Muchos Love,

IMAGINE GETTING MARRIED HERE!

As a child, I always loved learning about the planets AND the stars AND the sun AND the moon... Basically, I am a child of the Universe. It has always been a secret dream of mine to go to space (not so secret anymore). I plan to do so before I turn 30... COS IT'S DOWNHILL FROM THERE... Ha ha ha... Just kidding! I will not place any time-constraints (we hate these) on my vacation to our outer worlds, but the day I go, TRUST ME, I'll let you know.

Bisous toujours,

Don't be a DUNDAHEAD

A friend of mine once told me that it is in our nature as human beings to make decisions based on irrational thought. Some people, I find, are lost in their being and make the mistake of deciding on something that they are not completely comfortable with. The backend of these decisions, often leads to them placing blame on others for their actions. I believe strongly in the law of FREEDOM OF CHOICE. We are so quick to point out our failures which we embed in the 'influence' of the people with whom we surround ourselves. What is it though, that allows us to feel righteous in placing blame on other people. Is the regret that arouses oneself, a reflection of one lacking a sense of mental strength?

I had once experienced a friendship which was slightly erratic, but for the most part, thought to be magical. Sometimes we become lost in the magic that we create in our lives and the overwhelming sensations tend to become overbearing. When one feels overwhelmed, there are generally two roads that one can take. You can either ride out the wave and explore the intensity of your relationship. Or you can choose to surf in another region with your eyes closed, not knowing whether the grass is really greener. The latter option is daunting, for sure, but it often leads to greater discoveries about self and may even allow for one to gain a wider perspective of honesty.

I feel that a lot of us depreciate the value of others in our lives and that we are mostly unaware of the extent to which others will fly for us. I say fly here, because I think that any relationship should be based on the ideals of bliss, that one would find on Cloud 9 perhaps. We are too comfortable in our arrogance and take for granted the magic that can be found in others.

People often outgrow each other and relationships dissolve right in front of our eyes. What baffles me, is when we have regrets about those relationships ending. It is not in our nature to constantly chop and change the people who we are considered close to. It is ultimately a resolution for self and something that is only comprehensive to the indivudual concerned. We need not isolate ourselves in the loss of a loved one: friend, family or lover. We need to remember that we cannot befriend everyone around us and that some friendships work like a short-term contract of convenience. Find that sense of belonging and never give up on the people in your life, for it is because of them that you are still able to thrive every day. Loneliness in isolaton is a deal-breaker for the greater human race.

I feel more mature in my being and am thoroughly enjoying having to grow up, fast. The time is now for us to unite with those who we wish to carry through to the finish line. For those that are not here now, IT IS LATE!

Decide now, how you wish to conduct your relationships with people and with whom you wish to share your struggle. Those who are not willing to be there for you in your struggle are not worth sharing your gold piece with at the end of the day. Sometimes we prolong our relationships due to the idea of time. Have you found that there are some people who you wish to cut from your system, but feel pressured by the amount of time that you have known each other? Well do not allow that to deter you. If you need to cut them from the umbilical cord, then do so. I just say that you make sure to TAKE THE LEAD and  to be honest in your disengagement with those who were once close to you. There is nothing worse than being left in the dark and we all need to strive to provide others with the consistent piece of mind that we are all yearning for.

Bisous tous les jours,

20th BANG! - Homemade Organic Potato Chips

I love this!

Last month we tried out our first raw food diet. I think that light snacks such as crisps and popcorn are a great way to drop-kick those unhealthy cravings for artificially manufactured snacks.

I think this is a great DIY (do it yourself) concept and many people, including my sister, Botshelo Motuba - Trade Marketing Specialist at KayaFM, are the BOMBDIGGIDY at making these.

Enjoy the ride and never give up on the good times...

Keep Eating!

Are you hurting?

What happens to the human soul when one discovers that all that one has come to know in the 'game' of love, is not as quite one had imagined in one's mind. We are in constant search of our counterparts, soul mates, our one true love. Is it possible though, to love someone who does not even know of this love. What is the solution to our difficulties in settling down. I think that the main pain point of love is that a lot of us are more willing to settle FOR someone as opposed to settling down WITH someone. We are stuck in a continuous battlefield of making the right choice and I'm sure it does not help that society has placed a negative tone on the lifestyle choices of single 30 + members of its community.

Correct me if I am wrong, but were we not taught that there is one true love out there for everybody? Have you ever experienced the potential of love and realised that it is not enough for you? I have. When I reflect on this time though, I realise that it is my pride and slight sense of greed that blinded me from the love that was presented to me on a platinum platter. This is how love should always be given or received, in royal abundance. I find that we are overwhelmed by the many restrictions that people place on the idea of loving and being in love. Why should we only love one person? Why can we not love everyone? There comes here, the question of whether or not being in a physical relationship with everyone you love, classifies you as a whore or not.

I say that we should hold out on putting out for now. Some of us spend most of our energy on building sexual relationships and focusing less on the outcomes of these relationships. I am not one to preach, but there are many consequences in this regard, some of them negative and others completely detrimental to our beings. I believe that a love that is let go of or that which is lost will forever remain indented in our souls. There is always that touch-and-go moment in a relationship whereby you think about this being forever. It is in this moment that we come to realise whether or not that potential is worth fulfilling. The decision itself is not easy at all, but the lesson learnt from the experience encountered will always be well worth it.

In essence, we all create many fantasies about people we 'love'. Those near, far, known and unknown. We allow ourselves to become caught up in the fiasco that is conducted by the many voices in our heads (YES, WE ALL HAVE MANY VOICES IN OUR HEADS). Take time to listen to those voices intently, for at least one minute every day. This is one of the beauties of soul-searching. Listening to your inner core. Your thoughts dictate your abilities. Your ideas WILL manifest  if you allow yourself to take the risk of listening to what your spirit tells you. If you cannot control yourself, who will be willing to control you? We all have a task here, to live. To be alive in our connectivity. To ignite each other and to propel our neighbours with our positive ambitions. To inspire.

We need to understand ourselves better, otherwise we too will be removed from the 'normality' of being alive. We are complacent in nature and this often allows for us to define the contours of our lives from a selfish point of view. There is nothing wrong with selfishness, but sometimes, it is completely necessary to open our eyes and explore our visions. Explore the diversity of human interaction and grasp the truest, most comprehensive sense of self.

I believe that we can all make it through the storms, we just need to correct our bodies, minds and souls. We need to become one with ourselves before we can become one with one another. That is when true love is everlasting. It is when we have found our inner-most voices and it is when  we allow for ourselves to become indefinitely vulnerable to the Universe, that the love presented to us daily, permeates our system. Love yourself, first, wholly. It is one thing to let go of a loved one. It is when you lose yourself that the love within you evaporates and that your soul becomes invisible to the souls of others.

Bisous Tous Les Jours
