Words To Nourish The Mind

Hello Thank you for stopping by. This week is a 4 part special blog post series, as part of a #SurvivorsMovement , it would be great if you could share below where you are reading it from, as it’s our intention to go global with this. We are really passionate about making a positive difference, in hope to inspire other fellow #da survivors.  A message from a Survivors Circle, each flower basket represents someone who turned their brokenness into their breakthrough , we are a group of individuals at various stages of our healing journey, who have come together with one message: ‘Your broken place can become your healing place’ Our brokenness was so uncomfortable but very much needed to process the past. A common theme running through all our stories is the distinction between cause and symptoms. The cause can be traced back to our childhoods, where our inner child needs was not met.  This is what makes the movement so compelling, it is shared k...

Hi Thanks for stopping by as always.  This week’s #blogpost was inspired by the quote below which resonated deeply, because within the last 7 years, I had left 2 highly toxic situations. I am thankful every day that I live to tell the tale and in hope that it will offer solace for others. The human mind is more comfortable with the uncomfortable than the unknown. I can relate to this a lot because unsettling nature of, not knowing the where’s & what’s. Hence many stay in dysfunctional situations, included myself but for my own sanity I knew I had to walk away when my bottom line has disappeared. Having gone through the cycle of suffering and surviving a few times over, the chain of events has taken me outside of my comfort zone where I now wholeheartedly embrace change. I have the strength and wisdom to take hold of the situation before the situation takes hold of me . Today’s scars are tomorrow’s str...

Hello Thanks for stopping by- I wanted to dedicate this blog post to my survivors circle, also extending this to other fellow survivors. I really like this survivor definition by http://www.dictionary.com/browse/survivor ‘A   person   who   continues   to   function   or   prosper   in   spite   of   opposition, hardship,   or   setbacks’. This led me to think that the best revenge is to live well, living each day to its fullest and be successful as you can be. Even a victim of past events can inspire future generations to make better choices and even in the most tragic circumstances, something beautiful can come out of it which is peace in itself. This blog post was prompted by the following note from my own circle: ‘When you have already died inside you fear nothing once reborn’ (E) - this struck a chord with me, because I have died in my spirit and soul many times over. This time I almost didn't ge...

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...
