About Me

I'm just a girl determined to live my life Intentionally!

WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE!


Welcome to my newly revamped Blog. A lot has happened since I last blogged in June and it seems like such a long time ago.


I am a wife of one husband, and a mother of 5 kids, although they don't seem like kids, they are all taller than me and and range in age from 17 -26, four boy kinds and one girl kind. At times I make a huge effort to understand them and then I get exhausted and practise putting on make-up instead, I feel I get that right sometimes!! If you don't agree, I don't need to know, thanks anyway!


The kid in the picture on the sides, thats me, I felt it necessary to let you see yourself that I had the whole fashion thing happening when I was 8, even knew how to accessorise with the clip in my hair and the peg holding my cape on, was wooden, not some plastic junk!


I have just launched a new business that I am excited about called "THIS IS WHO I AM". So I will pop over every now and then and share something funny, wise, stupid, sad and hopefully inspiring.

I want to hear from you, drop me a line, and for those who have asked me to write about something in particular, I'm getting on to it!


Many times I have been asked to start blogging so I have finally taken the plunge. My blog is going to be about everyday life and sharing the journey with you, hopefully you will be encouraged and I will learn how to do life better.

I have a busy, fun, crazy life but don't know that I would swap it in a hurry for a quiet, boring life, although every now and then would be nice.


I will be adding interesting and funny photos along the way!

Looking forward to the journey.

BEWARE THE LITTLE FOXES.

Our lives are so full of big events, busy schedules,
tricky circumstances and we can be so focused on
them that we tend to forget or are too tired to
see some other things happening in our lives.

There is a saying that was used frequently in the
past " Keeping the Wolf from the Door", which
often kept the major part of peoples attention.

Wiki dictionary says "Keeping the Wolf at the
Door" refers to any danger or predator that
seeks to ravage the inhabitants within, ranging
from starvation to poverty to death. Well these
days I am sure that a lot of us are still following
this quote and are completely unaware of the
little foxes that are coming down the chimney
or finding other creative ways to enter our
world.

Our Wolves don't need to be things like
starvation and poverty, they can be normal
everyday life things like studying for exams,
planning weddings, family tradegy, the things
that take all our attention and the foxes can be
the stress our children take on, the busyness
of an overload of activity or the grief our families
carry through loss, illness, trauma etc.

The important thing to remember is to keep
our eyes and ears and hearts open so that we
recognise that the Wolf is often in disguise and
the fox loves to sneak about.

All these things can be managed well when we
learn to see them but are impossible if we are
not looking.

Have a great day!

  1. Makes me wonder how many of those foxes are around in my life. Food for thought Nelsa. I know I've given the wolf more focus at times too. Never thought of it that way until I read your post.
