Sometimes it gets heavier before it gets lighter, other times it doesn't get lighter, you get stronger.. You learn how to shift the weight... You become resilient to heaviness 😭😭😭😭😭
Remember on the 21st of June when I said I'm going to ask my Rakgadi to make this for me. I went for measurements two weeks ago... I did a fitting this afternoon... I wasn't going to say anything... But... Check F2. 😭 Bathong Kedibone... ❤️❤️❤️
Find your child's friend with whom you have a decent relationship with the mother... Set a time for a video call daily. Early onset depression in young children is terrifying.
My heart broke last night..I gave my son a list of 5 emotions to choose from.He said, mama I'm lonely.
If you're a plant parent, sometimes after eating a banana,(maybe once a month) soak your peel and feed your plants with the water. The shine on your leaves, and the super food will be awesome for your indoor babies. 🍃🪴...
Zam looks at Nkhensani like a rare delicacy, like a fountain of all that's good and right with the world. She radiates like a lighthouse to him... Like ke gone a mmonang after a long journey. An eternal sungthing. It's not him, it's not her.. Heeeeeeyi man, It's them. ❤️

I'm turning 35 on Saturday... There are 35 things I wish I'd known or said to my younger self....
1. Your body is banging baby girl...
2. There is no one like you.
3. Sexuality is fluid.. Allow it to manifest in whichever way.
4. You are a brilliant story teller, cast your spell
Our children may be going through seasonal blues.. My point here is that it mustn't be ignored as it may lead to suppression of emotions-and later on.. A real feeling of hopelessness. Let's access them while we can. ❤️
Give hugs even when you're not a hugger... Affirm love... Yoh.
Be kind beyond your regular sort of kindness...
I'm trying to set up at least 2 a day.. With different children.
My child with a speech impediment did his presentation on attenuation dams with incredible fluency... The whole class was on the verge of tears... He just rolled away.. The applause was raucous...
The tears came quickly... I spent all night trying to figure out how to make a playdate...
Video call on zoom or whatsapp or whatever. Just to see each others faces. Maybe you've been doing this... Maybe not.
But what is go rwala? To to wear/carry something that you will take off later. O rwele.. You're carrying. O ithwele.. You're carrying a bit of yourself that you will deliver/release later. ✌🏽
It's my mommy's birthday today, a whole 64 years of wonderful, funny, wholesome, strict, God didn't bring me to Earth for me to suffer, goodness! Happy birthday mama Kabi, we wish you many more years of good health, more laughs, more love, more time with you.Blessings. Missy.❤️
4 years and a bit ago, I put my furniture in storage and moved back home to regroup.. Go ikreiya reg.. My dad passed away a month and a bit later...My life imploded in a series of events I could've never imagined.Last week, I traveled into Africa alone, today.I moved my stuff out

Someone I know had this happen to them, a cake was baked for her... She couldn't eat it then and there, she forgot it at someone else's place and that person ate it. That other person fell desperately ill for weeks. Take what you will from that.

I said something to my husband and he legit said love you're going to make me cry... I said it again differently and he left the table...there were definite tears. Affirm the person who loves your heart.
Sweeping as meditation.. A thread.
One morning my mom asked me to help her sweep the front yard... And not with a normal stick broom.. With a traditional Setswana broom. You see, my mom and I had been having a bad week.. As alpha females under one roof often will...
Until he's your toxic brother who ruins all the family gatherings and brings uncouths to the dinner table, steals, swears at everyone and behaves like nothing ever happened when he's sober. No please. Not my children's portion.
Year 36. Day 1.
If your life was a painting.. What would you want it to look like? Grateful. For love, for good health and family. It really is what it is all about. ❤️ Happy birthday to me.
35 is a number.. It is experience, it is pain, trauma, healing, love, learning and growing and glowing the fuck up... 35 is a dawning... A rising of the fucking sun in your life. It is I, I am 35.

Would you go to a relationship therapist to work through your own issues with intimacy and control. Power and initiation? Love and sadness? Worthiness? Kick starting your own mojo? I did... About 5 years ago. It saved my mind.
One of the defining moments of my relationship with my husband was when my father passed on. As I walked into the yard after the funeral.. He was there, dirty, sweaty after being at the pots all night with my uncles..listen. I know this feeling. It's primal. ❤️
There's something about indoda yakho wearing iiOverall looking dusty, slaughtering a cow, sweating from head to toe Emcimbini🥺 Aze kuwe in the kitchen athi "Mnt'wam ndicela iFadukhwe tu" 😍😭😭
Do you know why black teachers are important?
Because your children learn to respect authority beyond a yt face. Because yt faces learn to respect black authority. The little boy I had to call out 80% of the time, had no respect for me because all he knew was TA's and domestics.
I just want to kiss all day... In between waking up kisses, chasing each other around the house kisses, in between strokes kisses, making breakfast kisses, finding you at the fridge door kisses... Lying on the couch kisses... 😍😍😍 Kissing is spiritual food.
Grade R is read too differently than grade 1,2 and 3...Grade R are picture books only, grade 1, one or two sentences per page.. 2 mini paragraphs and 3 semi independent reading... What children need instead of watching the face of the reader is the book page for page...

My husband owns a house that belonged to my dad's friend who's bullet ricochet and killed him while cleaning a gun. The one day, i felt the blankets being pulled up to cover me. Hubs wasn't home. I woke up, thanked them and asked them not to do it again. He's cool though. 🤭🙃
A parent just called me, saying her child is distraught at my leaving, but also appreciative of the love I gave her child during this year while she had to undergo a corneal transplant. She says a teachers love is one of the most crucial things in a child's life. I...😭😭😭
I see and hear and use the love languages theory... My question is are you fluent in your own and how willing are you to be fluent in another's? Again and again, and again... It changes over time. You have to keep learning and unlearning.
Do you remember the HIV protocol? The ABC of HIV? Abstain, Be faithful, Condomize?
Be wise, Condomize?
In asking because the Covid 19 protocol is similar really. Stay home, practice social distancing when out, wash your hands for 20 secs, wear a mask. It's not the same but it is.

The relationship needs to be seasoned.. Honestly. Like a good skillet.. Years of learning and unlearning what a relationship is and isn't what space is, and what it isn't. We miss each other terribly.. But in a healthy way. I wouldn't honestly have it any other way...
When we first bought this piece - people were sceptical about what we wanted to do with it. It was okay in the first space... It is entirely fantastic now. 😍😍😍
My person and I moved into our new house yesterday. (I know.. We moved into our first new house in August) but this move was different... Our first night in the house was different.. Besides the downpour yesterday, my person prayed over us, all of us. Ya'll 😭😭😭😭😭
Ma 2000, a lot of them take the pill and go at it raw. We were saved by the ABC of HIV. They don't know about PrEP and they are over exposed generally. I have an 18 year old who thinks just the pill is okay... There is a generation gap of sexual health education... It's nyiwing.
Oh, I didn't put my face for the soiree on here... Stephy did the things. However.. And it's a big however.. I adjusted my brows to how I prefer them when I got to the hotel. Room light vs sunlight. ❤️
Once in a while, get your face beat to the gawds my love.

You know Lebo, it's taken years. Seasoning of sorts. Building of trust, understanding space. Knowing your own needs. And who holds the power dynamic in terms of parenting. Who is the voice and who is the auxiliary parent... We share roles. We video call every morning...
When was the last time you jumped into a pool, sober, light hearted and free? Fully dressed.With nothing to prove or lose?
Today, at the class party.I realized how even as parents,we know how to do things but just don't do them.
I didn't plan it, but memorable moments aren't.
This time next year, I'll be a mom of three, wife, published author of adult fiction and 6 Setswana children's books and successfully passed my first year of a law degree. Date :28/11/2019.
Of said storage... 28 Feb 2014- 30 Aug 2018.... It's been a long way... At some point I thought of selling it.. My furniture.. But today, I've never been happier to have put it away for later. Later does come. 😭
And in retrospect, did you grow into your dream? You cannot wish it and not work it. For the person I visualized myself being, other parts and people in my life had to die... Some to be reborn, some to never return.
Bandile spoke out of his neck while being recorded. The blue eyed boy of tge Health Department in Gauteng has been shown for his disdain of public health care. I saw that clip. Zikhona was well within her scope. He just got caught being himself. Thats all.
Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku might have publicly apologised for his utterances about the overcrowded maternity ward at the Mamelodi Hospital in Pretoria, but is taking legal action against eNCA reporter Zikhona Tshona
I want to feel the fuzzies of a somersaulting baby in my belly... The lone conversations in prayer over a yet to be born miracle... The steady hand of my lover holding the small of my back... The joy of imcubating life and delivering another star seed into the world. ❤️
The blind spot is a real thing.. Drive slower when you're angry. No one can drive except you, when it's raining. Don't scare people with L's on their cars, you'll go to hell.

Have you ever been in someone's bed and their ghosts came to you in your sleep. I'm not talking hoe ghosts. Like the person's negative entities? Iyooo... There was a man I was seeing once, I could never fall asleep at his place because he was carrying a lot of things...

Seeing a person you care about fall apart is devastating, it's not your business to fix it... They can tell you but you don't own it.

The one who's actually being initiated has a spirit vibe about her..The rest not so much.. Ke di strooi meisie. Watch her feet, her body, her face... She's in trance... Spirit isn't owned by anyone. She's receiving a modality.
