Nobody is you and that is your power – that’s my message to the world
Today I reminded that all of us are blessed in different ways we just have to figure out which ways we are blessed and how it can help people

Today I would like to share a powerful statement by Catherine Constantinides about Morocco’s plunder of Western Sahara’s natural resources – Western Sahara has been illegally occupied by Morocco since 1975 due to the fact that Western Sahara is rich in natural resources.
“This is for the lost, the left out, the looked over
The ones who fight wars, the true soldiers
For the ones who keep marchin’ on
This is for the highs, that our eyes could not believe in
The woes, the low blows, we won’t give in”
– The Script, “Underdog”
Recently I heard “Underdog” by The Script it’s such a good song I had to share
Sometimes we just need a break – that’s what I’ve realized
I haven’t blogged in a few days simply because I’ve had nothing to say the second half of 2019 has been like a punch in the gut the temporariness of life has left me reeling I’m still trying to find my footing maybe we can find it together

Today our Rugby World Champions, the Springboks, stopped at our city on their Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour people lined the streets dancing, singing waiting for the team bus to pass by so we could catch a glimpse of the team and the trophy – my dad had to put me on his lap in the car for me to be able to see anything but in the end we got it done
“There are billions of us on this planet if each of us picked up one piece of plastic every day we could be living in a completely different world.” – Frank Solomon
Today I watched CORONA X PARLEY STREET SURFERS – an amazing documentary (powered by Corona and Parlay ) in which Surfer Frank Solomon shows us how surfing intersects with that of thousands of waste pickers known as Street Surfers who help keep South Africa’s oceans plastic-free. Watch CORONA X PARLEY STREET SURFERS below:
Place a value on things money can’t buy that way even when you may be broke you won’t be poor – that’s my massage to the world
Today I would like for us to take a moment to understand that less is more and to place a value on things money can’t buy that way even when we may be broke we won’t be poor
Start from the end and work backwards – that’s my message to the world
Some
people spend Friday nights watching series I write my future obituary to remind
myself what kind of person I want to be and all the things i want to accomplish
Nisha Varghese (1991-Hopefully A LONG TIME FROM 2019)
Nisha Varghese is survived by her loving family. Nisha was kind, compassionate, generous, courageous, loyal, honest and fair. She appreciated everything, expected nothing and when she was on your side you truly felt it – she spared no effort or expense to make family, friends and sometimes strangers feel loved and appreciated. Nisha travelled the world, met new people and lived as though everything was a miracle because to her it was. She lived to make a difference and inspire others to do the same but what she did not realize was that the difference she made in the world was also making her. Nisha lived fully!

Dance to the beat of your own drum don’t fall in line with society’s norms when you’re not ready because you think it’s what you’re supposed to do – that’s my message to the world
