sunday mornings at the local nursery tea garden

jacaranda's - they're lining the streets of joburg - like lilac snow flakes brightening up the dull city streets

reconnecting with old friends and connecting with new friends

self esteem ~ the way you see it

your self esteem is not eroded by the judgements of those around you or what people say to you... its eroded by your own judgements of yourself and what you say to yourself, when the other person walks away....

things i learnt this weekend

• Moët Chandon tastes better when someone randomly buys a bottle for you

• There are times when we hurt the ones we love even though we don’t mean to
• Sometimes there isn’t a “right” thing to say

• Running in the rain is so much fun – especially balancing on a pair of heels
• Being there for your friends, and listening to their same stories over and over is all they need Everyone wants to belong to someone
