I Am Back
After spending 10 days in the wonderful area of Knysna, which is up the Cape Garden Route, I feel refreshed and ready for new challenges. Not to say that a holiday with two children is altogether relaxing but a new environment can bring new perspective to your life. Family holidays are definitely a time to build on those treasured memories.
Whilst away, I decided not to write anything, hence the lack of content over the past week and a bit. I found writing is a lot like running, you do need to take some time off once in a while, to regain your strength and come back even stronger.
I will post a detailed account of my time away in Knysna but for now I will limit my post to a few quotes for the week.
These words are very pertinent in the struggle, I find I am in, constantly trying to keep grounded in this world of ever increasing expectations. We all want to leave a legacy for our children but we need to remember that it is the ‘here and now’ that is so important.
“Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be.” – David Bly
“If parents pass enthusiasm along to their children, they will leave them an estate of incalculable value.” – Thomas Edison
Black & White
I love these rather retro black and white images. I find photography such an inspiration and I am always amazed at how the most simple subject matter can be so beautiful.
Friday's Quote's
[quote style=”1″]Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau[/quote]
Today I would like to encourage you, not to lose sight of your dreams. Be inspired and motivated to live your life as you always imagined it. God intends great things for all of us, so never lose sight of this. Life brings us so many challenges but we need to look beyond this. Keep believing and know that everything happens for a reason; to shape and mould us for our great destiny.
Have a wonderful Friday and a peaceful weekend. ‘Dream big’!

[quote style=”1″]To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.– Ralph Waldo Emerson[/quote]
