Oh my, I'm looking back at 2013 and for the first time I can clearly see how amazingly trans-formative it has been. But first, here's a quick personal biography about me. This will give you more insight + understanding about the journey I've had thus far... I'm a country girl born in Namaqualand that always wanted to be a model because I was tall and thin, not because I felt beautiful. I also had a lot of critic + self esteem issues because of this - I stood out like a sore thumb and for a while I was the victim of abusive boyfriends, bullying etc. You could say that I've had a bit of a tragic start in life, my grandfather who've been my only true father committed suicide when I was about 6, so I grew up being the sensitive child, furthermore in terms of my biological father, well he treated me like the less favourite toy in the box.
He just could not show love towards me, well I guess he had his own issues. So you see I've dealt with a lot of rejection, which for a very long time sapped my enthusiasm and zest for life. You could say that for a long time I was without direction, I was just so stuck in my inner turmoil, trying to find myself + trying to understand the world around me. In order to find healing I've seen a few counsellors + read some awesome life-coach books but long story short, the great shift came when I gave my life to Jesus. I went through the whole baptising thing when I was 23. So you see, where others believe in the universe and drinking green juice for breakfast, I believe in the power of praying to Jesus. And might I ad with some magical results too. To this day I love watching Spiritword - forget about stardust and glitter, this is the real thing. Here you'll find some real miracles. :)
And after those lost wandering years things became gooood. Not that I'm a total goodie two shoes, I love Pina Colada's way too much, but you know what I mean. I gained more focus + vision and I started to see my life with more clarity. Slowly but surely things fell into place and 2013 I would say became A Year of Magic and here's why....
- Well first of all it's the year I turned 29, realising that I wanted to do more in a short time, whether it's travelling, creating a business or just embracing my new found clarity.
- I actually saw my face in Glamour Magazine. This for me was clearly a sign that God sometimes give you even the desires of your heart.
- I've also turned my side hustle into Social Media Blooms. It's my little internet baby...
- In the same year I had a break-up and then got engaged to my long-term boyfriend.
- During this 3 month break-up I had a blast, yep really. I basically had a stunning holiday in Cape Town and created a fresh start. I totally spoiled myself with fabulous adventurous weekends and outings. I had lots of luxurious long Lush bubble-baths accompanied by big glasses of bubbly.
- I also attended this fab internship at a web-development company to further my career.
- Most importantly, I fell inlove with myself, my life and the potential that I realised I have. And you know what, I've just overall reached a good place in my life. I know that I will be fine, come what may.
