Wake up friends – there’s a mountain to climb!

Ja, I know I’m late but we had to climb a mountain.

Like, an actual mountain.

Today is going to be absolutely epic.

Why? Because I’ve decided it will be - and I believe it!

Not sure who needs to hear this but you are worthy now!

Not when you get that job, not when you lose 10 kilograms, not when people know who you are.

Not if. Not when.

You are worthy of love and belonging now.

Right this minute.

As is.

It’s Monday.

The first "real" working Monday of the year for many.

It's gonna be a tough one for some of us... but I got your back!

Not something I can say often but my email inbox is completely clear.

Not a single email is finding me well, and honestly, I'm living for this.

Dezemba vibes for the win.

I absolutely LOVE seeing all the happy holiday posts on my social media feeds!!!

This is your yearly reminder that Trifle is not a Christmas pudding.

It’s a Boxing Day pudding, specifically a breakfast pudding. And it actually only exists to help with a hangover.

It's my Dad's birthday today.

Or at least it would have been.

And he would have turned 66.

He died, tragically, because he went to a Malaria area over December and didn't take anti-malaria tablets.

It took just 2 days and he was gone.

Just like that.

He was only 52 years old.

Incredibly grateful for this amazing team.

This is the backbone behind Good Things Guy. Every day they make me so damn proud. They live, breathe and put their everything into what they do.

And they are doing it all for you.

For South Africa.

Biggest love. And so much of thankfulness.

❤️

Festive season safety brief:

- Don't add to the population.
- Don't subtract from the population.
- Don't land up in the hospital, newspaper or jail.
- If you land up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
- Oh, and most importantly: be a nice human.

A gentle reminder to just be kind.

This year has been long, incredibly tough, and everyone’s pretty tired. Plus we rarely open up about what we’re really going through. Everyone is fighting in a fight club you know nothing about... because we don’t talk about fight club.

It’s my last day of “school” today.

Well, sort of.

As a business owner, you never stop working. I’ll still be checking my emails, and touching base with my editor (to make sure all the good news keeps being reported on)...

Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life.

"Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you'll see colours in the sky that don't usually belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and the wind in your hair."

I really, really hope you have the best day today.

And if some reason, it’s feeling a little kak, then I hope this message makes it feel a tiny bit better.

Take a deep breath.
Unclench your jaw.
And let your shoulders relax.

Say it with me, “today is gonna be a good day”. ❤️

For the last couple of days, I have felt so overwhelmed by having 3 “twitter” apps on my phone, that I have found myself not using any of them. 👀

Summer is coming (or already here for some), and the last couple of years have been tough on all our bodies but for goodness sake... please get off the scale!!!

That beautiful body has carried you through so much trauma in your life - including a flipping pandemic.

If I could give you one piece of advice today, it would be to love louder.

Love everything you do a little louder.

You woke up this morning... YOU woke up with this amazing gift of a new day right in front of you and a new day brings the world of opportunity for YOU.

You deserve to take up space!

6 words that are powerful. And important.

You are here for a reason. You are not a mistake or an afterthought. You were meant to be here, in this very moment, living your life and sharing your unique light with the world.

Congrats.

We made it to Friday friends. And it’s Dezemba vibes.

You know what to do. 🍾
