My story
Hey you,
I’m from a cute little coastal city at the tip of South Africa called Port Elizabeth, Gqeberha. But we just call her PE and everyone else calls her The Windy City. It blows, probably 358 days of the year.
I recently found my passion for creating again and this is what this website is about and where I will share more of my craft. My wish is to be able to bring joy into your life with what it is that I do here. Be it photography, art, hand crafts or just a place for you to retreat as you embrace your own creative passions.
I asked a few of my closest friends to use one word to describe me. Well of course, few listened and they just babbled along…This is what they gave me…
- Exuberant
- Sister
- Confidant
- Loyal
- Cray cray Lite
- Brave
- Magical
- Motivating
- Inspirational
- Fun
- Kind
- Enthusiastic
- Loud (LOL)
- Adventurous
- Resilient
- Fantabulous
I asked my husband the same question and his first response was mad. (I belly laughed)
Mad, vibrant, generous, a little loopy (but the best kind), checklist for the checklist of the checklist.
Why did I ask this, well it’s really difficult to see oneself from the other side. We always nitpick the negative. The people who love you are the ones that see your best side. I encourage you to do this exercise. You will be pleasantly surprised. It’s not about being vain, but about seeing you for how others see you. That’s how you really show up in the world and that’s what really matters
My mantra
My Mind is Strong
My Heart is Brave
My Soul is Fierce
My Spirit is Free
