Chin up! We are becoming

-

 2020 is almost over... it has been the hardest year ever, right???

What got us through??? Resilience maybe???

Resilience is the ability to handle and recover from stressful situations and crises. It is not simply coping with adversity, but to experience growth and flowering, finding meaning and purpose, experiencing self-awareness and to tasting life in all its flavours.

Remember, resilience is not about overcoming but becoming... 

As already mentioned, it has been the hardest year ever.... So stop...

Yeah, JUST STOP FOR A MOMENT.... THINK and REFLECT.... 

Remind yourself that you did your best and that is all you could do. Pause. Take it all in, the good and the bad...

Acknowledge your losses... But more importantly, acknowledge what you are grateful for.

For me, I am thankful that:

  • I am alive, 
  • My family is safe, 
  • I am still employed, 
  • I am pursuing my dreams, 
  • I am living my truth
Going to 2021, I open my heart to growth, love and peace.

I really hope that the Conversation with Rachel Blog, touches you in some way..... 
Happy Holidays.....

It is time for women unite and be one, speak in one voice in issues that affect the nation. This week I would like to speak life and unity to Inzalabantu. Bafazi lets help each other heal.  Let us celebrate our individualism and the uniqueness in you. Let us hold each others hands in building a nation of bold and assertive women. Life is a journey let us walk side by side through the dark tunnels and the sunny days.  Let’s us mentor each other.  To married women: Let us help prepare the women aspiring to be married for marriage. Let us be honest: Marriage is not easy and not for the faint-heart. Marriage works best when you are one with your spouse. When that union embraces the individual character it builds a strong tea

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. John F. Kennedy Stop making things not work for you. Stop looking for reasons why it doesn’t work or why it will never work for you, instead figure out a way to make good things happen to you. Whenever we try to make changes in our lifestyle, sometimes we doubt ourselves that maybe we can’t do it or it isn’t suitable for us. Why does this happen? It isn’t because of fear but because we don’t believe in ourselves. We aren’t confident enough to keep pushing through to do things we should. We are complacent about our dreams… No idea will work for every single person, but a lot of them can work for most people as long as you believe that you can make them work. Stop wasting your energy to worry. Use what you have to create and grow from what you’ve learned. Guys, you need to put more trust in yourself and believe in the process of things.
