Do not be that person.

There are more people who wish to be loved than there are who are willing to love.

Nicolas Chamfort

True that some people just try to dampen other peoples day. Be the light, choose the light, follow the light!

Yeah life is got its ups and downs. Smile more.

People

People will inconvenience you instead of making your life better.
Kindly make a difference in peoples lives, do not distract them or be an obstacle in their path.

Do not compromise for less than what you deserve.
In life your attitude determines your latitude. At times we learn that it is better to do things ourselves rather than depend on others.

Honestly w just feel like the more we learn to stand on our own two feet, we learn a lot. Live, love, laugh the simple L's. Oh Lord what a life, with its twists and turns. Its Highs and lows. Over and above all else, we hold on to you.

We mean business

Blessed

Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

—Proverbs 31:28-29

OPEN

The snack shack is officially open for business 

We operate from 08:00 to 17:00 at Lekazi e 2 ka Shankie 

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. So all we did was try, at the end of the day its all you can do. We need to realize our generational mission, economic emancipation in our lifetime. It is for us to realise it or betray it.

I am so sleepy today, so Black Friday is lit, the streets are flooded with masses and savings..lucky them. For some of us working towards a dream, we will spectate. Funny how money has become the only trading tool. Happy to report that I bartered the other day.

On that note bring bartering back!

SAVE THE OCEAN.

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

H. P. Lovecraft

Inspired by this quote I found an interesting article of one of my loves, the ocean. One of the most majestic and powerful of all God's creation. A mystery is the ocean, we pay homage to all those who set sail and triedto tame it. All they had out there was the voice of God. 

The Ocean is one of those wonders that will bring you closer to God and remind you just how tiny you are in the greater scheme of life. It reminds you that you know absolutely nothing. Its a come to GOD moment for those who believe in the Lord. 

Or maybe just maybe the reason why you do not believe is because you have never witnessed some of his marvels. God is bigger than you can wrap your head around. The issue is that humans live like they are the only ones in this planet and forsake all else.

Why do humans pollute? How do countries go and throw away their countries trash in the ocean? How do you do that? If you cannot contain it yourself or have run out of ways to get rid of it in your own land, why do you not recognize that you have a problem of excess and fix it? 

We will go into this further as we proceed with our series on saving the ocean. Maybe its because not everyone has seen it. But not everyone has to see  something to have empathy about it. Honestly maybe it will spark some serious group to act out against what is happening. 

Interesting Ocean Facts

Area: about 140 million square miles (362 million sq km), or nearly 71% of the Earth's surface.

Average Depth: 12,200 feet (3,720 m).

Deepest point: 36,198 feet (11,033 m) in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific.

Mountains: The ocean ridges form a great mountain range, almost 40,000 miles (64,000 km) long, that weaves its way through all the major oceans. It is the largest single feature on Earth.


Highest Mountain: Mauna Kea, Hawaii, rises 33,474 feet (10,203 m) from its base on the ocean floor; only 13,680 feet (4,170 m) are above sea level.

48 more facts about our oceans... The oceans occupy nearly 71% of our planet's surface More than 97% of all our planet's water is contained in the ocean The top ten feet of the ocean hold as much heat as our entire atmosphere The average depth of the ocean is more than 2.5 miles The oceans provide 99 percent of the Earth's living space- the largest space in our universe known to be inhabited by living organisms More than 90% of this habitat exists in the deep sea known as the abyss Less than 10% of this living space has been explored by humans Mount Everest (the highest point on the Earth's surface 5.49 miles) is more than 1 mile shorter than the Challenger Deep (the deepest point in the ocean at 6.86 miles) The longest continuous mountain chain known to exist in the Universe resides in the ocean at more than 40,000 miles long The Monterey Bay Submarine Canyon is deeper and larger in volume than the Grand Canyon The Antarctic ice sheet that forms and melts over the ocean each year is nearly twice the size of the United States The average temperature of the oceans is 2ºC, about 39ºF Water pressure at the deepest point in the ocean is more than 8 tons per square inch, the equivalent of one person trying to hold 50 jumbo jets. The Gulf Stream off the Atlantic seaboard of the United States flows at a rate nearly 300 times faster than the typical flow of the Amazon river, the world's largest river The worlds oceans contain nearly 20 million tons of gold The color blue is least absorbed by seawater; the same shade of blue is most absorbed by microscopic plants, called phytoplankton, drifting in seawater A new form of life, based on chemical energy rather than light energy, resides in deep-sea hydrothermal vents along mid-ocean ridges A swallow of seawater may contain millions of bacterial cells, hundreds of thousands of phytoplankton and tens of thousands of zooplankton The blue whale, the largest animal on our planet ever (exceeding the size of the greatest dinosaurs) still lives in the ocean; it's heart is the size of a Volkswagen The gray whale migrates more than 10,000 miles each year, the longest migration of any mammal The Great Barrier Reef, measuring 1,243 miles, is the largest living structure on Earth. It can be seen from the Moon. More than 90 percent of the trade between countries is carried by ships and about half the communications between nations use underwater cables More oil reaches the oceans each year as a result of leaking automobiles and other non-point sources than was spilled in Prince William Sound by the Exxon Valdez Fish supply the greatest percentage of the world's protein consumed by humans Most of the world's major fisheries are being fished at levels above their maximum sustainable yield; some regions are severely overfished The Grand Banks, the pride of New England fishing for centuries, are closed due to overfishing Eighty per cent of all pollution in seas and oceans comes from land-based activities. Three-quarters of the world's mega-cities are by the sea. By 2010, 80 per cent of people will live within 60 miles of the coast. Death and disease caused by polluted coastal waters costs the global economy US$12.8 billion a year. The annual economic impact of hepatitis from tainted seafood alone is US$7.2 billion. Plastic waste kills up to 1 million sea birds, 100,000 sea mammals and countless fish each year. Plastic remains in our ecosystem for years harming thousands of sea creatures everyday. Over the past decade, an average of 600,000 barrels of oil a year has been accidentally spilled from ships, the equivalent of 12 disasters the size of the sinking of the oil tanker Prestige in 2002. Tropical coral reefs border the shores of 109 countries, the majority of which are among the world's least developed. Significant reef degradation has occurred in 93 countries. Although coral reefs comprise less than 0.5 per cent of the ocean floor, it is estimated that more than 90 per cent of marine species are directly or indirectly dependent on them. There are about 4,000 coral reef fish species worldwide, accounting for approximately a quarter of all marine fish species. Nearly 60 per cent of the world's remaining reefs are at significant risk of being lost in the next three decades. The major causes of coral reef decline are coastal development, sedimentation, destructive fishing practices, pollution, tourism and global warming. Less than one half a per cent of marine habitats are protected -- compared with 11.5 per cent of global land area. The High Seas -- areas of the ocean beyond national jurisdiction -- cover almost 50 per cent of the Earth's surface. They are the least protected part of the world. Although there are some treaties that protect ocean-going species such as whales, as well as some fisheries agreements, there are no protected areas in the High Seas. Studies show that protecting critical marine habitats -- such as warm-and cold-water coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves -- can dramatically increase fish size and quantity. More than 3.5 billion people depend on the ocean for their primary source of food. In 20 years, this number could double to 7 billion. Populations of commercially attractive large fish, such as tuna, cod, swordfish and marlin have declined by as much as 90 per cent in the past century. Each year, illegal longline fishing, which involves lines up to 80 miles long, with thousands of baited hooks, kills over 300,000 seabirds, including 100,000 albatrosses. As many as 100 million sharks are killed each year for their meat and fins, which are used for shark fin soup. Hunters typically catch the sharks, de-fin them while alive and throw them back into the ocean where they either drown or bleed to death. Global by-catch -- unintended destruction caused by the use of non-selective fishing gear, such as trawl nets, longlines and gillnets -- amounts to 20 million tons a year. The annual global by-catch mortality of small whales, dolphins and porpoises alone is estimated to be more than 300,000 individuals. Fishing for wild shrimp represents 2 per cent of global seafood but one-third of total by-catch. The ratio of by-catch from shrimp fishing ranges from 5:1 in temperate zones to 10:1 and more in the tropics.  For more on this topic follow this link :  http://savethesea.org/STS%20ocean_facts.htm

TEA

So like a friend of mine and I decided to start a business. YAY us!! But little did we know what a mission it is to start something oh my soul.

Halfway in the middle we are reminded of the blonde who was stranded on an island and had to swim 400 kilometers to the nearest town. She got tired when she reached the 200 kilometer mark and swam  back to the island hahahaha!

Ok so like the same distance she swam back to the island, is the same distance she would have swam to reach her destination and help. Lucky for us we are black magic and are swimming forward because only dead fish go with the flow.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. When we embarked on this journey it sounded easy, I guess there is wisdom in the old African Proverb " molomo o tshela noka e tletse" meaning your mouth can cross a full river. We are swimming in the river holding on to our sanity.

So like the sooner that people understand that they are their own liberators the better. We need to understand the concept of working hard for things that we believe in. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it, BUT it takes a little elbow grease. No one ever got successful by playing small.

On that NOTE get up and stop making excuses. The world is full of dreamers who are too lazy to work for what they want. So like we have broken new ground and are on our way to greatness so cheers to God, the giver of life and everything you ask for.

Some type of way

Ok so I am feeling some kind of way.
Why is it that some friends seem to find joy in your misery.
You can hear the delight in their voice as you narrate your anguish.

verse of the day

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

—Ephesians 3:20-21

Your own story

No one should write your story about you except you. 10 fingers on the Bible.

If you find people interesting, you have a very boring life. Why would you invest so much in other people's lives and not your own.

Brand influencer

When your opinion is the only one that matters but they still don't get it.

There is thunder and lightning. I'm in the chair workin out. So like my other chair is next to the window, uhm where the towels at? Let us cover all the mirrors.

God couldn't be everywhere so he made grandparents, mine died from broken hearts. I miss their warmth vand wisdom. Our time together was too short.

Oh Lord deliver my soul. I need you Lord right now, right now, oh I need you Lord. Jesus done opened the flood gates of heaven the animals are filled. Let all that has breathe praise and exalt God almighty!
