Sisters doing it for themselves, my inspiration...

My biggest dream has always been to be my own boss, open up a business, do what I love and make a success out of it. There have been doubts in my mind about whether I would be able to turn that dream into a reality until I realised that strong women in business had the same fears when they started their empires. I am HUGELY inspired by Stoned Cherrie founder and MD, Nkhensani Nkosi. She is graceful and has made a huge name for herself in the fashion industry. She boasts a mantelpiece of awards, the most rewarding as a business woman being The Top Success Story of The Year – Top Women in Business And Government 2005. Other awards include The Young Business Achiever of the Year – Young Business Quarterly (2003).
Despite everything she has achieved she manages to remain grounded and she doesnt flaunt her achievements.

One other woman that inspires me is Khany Dlomo, she has achieved so much and has takled the male dominated world of business with such poise and class. She was editor of True Love magazine for eight years and has numerous awards under her belt. She was named most influential woman in South African Media by The Media Magazine in 2003 and made the 2011 Forbes list of 20 Young Power Women in Africa.She is currently the founding member of Ndalo Media which she founded in 2007. She is also founder of DestinyConnect and the Founding Editor of Destiny Magazine.

FRIENDS!

A wise man once said: "When true friends meet in adverse hour;
'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower.
A watery way an instant seen,
The darkly closing clouds between."

In my lifetime i have met a lot of people, some adding value to my life and some have been liabilities, lol. With that said I would like to introduce you to my people, the people that make me tick, the people that are always there, the people that care and love me deeply.

Memoirs of insomnia 1

Love has made me happy, made me feel invincible, on top of the world  and made me see colour in everything I see
Love has taught me about the complexities of life, made me gain wisdom far beyond what I had imagined
Love has deceived me, abused me, used me and sucked every ounce of life I had until I was an empty shell
Love has so many times made me forget who I was, it turned me into someone I had vowed I would never become
Love has brainwashed me, like a political propagandist, it  made me believe all the lies it sold me about happy endings and being inlove
Like a lamb to the slaughter I sheepishly followed until....
Love hurt me!
 
 

La Familia!

I have been blessed with a great family, sisters that have been with me through thick n thin. A brother that makes me appreciate the little things in life. Parents that love and care for us dearly and sisters that are my best friends. Not forgetting my little boy, he is my everything! Enjoy!!!

Me and the love of my life Oarona Thando Pholo, the apple of mommy's eye!

Oarona and my brother Motebang, the "man of the house"

My older sister and fashionista Sandiswa Lineo Mahlangabeza.

My sister and my nieces Sinokholo Bokamoso "Snowy, Snowflake" Mahlangabeza and Agcobile Marang "AG the terrorist" Mahlangabeza. Makazi's gems.

Last but not least my lil sissy Limakatso "Dee" Pholo, she now stays in JHB. I miss her wisdom and quirky remarks to everything.


That's my familia in a nutshell!!!


Love them to bits

memoirs of insomnia

I can only sit here and dream
Dream of butterflies, cotton candy and clear blue skies
Dream of what coulda, shoulda, woulda
But I cant, I gotta make things happen for myself
See, I am not the type that takes things as they come
I had mapped out my path, put all my ducks in a row
Like a ship without a rudder, Im sitting here, thinking, plotting scheming
I need light, I need direction, I gotta know where I am going
I gotta do this, I need to do this!
I hope my courage doesnt fail me....

Allow me to introduce myself

uhm, ja where do I start?

oh ja, I have been wanting to do this for a while now, in my hey day I used to document everything. My hopes, dreams, fears and everthing else that I found interesting. After a very long time and many life lessons I have decided to move on with the times and start a blog!So I will be posting stuff as regularly as I can and I cannot wait to get started.

Here goes nothing......

All my love,

Umuhle
