The Beginning, My Beginning

In the spirit of spring and new seasons, I decided in August that I would give away most of my clothes to the needy. For the past two weeks I have been clearing out my closet, and it is very funny that I have so many clothes. Most which I haven't worn since last year or since they were bought from a store. I never believed that clearing out your closet could clear out your mind, but it's true.. and what better reason is there to spring-clean your closet than doing it for charity?! In one of my storages, I found my signed matric shirt from 2006...talk about a flash-back. This brought so many memories of high-school, How I couldn't wait to start my final exams and be finished with school. Many hopes and dreams of what my life would and could be like, what I remember the most though is how fear-less I was back then. I knew what I wanted to get out of life and I wasn't scared to go after it. I wasn't afraid of what I would have to face out in the real world, instead I was afraid of staying in the same situation. With that said, those who follow me will notice that I changed the name of my blog from "Finding my voice" to "The Beginning". I'm at a point in my life where I'm going through various changes. Changes in career, business, spirituality and life. Never in my life have I been this sure about what I want and what I need, and the best part about it, is that I'm not scared to go get it. Great things are coming, things I always knew I would do, and now they are finally being realised. Because of all those changes, I truly felt like my blog would only do justice to me if it represented me..the real me. Before finding my 2006 matric shirt, I must admit I was feeling slightly overwhelmed and daunting by all the tasks that I needed to complete, seeing that shirt and reading all the messages from my high-school mates made me realise that I've truly come a long way.
From 18- 24 I had never looked back, this was the first time in 6 years that I took time to reflect on what had happened since I finished my matric. I felt encouraged that I am on the right track and so much more than what I have ever imagined is yet to come. I still want to visit so many other countries than where i have gone thus far, I'm a globe-trotter by nature. When most girls my age are dreaming about finding "Mr Right", getting married and raising kids around a white-picket-fence, I'm dreaming about spending a month in Milan, another one in Paris, then Zurich, New York, Rio, LA, Amsterdam, Egypt and so forth. My travel list is truly a long one. I just want to experience the world at it's fullest, build my Fashion Empire, Buy more Shoes, Wake up at a beach house in Mozambique one day and be in Paris Fashion Week the next day. I want to live..in the totality of that word. On a lighter note though, I'm truly glad that the weather is getting warmer and warmer..Yay for summer! Something totally amazing is happening on this weekend, I'm excited and will share it with you on tuesday. Have a blessed weekend.

Enjoy & Live your Life
