Dear family and friends I wanted a country wedding. I wanted to get married in a rough and simple ‘klipkerkie’ on a farm, and have a late Tuscan lunch outside at long tables under trees, with family and friends. I wanted buckets of flowers and rice instead of confetti. I wanted matching rings and a flowy dress and flowers in... Continue reading

Should my church or group have a social media presence? Social Media is for celebrities and large companies and the youth, right? Wrong! Small local companies and organisations with a limited, local market, can find social media a very powerful tool in their marketing strategy. Even a church can reach its congregation and community very well, by using Facebook and... Continue reading

I was about 12-ish. I standard 5, I think. An early teen. Young. Innocent. We were on holiday in Rome - our whole family. We were staying in a hotel. We had breakfast downstairs that morning. I think there was some kind of display in the lobby. Easter eggs, or something. My family was spending some time walking through it.... Continue reading

Hi Mac Thanks for your comment on my blog. I have been a bad blogger lately, and your comment reminded me of why i started blogging. We are approaching the 10 year anniversary of Ronnie's death. It does get easier, and the pain gets less, but there are still situations that we will always miss him. Condolences on your brother's death.

In the dark early morning hours my mind, like an overladen ship, wanders off course and visits unscheduled ports - Doubt, Worry, Sadness, Hurt, Anger and takes on dangerous cargo that makes it list and roll, in danger of capsizing. I have to hand over the rudder, let my Captain take control, for He knows my ship's true course. He... Continue reading

I received this email over the weekend, from Pick n Pay. It was a Valentines Day promo: Really, Pick n Pay? Gifts for HER: flowers (R99,95), DVDs (from R49,99) body care products gift pack (R64,99) and assorted chocolates. Gifts for HIM: iPad2 (from R4999), PSP (R1199), Blackberry Curve (R1599) and assorted chocolates. Is it because men deserve more? Or because... Continue reading

The room is huge. It is noisy. It is filled with lots of people. They are all a-twitter: debating, arguing, and sharing information, all in short bursts. They are following each other. The decor is sparse. The rules are simple. Many guests are scoffing at the social in the much bigger room next door. In that blue room, people are... Continue reading

hi Stef! i am also a bad commenter. i often pop into blogs, like yours, and read several posts at a time, back to the last post that i read at the last visit. many visits are on my phone. so going out of a post to comment, is often a bit of a hassle. i know this is not good, though. we need to get comments, and we need to leave comments.
