Finally, there was only one other family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big Read More

I couldn’t resist myself and asked, ”Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?” ”Why would I do that?” he asked. ”Well, then you won’t have to spend an hour here for things like making Read More

Write … just write
I’m taking part in a 5 day writing challenge at The Writers College. The first day’s challenge almost had me quitting. But my mother didn’t raise cowards! We take a challenge head on!

Sedert my seun in laerskool was, was daar verskeie mense van wie ek gehoor het wat hulle kinders tuisonderrig het. Op laerskool is dit seker makliker om dit te doen as op hoërskool, maar ek het nog nooit daarvoor Read More
The power within
When a person puts you in a position where they want to manipulate you, get out as fast as you can. Manipulators never ever change in their entire life. No matter what they are trying to make you believe about them. They also do not understand that NO is a full sentence and actually has a meaning. Manipulators do not Read More
You may have fallen, but …
… you can always get up. You could have made mistakes, but you can always correct it. You might have trusted too much. You might have given too much of yourself, but you can always get up. PS: But please, never ever be the one to make others fall! Karma is a bitch!
You become what you think about …

Klub 99
Skrywer: Onbekend Eendag lank, lank gelede was daar ’n koning wat ten spyte van sy luukse lewenswyse nooit gelukkig of tevrede was nie. Op ’n dag kom hy een van sy onderdane teë wat vrolik sing terwyl hy sy werk verrig. Dit het die koning vreeslik gefassineer. Hoekom was hy, die opper heerser van die koninkryk so ongelukkig en mismoedig, Read More

Dag 74 – 125 dae van dankbaarheid
deur Reneé Smit Dankbaar vir… Ek is baie lief vir diere. Inteendeel, soms spot ek dat ek liewer is vir diere as vir mense. Ek is dankbaar vir die voorreg om diere te kan hê.
