Stop the scroll
How about you join me on this challenge? Set yourself a goal specific to you based on your own life circumstances, and see if you can get to your goal before the year is up. Granted, life often gets in the way, but wouldn't it be nice if we could all give ourselves a little bit of grace and love by doing something just for us? -

Social Media and friendships
The worlds of Facebook, TikTok and Instagram have seen me gain and lose friendships over the years, some were not long lasting and I know others will be forever. Unfortunately, you tend not to know a person's intentions until they make them very clear down the line and, as mentioned in previous posts, I have lost what I thought were genuine friends through copying intellectual property and stealing ideas or designs. It makes you wonder if that was the reason they connected to begin with, or if their intentions were good and they just lost sight of that along the way. -
Copied products and intellectual property
To have designs and ideas clearly stolen and friendships faked and forged to get them is not the same thing. To me it showed a complete lack of respect, kindness and understanding. This affected me for quite a while - I struggled with understanding how someone could do this to someone they supposedly care about, until eventually coming to the realisation that they couldn't so in hindsight I knew it meant they never cared to begin with. -
Business Plan
What did help was the willingness to adapt, to change and adjust accordingly, and to essentially "wing it" through.
All I know is that, right now, we are doing what we want and need to do for the current circumstances we exist in. The most we do for the future is make plans for the days and weeks ahead: booking events; ordering ingredients; making, baking and creating; taking it day by day. Knowing that one day it could all come to a halt, or it could soar, we won't know until we get there.

An all expenses paid holiday, where would you go
Seeing elephants drinking water from natural water pools where people are swimming, giraffes roaming around lodges and lions up close and personal to safari jeeps on TikTok has definitely fuelled this fire a little for sure, but it's somewhere I've always wanted to go for so much more than the animals. I think experiencing the diverse range of authentic African cultures is high up there on reasons why, it would be an amazing learning journey for both Alfie and us adults. -
Travelling on a budget
Travelling is definitely one of my favourite things to do, especially now we have more freedom to do it. I share our travels across my social media pages and I'm often asked how we manage to afford to do it as regularly as we do, considering the current economic climate in this country. -
Why do we only open 2 or 3 days a week?
When I first opened the eatery, before the country came to a halt, we were open full time and I had an on-site manager to oversee everything. It wasn't long after we opened our doors for the first time that we were advised to lock down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. -

Not only because of its numerical value, which looking at it in writing seems pretty high, but also because of the change those numbers have had on my life. -

More and more people are choosing to deregister their children from school to home ed, are you one of them?
Overall this has been a very positive experience for Alfie, Michael and I and we can't wait to see where this progresses and the memories we are able to make along the way. One extra park of all of this has been the time I craved so badly with him, and the reason for setting up my own business, has come back to me in spades and we now get all the time in the world together. -
Do you work to live, or live to work?
I run myself mentally and physically into the ground several years ago! I wanted to end my life at one point, and that is a dark and isolated world to be in. I was drinking lots, I then went onto antidepressants, I started vaping, and I was in menopause, my life felt crap!
