Hey everyone

I hope you guys enjoy this post just as much as I enjoyed making it. If you had a bad day then hopefully this will make it better.

Hey everyone

I hope all the father’s had an amazing day filled with love and joy. To me, a dad is every girls own personal superman, a man they can look up to, take advice from and to be their ultimate protector. I know that my dad is definitely my ultimate protector.

My mom, my dad and I started the day off by going to the shops to get supplies for the Father’s Day lunch. My dad made some boerie rolls on the braai and after we had that delicious cupcakes afterwards, and lets not forget the glasses of wine that were going around. As we always do, we ended the braai with a cup of coffee and all my dads chocolates.

What did you guys do to celebrate today?

Hi everyone

Sorry it has taken me so long to write to you. I hope you all had an excellent Tuesday, I know I definitely did.

I have started learning about Reiki again and I would love to share some of it with you, because I think it is the most beautiful and interesting way of healing your mind, body and soul. Now I would love to explain every single thing about Reiki, however there is unfortunately not enough time , so for today I will be focusing on the 6 benefits of Reiki.

• Transformative – This leads to lift- changing shifts in your mindset. It reveals your authentic self and purpose and it helps create a more abundant life.
• Creates Balance- This tunes into energy on a quantum level. It harmonises physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers of your being.
• Supports Well Being and Healing- This clears blockages and removes unwanted energy so that you feel renewed, centred, and more resilient, and also helps to relieve pain.
• Safe and Complementary- Reiki is non-intrusive and can be used alongside conventional medicine and other therapies to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
• Deepens Intuition- This can be adapted to any situation, challenge, or problem. This enriches everyday life and relationships.
• Daily Self-Care- This provides deep relaxation and better quality sleep. Relieves stress anxiety, and increases mental vitality and clarity.

So those were all of the benefits of using Reiki. I hope you enjoyed learning with me and I will most definitely be making a Reiki post again.

I will now end with a quote from the greater of Reiki Mr Mikao Usui: “Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, do not anger. Honor your parents, teachers and elders. Earn your living honestly. Show gratitude to everything”.

If there is light in the soul, there is beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, there is harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace on earth.

Feng Shui is about purifying the circulation in the air in your home and especially in your bedroom and workspace. Clearing and un-cluttering the space around you, strategically positioning your furniture, ornaments and plants to create balance and the free flow of energy is an essential part of Feng Shui as well as burning medical plants. This is a very effective way to treat infections, especially infections in your lungs, brain and skin. It also releases negative ions, that have been linked with states of harmony, balance and happiness.

I have been getting a lot of headaches lately and I haven’t really been sleeping well. So in order to get good Feng Shui in my bedroom, I am going to declutter my room so that it feels more open. I will also be removing my TV and other electrical appliances from my bedroom in order to get a good nights sleep and finally get rid of my headaches.

Hey everyone

Hey everyone

Today I have decided to to talk to you about generations, specifically Millennials and Gen X. Millennials are the people who are born between the years of 1981 and 2000, Gen X people are born between the years of 1961 and 1980.

There are a lot of differences between these two generations. This is what the Gen X people are like in the workplace;

• They value work life balance
• They need independence
• They prefer task based work
• They view promotions as earned rewards
• They see technology as a learned skill

This is what the Millennials are like in the workplace;

• They believe in civic duty
• They are team players
• They need regular feedback
• They see managers as equals
• They view technology as integral

There are many different ways to manage these two generations. For Gen X people, the way you can manage them is;

• Let them focus on task based projects
• Let them have a life when they are not at work.
• Give them new technology
• Let them work independently
• Speak to them directly and give them purpose
• Encourage them embrace their entrepreneurial skills

The way to manage Millennials are;

• Let them make a difference in the world
• Put them in a team setting
• Listen to their ideas and use them
• Allow them to work hard and then leave work on time
• Give regular feedback
• Encourage them to be creative

These are all of the basic differences between Millennials and Gen X people.

I am a Gen X person because I was born in 1999. What generation are you guys from ?

If my life were a bubble, I would be living in the country and dancing all the time. It would be filled with all of my memories and my favourite things. I would be sitting down in my beautiful green garden meditating and practicing Reiki with all of the plants and flowers around me.

If my life were a bubble, it would be peaceful all the time and I would have no worries because it would be a place just for me to breathe and do all the things I love to do. My bubble is my safe haven.

I would be floating around in the sky and looking down at all of my friends and family, making sure they are staying safe and happy.

My life would be constantly changing and I would be visiting new and exciting places, because when your life is in a bubble… anything can happen, you are in charge of what happens, and I would let my imagination run free.

Hey everyone

Today I want to make a post about this beautiful country that we live in.

Yes there have been some bad things that have happened in South Africa such as robberies, pollution etc.

I feel like all the bad things have started to over shadow the good things and I would just like to remind you all of the good things about this country.

The photo that I have attached to this post is from when my mom, my dad, my nana and I went to the Kruger National Park. That was the first time I had been to the Kruger and I loved every minute of it. Seeing the big five and all the birds and other animals was just incredible and I cannot wait to go back. Just by looking at this picture you can see that this is what South Africa is all about. It is about the wildlife and the flowers and greenery.

Every now and then, take a moment and think about all the things you love about South Africa.
