Hey everyone

The week of Tuesday the 1 December I had to go to hospital. For a while before that I had a sore tummy but I thought it was just my lady cramps, but then they got worse. So on Tuesday I went to the doctor and she told me to get a Sonar and it turns out that I had Acute Appendicitis 🙈

Last week I have had to overcome so many challenges that I have been avoiding such as as having the Covid test because I was going into hospital , when the doctor told me I had to have that test I literally thought I was going to burst into tears 😂 but I did it and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. On that same day I had to have surgery to take my appendix out, let’s just say it was a very eventful day. I stayed in hospital for the rest of the week because the doctor wanted to do a CT scan. This week I have been put out of my comfort zone loads of times but the thing that kept me going was my family and all of their support and the fact that I knew I was going home soon.

I realized that having a goal or even something positive to think about makes everything easier and better 😊 I have a huge dislike for hospitals which is why I am over the moon happy that I am finally home with my family and friends, it’s like they say “there’s no place like home”.

Hey everyone

A lot of people are afraid of change, mainly because we are so used to what our lives are currently like, we get nervous to even think about what the change means and the effect it will have on us.

Instead of being nervous to take chances and make change, you should strive to make a positive change in your life and when something does change, you must embrace it and look at it as a positive think.

Remember you are in charge of your own life.

I would like to end this post off with a quote by the amazing Louise Hale:

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. Change is the natural law of my life. I welcome change. I am willing to change. I choose to change the worlds I use. I move from the old to the new with ease and with joy. It is easier for me to forgive than I thought. Forgiving makes me feel free and light. It is with joy that I learn to love myself more and more. The more resentment I release, the more love I have to express. Changing my thoughts makes me feel good. I am learning to choose to make today a pleasure to experience. All is well in my world”.

Hey everyone

This weekend was one of the best weekends, mainly because it was my moms 50th yesterday and so it has been a celebration weekend.

Friday was a really busy day for me, I had my nephew over as usual, I went to a dancing lessons, had some ice cream at the ice cream parlour in my estate and then at the end of the day I went to go meet the children that I am babysitting tomorrow. Saturday wasn’t too busy during the day, but was really busy in the evening because that is when we had the street party for my moms birthday. It was so much fun, we had drinks, food and music. Sunday was a very chilled day because we were getting over the excitment of last night, my aunty and uncle came to our house for coffee and my parents and I went to the clubhouse for breakfast.

That was my weekend shenanigans.

Hey everyone

I hope you are all enjoying this hot weather we are having and are drinking lots and lots of water.

Today I was going to write a blog post on forgiveness and why it is important to forgive yourself and other people, but I decided to instead write about goals and why it is important to have them.

A goal is something that you hope to achieve in the future. At the beginning of every year almost all of us make our new year resolutions that we hope to achieve, sometimes we do and sometimes we do not.

My goals are very basic but require a lot of hard work and effort, however certain events happen that tend to change our goals a bit, and no I am not only talking about the lockdown that we went through. My goals are to get more fit, and I am doing that by playing tennis with my dad and I am also going to start a fitness schedule for myself, and even though I am not at my fittest just yet, I am sure on the road to becoming fit. My second goals is to be able to do the splits, now this is a more difficult one as you cannot just do the splits in one year, it takes years to be able to get the flexibility, but I am working on it by doing flexibility stretches. I want to become the best dancer I can possibly be, and I am trying to make that happen by practicing a lot. This last goal I am going to tell you about has changed a lot and that is to be able to get a job and stick with it, the reason why that goal is changing a bit is because, not only do I not have a job where I am working for somebody else, but I have actually started my own business with my mom called Color Wave, at the moment we are selling Diamond Painting Kits, but at some point want to move onto more things, I never thought I would become self employed, but I must admit it is so amazing being my own boss.

Enough about my goals though, I want to hear about your guys goals, so if you are busy reading this post then tell me what your goals are because I would love to hear about them. If you want to contact me at all then you can send me a DM on my Instagram account @kellys_daily_blog or Message me on Facebook on my Facebook page called Kellys Daily Blog.

Thanks to all of my loyal readers, I love all of you and hope you have an incredible day filled with love and joy, and don’t forget to make those goals and tell me about them.

Happy Monday everyone

I hope you all have the best day and a great start to the week. I can already feel this week is going to be a good week 🙂

Here’s a quote to start the week off right

“Be successful in all that you do this week… have confidence and set your goals, yes, you’ve go this” by Heather Stillufsen

Hey everyone

Today is finally Friday and we all chill on the couch and do absolutely nothing, that is of course if you are not a hairdresser or work at a food store 😂

I hope you have a fantastic Friday and weekend

Hey everyone

I hope you have all been having a great week so far and are enjoying the heat.

Today I want to talk about loving yourself. I have always been the type of person that says that you have to love yourself before you can even try to love somebody else, and I think that is the key point in any relationship.

If you do not love yourself then you will always be putting pressure on yourself to “be better” or “look prettier” therefore your life will never truly be your best life and you will struggle to be happy. When you love yourself, that is when you will have a happy life and find enjoyment in the smallest of things.

When you look in a mirror and you see your reflection, do you think to yourself “I am happy with how I look and feel” or do you think to yourself “I am not enough”. If the answer is that you are not enough then try and change that negative into a positive and tell yourself that you are enough and then you will slowly but surely start to believe it. The mind works in mysterious ways, and sometimes the change comes and you don’t even notice it.

I would like to end this post off with a quote

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I am always divinely protected and guided. It is safe for me to look within myself. It is safe for me to look into the past. It is safe for me to enlarge my viewpoint of life. I am far more than my personality past, present or future. I now choose to rise above my personality problems to recognise the magnificence of my being. I am totally willing to learn to love myself. All is well in my life”.

Hey everyone

I was reading one of my favourite self help books the other night and found a passage that was so inspiring to me.

Your mind is a very powerful weapon, it determines your actions and thoughts. When something bad happens to you, it is normally due to you having a negative thought, the more you think that thought, the more you are going to think that your mind has to think that thought, but that is not true because believe it or not, your mind has chosen to think that thought. I used to be the type of person that thought negative thoughts, I still am sometimes, that is mostly due to anxiety but I am working on changing this through self help books, Reiki, using my family as positive influences and thinking correctly.

If you want something positive to happen then you need to choose to think a positive thought, because at the end of the day, your life is made up of “mind over matter”.

For example; if you think to yourself “I am going to pass my English exam” then you will most likely pass it, if you believe it fully. If you think to yourself “I am not going to pass this English exam” then the chances of you passing are very slim. My dad always says that anything you say after the words “I am” will happen. If you say something negative after those words then something negative will happen, if you think something positive after those words then something positive will happen.

When you wake up in the morning, you should start the day with at least 1 positive thought.

Hey everyone

There are 3 words to describe my holiday at the Pilanesberg

• Incredible
• Relaxing
• Interesting

On the 28 September I went on holiday to the Pilanesberg and stayed at Bakubang with my mom, dad, aunty and uncle. We stayed in a beautiful chalet and had the best time ever. When we went on game drives we saw Leopards, Rhinos, Elephants, Baboons, Monkeys, Zebras and Giraffes.

My uncle leant me his camera to take pictures of our trip and I had the time of life taking pictures of the animals and all of the scenery, the scenery was truly beautiful, especially when there was a full moon and sunset. We stayed right outside of the park and had Elephants and Warthogs walking past our chalet.

We even had a Monkey in our chalet and he took the spicy chips and started eating them. My parents and I went to go play tennis on the tennis courts at the place we were staying at and then went for a walk around Bakubang.

It was truly a holiday to remember.

Hey everyone

I hope you had a great heritage day yesterday, I loved seeing everyone dressed in their traditional outfits yesterday when I went to the shops and looked on Facebook.

My inspiration for this blog post actually came from a children’s nursery song on CocoMelon (my nephews favourite program), the song is called “What Are You Thankful For”.

There are many different reasons to be thankful for everything that you have in life, but there are always some things that are more important and I feel like we should address those and see why they are so important.

The most important thing that I am thankful for is my family. They have been there for me through thick and thin, when I have am having some of my worse moments, I know I can count on them to make me feel better and help me through it, and when I am having my best moments I know that I can count on them to celebrate with me.

The second thing I am thankful for is the fact that I have a roof over my head and food and drinks on the table. Sadly there are a lot of people out there that don’t have either of these and so we should be grateful that we are blessed with all of our great fortunes

The third thing I am thankful for is the fact that I live in such a safe and beautiful estate, where I can just walk out of my door at anytime of the day and go for a walk around the estate without any worries about my safety.

Those are 3 of the things that I am thankful for.

What are you thankful for?
