This morning I was listening to a podcast about a freelancer that build her own brand.

Well, as easy as it may seem or sound I know for sure that a building a successful brand will take years.

This podcast was an inspiration to me to have the ‘afraid’ topic for today’s blog.

Why are we afraid? To tell the truth, I am also afraid when I want to start something new. But, sometimes I just need to do it to know if it’s going to work for me.

Many years back I was very interested in personal coaching for teens and teenagers so I started a coaching workshop at the local gym. It was starting to show some profit after a few months of training. I also included photography in these workshops and helped the students to build better confidence.

After a year I decided to focus more on the photography, so I set up a studio and start to practice baby photography on my new born son.

Then one thing led to the other and I am now doing photo shoots for families, models, products, corporates, etc

Seeing that I always was interested in arts and practicing arts in different mediums, it became clear to me to give art sessions to adults and children on a freelance basis. Although these session are not profitable for now, I enjoy watching people create and having fun.

I never felt afraid to do the things that I love to do, maybe it was just the worry if it will be successful.

Thank God that things went in the directions that were meant for me and still going.

Ladies, do what you love and do not be afraid. Challenge yourselves.

I recently came across an article about Queen Rania in a Harper’s Bazaar magazine where she explains why she made a conscious decision to be outspoken.

Queen Rania is an inspiration to many women, but especially the Arabian women. I wish I could share the whole article with you but it is a few pages long.

There is one thing that she mentioned in the interview that definitely stood out for me and I quote her saying “the greatest support a women can get is from another successful women who lifts her up and tells her ‘you can dream, you can succeed’.

In the UAE and many other countries there’s a huge ladies expat community. It can be a challenge to adapt to a new way of living for many, but with the support of ladies clubs and networking events it can become easier to adapt to your new lifestyle.

Many ladies all over the world are also in need of support with life challenges like divorce, health, mental etc.

Do whatever you can to positively impact others everyday.

Have a lovely day

Are you at peace with yourselves?

If you know you are doing something wrong, this will make you miserable. Only the truth will set you free.

There is a lot of things in life that can make us stumble, it is better for us to life without things that does not really give us peace of mind.

Make the right decisions now and stop putting them off. One day we will give account to the way we have lived.

Go upward and onward, move forward to make progress in your life. Do not live for the moment, tomorrow will come and you need to be prepared for it.

Invest your time to create a beautiful life for yourselves. Get rid of the things in your life that does not make you feel happy, deal with it right now!

When we know we are not doing things in the right way, it will always bother us until we let go of it.

Live, Life, Love

What a match! SA won against England in the World Cup rugby. Well done to both teams! #worldcuprugby2019 #humble #positives #humility

I’m sure all South African supporters are celebrating Big time. Thanks to God for guiding the Springbokke and giving them strength to play against the team of England.

Sometimes in life we will win and sometimes we will lose, whatever the case might be we should stay humble.

To be humble means to to treat everyone with dignity and respect even if you had a win or are successful in your business.

Stay humble when you are losing, even if it’s hard to cope with what is going on in your life. Focus on the positives and know that things will eventually work out for the better.

Humility is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Enjoy the rest of your lovely day,
