100 days of Happy

We spend so much time worrying about little negative things that don't even bring us joy.
I realised that my happiness has been swallowed by all the negativity surrounding me; it now takes a lot to get me excited, when before a little thing could brighten my whole day. This has brought forth being an irritable and moody person and quite frankly I do not like that person. So I decided to start the #100 happy days challenge. Using social media each day will share a picture or something that made me happy. It doesn’t have to be something huge or out of this world, it can be anything. What I love about this is that it is not a challenge to impress anyone; it is about ME, being happy for a full #100 days! The challenging part about this challenge is knowing that 70% of the people could not complete the 100 days of happiness because they did not have enough time.
I want to make time to be happy, to make others happy and feel the happiness that is buried under all this greyness.  I will be sharing on my face book and my twitter my #100 days of happy moments. I can’t wait!! So who wants to join??? Register on www.100happydays.com this will help you keep track and be part of the multitudes spreading #happy. 
#Happy days ahead!

A glance back...


I would just to take a quick moment to look back at 2013...moments that made me happy, things I enjoyed, people I feel we need to keep an eye on this year and the high flyers in 2013…Here we go:
Homies that made me proud:


Mxolisi

Mxolisi Ndzimande works at eHlanzeni FET College who scooped an award for brand visibility in the Education sector! Who said awesome awards are in acting or music? My brother over here be making it rain! Marketers especially in Education sectors sit up and take a note, or two! He is also doing very well in business, keep eyes here to see what he brings in 2014. Well done my friend here’s to a GREAT year.
 




Collen


 Collen Nxumalo for an award as best first time published author at the South African Literacy Award on his book “From this point”. Well done home boy, proving that young black men do read and write. Soon he will be launching his second book “heaven is a better place” all the best.



Cool events:
For Witbank one of the biggest events was in May 2013 at the Civic Centre when SMG and Let’s Rock You Entertainment hosted The Soil. The event was on fire,later a surprise appearance by Zola who had been out of the scene for some time made this event one of the most talked about event in Witbank.
The Soil Performing at eMalahleni

Later in September Lets Rock You Entertainment did it again in Nkomazi and brought Zola to the people for the 3rd Annual MP Spring Picnic, epic...This featured some local Dj’s and  a lot of artists who are now making waves in the music industry with the likes of Choco, KB, Bruno, Pardon, Ghetto son and many more. Word is Zola will be realising an album this year...something to look forward to!

My biggest loss in 2013...

Losing my dear friend Bheki Senong in July. It was so sudden and unexpected, still hard to believe he is no more I had done an interview with him “Meet Bheki Senong” and there’s still so much he wanted to do, he left behind a beautiful wife with 2 beautiful kids...Miss you so much my Chomie.

My  two "this is ME" Moments

 Being nominated to be part of the POUT movement! Read the article I wrote “I am POUT” This really humbled me as my nomination meant that someone saw some potential in me being Powerful, Outstanding, Unique and Talented. There is a lot we will be doing in 2014/15 as the ambassadors keep your eyes peeled here: http://eepurl.com/NfIAT #POUT newsletter. Thank you so much to Zaza Motha the founder for believing in us to carry this brand as the first group of embassadors.

Also finally establishing my business. Procharm is my baby, my company that inspired me to be just who I am, to work harder to build a brand and legacy. The company is focused in Hospitality Training for people that are already in the industry like chef, food servers , housekeepers, front ofhouse staff and so on. The aim is to enhance and polish up the skills that these individuals have, in doing so they can fit into the ever evolving hopsitality industry giving the best service. Biggest break was working with Global village Guesthouse's chefs for 4 months. All gratitude goes back to those that belived in me when I started giving one on one private cooking lessons. This is only the begining...

Looking forward to a better and GREATER 2014. Please follow the blog, share the posts and do Comment.

Welcome back

Hello, It’s been a minute there...wow I missed this place. It is the beginning of a new year and looking back I couldn’t wait for 2013 to end until I had a revelation filled conversation with someone. She said to me I must appreciate the hard times that 2013 brought forth because these hard times are proof that I am a conqueror as I survived them. She further said in life there is no breakthrough without a breakdown. So yeah I’m glad I had whatever experience in2013, I’m back full force in 2014 and looking forward to writing loads of interesting stuff. Please feel free to comment on all my posts, follow the blog and share with others. My next post will be a quick flash back to 2013’s moments then will kick start the year with something different.
I hope that this year brings you Joy, Prosperity, Love, Success in abundance and results for every effort to put in. Here’s to a year full of favour!

When we break free..

Now and again we need to break free from things that hold us back...things that hold us back from being better people, from being more productive and being us. Recently we lost a hero, an icon former South African president Mr Nelson Mandela,  I compare him to the men in the bible like Moses, Joshua, Noah, David he dared to go where others only pointed out. For that we will forever remember him and celebrate him...this is because he broke free, free from the hatred he lived under, free from the pain of being held prisoner for so many years wanting to be free..He broke free from all of that. Now he just broke free from this life because he has run his good race of freedom and faith. From this we can learn that breaking free may hurt those that we leave behind, but in time we are admired for plucking up that courage and breaking free. What are you breaking free from today???

For the Love of Food

We all love good food.  Even better we pride ourselves in preparing good food.  The social media plays such a big role in our lives we even post pics of what we are constantly eating, we tweet pic what we had/having for lunch. All of this is done for the love of good food. Would you purchase a recipe book written and published by a South African? How much would you be willing to pay for one that has healthy and yummy meals as well as desserts and maybe a few cocktail recipes there?
 Please comment and share thank you
