How many times does it take for you to fail until you give up? Do you ever give up? Is that even an option? Do you need to know your limits and forfeit? Perserverance teaches you that repetition in your failing actually causes you to succeed. As long as you learn from your mistakes, adapt, … Continue reading Perseverance = Faith

I am always more than keen for an adventure. I pack lightly so that there is plenty of space for memories. I used to have a bad memory, now I do unforgettable things.
Rough Terrain
Life is difficult. I’m sure you can relate. We experience storms in our lives that at times may seem impossible to overcome, yet we get through. Sometimes we don’t leave unscathed, but the scars remind us of how we overcame them. It is easier said than done, however. You may not always realise how close … Continue reading Rough Terrain
Word wall
So I was busy reorganizing my cupboard, (and not the clothes you find on the inside, but rather on the outside that I have decorated). Some are posters, others are bookmarks and some are just some cool pictures I have collected on the way. But the one thing that is from my very own handwriting … Continue reading Word wall
Intersection
In all walks of life, we come across a point in which a decision needs to be made. At times they are small things like what cereal should I buy? Other occasions where it is not such an easy decision, perhaps which career to go into. Regardless, there are those who have most likely made … Continue reading Intersection
Day 3: Detour
This is a story of one of my days cycling nearly 800km over a week. This day was one that was very taxing but yet rewarding in the end. My third day's goal was to get from Knysna to Hartenbos. The most direct route would be about 100km via the highway. However, it was not … Continue reading Day 3: Detour

Sometimes what we wish for will come true, yet we seem to doubt ourselves. It is almost guaranteed and still you choose to be in disbelief when it counts. A promise should not be broken, though you remain hesitant. Just remember the past, remember what you have received and forgetting the flaws of this world … Continue reading The lavish soul
Written for the daring
Dedicated to Josh, and to those who are willing to go beyond what is considered comfortable To leave that which is known, to be met with the unknown is exhilarating and yet frightening simultaneously. Giving up security for adventure, yields stories that cannot be forgotten. Asking 'what if' instead of 'why' breaks perceptions of the … Continue reading Written for the daring
The longest ride
-780Km (Distance travelled) -70 hours (Time travelled) - 7 days (Days travelled) -Lots (Calories burned) Saturday, 4 September, 2021. My escapade began. Months of planning, training, blood, sweat and tears(that was just sweat looking like tears), came down to a week to face the music. I had this very morbid idea to get on a … Continue reading The longest ride
Joy!
Dedicated for a friend. And to those who may need it. Joy!No pestilence lurking in the darkest hour,Nor any plague that attacks at midday,Will come between you and your joy Countless droughts in the desert, And much unrest in the valley,Cannot drench any of your joy inside of you Many shall come to inquire,What is … Continue reading Joy!
Can you rely on others?
What is the ultimate test to determine whether you can trust someone? You just trust them. That may sound rather absurd, but I will get back to you in a moment regarding that. Till the recent passing of my mother my parents were one of the greatest marriages I have ever known. They were a … Continue reading Can you rely on others?
