In My Day and Time: Behaviour of Striking Teachers is Embarrassing
|
|
What is the job description of a teacher? Is it merely to pass on content, or is it to model how one navigates society? When I was in high school, my teachers did more than just teach me in the classroom. They counseled me, gave me advice, and on the rare occasion reprimanded me. I looked up to them because they modeled what the taught. I'm afraid this generation's young people cannot say the same thing. The behavior that some of the striking teachers have exhibited is an absolute
embarrassment not just to themselves, but to the impressionable young people whose respect they have probably lost. Imagine having to listen to and respect the same person who a few days earlier burnt your exam script, and in so doing
jeopardized your future.
While I continue to support public servants in their calls for better wages, the manner in which they are going about 'articulating' their demands is
embarrassing and quite annoying. The 200 or so teachers who invaded the Good Hope campus of False Bay, and burnt up the scripts of Grade 12 learners are embarrassing! If this is their way of expressing their dissatisfaction with the way things are, they are going about it the wrong way - hooliganism never gets the message across - they should know this better than anyone else!

Happy Casual day everybody!!
Until I started working for absa, I always found bankers rather... flat characters, but now that I've joined them, I see that this is not the case. In a desperate attempt to be original for the annual casual day, I donned my Superman shirt and rummaged through our linen closet for a red sheet(alas, I found that putting on my red panties over my jeans would be... crossing the line). When I arrived at work, ready to save the day, I was met by domestic workers, policewomen, makotis and boerevrouens(farmer's wives, not afrikaans women) and I realised something. There is a reason why Superman remains in some parallel universe far away from ours because in a world full of women such as these, who needs him? We are a versitile gender. We get up in the morning, make sure that our husbands and children are fed (the makoti). Then we put on our work attire and go out into the world to be whatever it needs us to be; all before dinner time!
So as ideal as the thought of a hero who will save the day may sound; let's face it. We are the actual heroes here and not the damsels in distress. So go out there and be the best superhero you can be!

THE DISADVANTAGE OF BEING BLACK.....
|
|
.......Or white or man or woman rather than being an individual is that you limit the expansion self. Explore and express YOU before attaching the labels.In no way are you defying hertitage but in order to release the expansive self, you must peel off the labels that society creates. I dislike the labels that some people give me but have come to realise that there are times I give myself those labels so they are behaving in a way that they feel may be comfortable to me. Some labels are harsh and uncalled for but this reflects the ignorance and emptiness of the label giver.
On the other hand when you are too caught up labeling yourself with a more accepting label e.g I am a woman,you may limit your self expression to the experience that society has set for a woman. Even those woman who break the cycles of being labelled a "traditional woman", society still says- For a woman, she is great at.....or for a woman to achieve this is...- this too is limiting in itself. When we peel of the labels we understand that the only limitations to a human being (mind, body and spirit) are those we ourselves create.

Love at a distance vs Distance Love
|
|
Sounds the same but worlds apart. Sometimes it may be just the right thing to love someone at a distance- this is when you have tried everything you can to help the one you love grow but in many cases they self destruct and you just know that being in a relationship with them doesn't do you any good and neither do they learn to grow. The choice then is to still love them but from a distance. Now, Distance love is an agreement that you will continue a relationship even though worlds apart.
When Sandra came to see me, she felt like it was impossible to love someone who has hurt her. She was in a long distance relationship for three years and he had just broken her heart, I suggested that she loves him from a distance and at that time all she wanted was for him to suffer. To see him suffer would not do anything for her right? Love may be sometimes painful but it's the greatest gift. Forgiveness is the first step to healing. Once she opens her heart to forgiveness, so will she learn to love unconditionally. Love is truly Divine power. Lesson for the week learnt!

Be inspired to be Creative
|
On Sunday I decided that I needed some interior design inspiration and headed to Design Quarter. It was a short trip - I had my daughter with me who wanted to go up and down escalators and jump into the fountain the entire time. My mission however was to go to Boardmans for their Welcome Home range.
This range has been pulled together by Trevyn and Julian McGowan of Source, where they have identified local designers that we the public can have access to under one roof.
The inspiration bug bit me with the Seyanamarena blankets (Basotho blankets) that they used to cover ottomans. I have seen it being done with West African fabrics (Seshoeshoe could be an idea if it hasn’t been done before – note to self - topic for future blog).
ARANDA is the name of the designers behind these creations. Ordinarily these blankets are pricey and the ones that I have are gifts from family. I never would have thought of upholstering with the blanket but it actually works! When you have the time, go have a look-see and let me know what you think.

Busy being Busy.
|
|
If you are rushing from one situation to another appointment in a hectic manner-don’t place unnecessary short time margins between events-be realistic.
Are you over committed and under-satisfied?
Get a time priority adjustment at least once a month.
If someone asks you “How are you?” have you ever answered “Really Busy”.
Every day you have you will never have again. Joyce Meyer
Your time should be spent being fruitful not just busy.
7 Ways to waste your time.
Deadworks-trying to make something happen that is not working.
Worrying-to torment one’s self with useless thinking. it fatigues you and wastes your energy
Reasoning-trying to figure things out. You can be addicted to reasoning-over analising every situation. It’s about having all the answers and ultimately always wanting to be in control!
Guilt - Stop trying to help someone who does not want to be helped.
Fear.

Re honoring myself
|
|
You know the strange thing happen to me when I was praying this morning to pray for our relationships and families,as I was praying came an image of a young girl who used to put God first beyond anything in her life, I though I was filling the void that i had when I was young came two things in my mind so I had to see something in my book that I wrote long time. it said, for I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray I will listen. You will find Me when you seek Me. that what we should seach for because its not too late to fix the mistakes of our live and be honoured not to live your children with your own budden of your life/ past

GET YOUR CHILDREN TO EAT HEALTHY THIS SUMMER
|
|
Many mothers have emailed me asking about how to get their children to eat healthier.
Good nutrition is the bedrock of lifelong health, and it begins in infancy. Yet all too soon, your kids are bombarded by messages that counteract your efforts. Between peer pressure and the constant television commercials for junk foods, getting children to eat well might seem more futile than fruitful.
So, what exactly can parents do to instil healthy eating habits in their kids, without causing World War III at every meal? Simple things like getting kids involved in food preparation, inspiring them with your own healthy choices, and even just simply turning off the television can make a huge impact on your child’s lifelong relationship with food.
So if your child is a picky eater try preparing creative smoothies, with a children’s nutritional supplement (e.g. Nutren Junior) as they are a great way to get some vitamins and calcium into the kids, while keeping them hydrated in the summer – and they taste great too.
Some Fruity Shake Ideas
Whiz up 500ml of milk, a couple of scoops of vanilla Nutren Junior, plus about 200g each of the following fresh fruits (peeled and cored/stoned as necessary):
- strawberry and banana
- mango and kiwi
- plum and raspberry
- blackberry and banana
- peach and pineapple
- apple and pear
All these fruits work well by themselves too. Try experimenting with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to give them a bit of zing.

Embrace and perfect your natural shopping style
|
|
Women tend to be guarded when it comes to their shopping habits. You might be racked with guilt because you spend too much, ashamed because you think you are the only woman who hates shopping or just plain confused about what all the fuss is about.
Whether shopping is a pleasurable pastime or a source of agony for you, you need to know that effective shopping is a skill and good shopping skills can be learnt no matter what your natural shopping style.
Instead of beating yourself up about your unique shopping style, learn to embrace your shopping patterns and tweak your weaknesses.
Choose the shopping pattern below that is most relevant to you and get ready to embark on a journey of making shopping a more pleasurable, guilt and worry free experience.
If you are a spontaneous shopper you may:
- Have a wardrobe full of clothing but nothing to wear.
- Buy sporadically.
- Experience a temporary high from shopping.
- Buy a lot of items you never wear.
- Own lots of bits and pieces but have very few items, if any that work well together.
Embrace:
- You may be one of the few women who enjoy shopping. Once you tweak your skills a little, you may find shopping even more enjoyable as it won’t be coupled with the guilt of buying items you won’t wear.
Tweak:
- Go through your wardrobe and give away all the items you haven’t worn for a year or two.
- Make a shopping list of items you need to make your existing wardrobe work better (mix and match, dress up or down). I.e. basic trousers that work well with at least three of your tops or blouses.
- Decide to only buy an item you really like and that can be worn in three different ways.
If you are a label queen you may:
- Spend a lot on designer name brands.
- Avoid buying anything that is not branded.
- Spend several months of your clothing budget on one expensive item.
- Feel you need to look your best at all times.
Embrace:
- You are able to save for an item you really want rather than buying a whole lot of cheaper items you will never wear.
Tweak:
- Only accept a high price tag for good basics that won’t go out of style.
- Fill your wardrobe with less expensive items that don’t need to make a “label statement”. I.e. nobody will know whether a black fitted tee comes from a chain store or an exclusive high end boutique.
If you hate shopping and only submit yourself to the torture when you are in dire need of something you may:
- Seldom spend money on clothing.
- Wear the same clothes over and over even if they are looking worse for wear.
- Find that when you eventually go shopping, you buy all the wrong things because you are in a rush to get the shopping experience over with.
- Have quite a few items in your wardrobe that epitomise your desperate attempt to find something for an event at the last minute.
Embrace:
- You don’t spend every cent on clothing and attempt to make your existing wardrobe work for you.
Tweak:
- Open yourself up to a change.
- Ask a stylist or a trusted friend to help you create a look that suits your body shape and better reflects who you are.
- Be patient with yourself as you nurture your shopping skills.
- Once your skill improves, you will find it easier and quicker to shop.
If you have a practical approach to planning your wardrobe you may:
- Give a lot of thought to each item you add to your wardrobe.
- Mix and match well.
- Seldom have items in your closet you don’t wear.
- Not mind spending more for good quality items.
Embrace:
- You are a great planner and you spend your budget wisely.
Tweak:
- Decide to be a little more adventurous now and again. Once you have the basis of your wardrobe, add a piece you would not usually buy because it lacks that “practical prerequisite”. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If you buy outfits rather than mix and match components you may:
- Find yourself buying outfits as they are displayed in shop windows or displays.
- Find that your outfits can only be worn in one way without many mix and match or dress up or down options.
- Get bored of your wardrobe quickly.
- Often have to replace your outfits due to wear or boredom.
Embrace:
- You have a good balance of basics, fashion items and accessories that make up an outfit.
Tweak:
- Start buying mix and match components that will make it easier for you to create various looks. I.e. a pair of trousers that can be worn with at least three different blouses, so that you can dress them up for work with a blouse and dress them down with a fitted tee for casual wear.
If you are an accessory queen you may:
- Have a huge shoe collection.
- Find it difficult to walk past an accessory shop without going in to “have a look”.
- Love buying shoes, bags and jewellery because you don’t have to ask, “Does my bum look big in this?”.
- Spend most of your clothing budget on accessories.
- Avoid buying clothing, because it is just too difficult and time-consuming.
Embrace:
- You know how to dress up and down by accessorising well. You will always have the right shoes to go with an outfit.
Tweak:
- Start spending your clothing budget on clothing.
- Build a good basic wardrobe that will give you more and better ways to wear your existing accessories.
- Discover which items to look for that will suit your body shape so that shopping for clothing becomes a less scary experience.
No matter what your shopping style, I hope this will help you to fill your wardrobe with clothing you actually wear, love and feel fabulous in.

Discover the fascinating world of Chakras
|
|
The ancient writings of the East teach us about seven main energy centres of the human body. These are called chakras (a Sanskrit word meaning wheel of energy). They are key to health issues. Knowing the position and function of each chakra provides valuable information to improving your wellbeing. For instance, if you suffer from lower back pain it indicates an energy block in the second chakra. Since this chakra is about sex, money and social matters, you could not only go to physiotherapy but also consider what's happening in your world regarding these factors. Going to chakra level is going to the level of energy, and by extension the level of cause.
So over the next few weeks I will give you some useful bits of information about these seven energy centres, what they mean and how they apply to your life - and to your soul's journey on this earth.
The seven chakra centres run up from your tailbone to the top of your spinal column. When operating in a healthy mode they create a spinning vortex which feeds energy into your body-mind system. They operate from day one of life and are also programmed to come into their own full expression over seven year periods. The seventh chakra is fully opened at age 49 - that is providing the person has worked mindfully with the potentials of each chakra allowing them to flower fully. The cycle then starts again, opening the first chakra at a higher dimension.
By 49 the life force is meant to flow vigorously through the entire body-mind-soul system, delivering information and renewing life so that you can move forward into the next 49 years in a healthy and wise manner. Unfortunately many reach 49, full of blockages and missing incredible conscious raising opportunities. Often they either fall sick or go back to chakra one and replay the expression of it at the 'first level.'
An example of this is when the first chakra, being all about a sensory experience of the world, starts to flower in your first 7 years of life. Here information is taken in primarily by touch. So, for example, a baby puts everything in his mouth to experience it. You won't however see an eight-year-old child putting keys in his mouth. This chakra stage has passed.
By 49 a man is theoretically ready to experience the higher level of the first chakra as the cycle starts again. However, if he hasn't done mindful work on himself, he will probably be running after 19 year models, and buying a motorbike or red sports cars instead of starting to experience first chakra energy as information from the soul - instead of raw sexuality.
Uninformed ways of living are not the only way that chakras become blocked. Chakras block due to the general trauma of life - fears, pollution, poor food and environment, psychological bruising, emotional traumas, physical injuries and the like. This has ramifications for all areas of human life, since energy is life, and the chakras are the doorway to that energy.
Meditation, energy healing, physical activities such as yoga, acupuncture and other alternative therapies target healing of stuck energy in various chakras. And as meditation can be done by us all anywhere anytime it's a great way to keep your energies flowing. (see my three minute breathing meditation on www.CatherineGlennie.blogspot.com)

In need of support from women enterpreneurs in Mafikeng
|
|
The August issue featured Maria Ramos where she spoke about surrounding herself with resourseful people (something like that). It got me to remember how immediately after high school, identifying my niche, being Public Relations, I literally seached for a mentor in this industry.
This would obviously help me to get to know how this industry works, equopped myself with necessary resources. I was rejected by the only PR company in Mafikeng. Being owned by women this for me was the highlight, women doing it for themselves type of thing. I knocked, followed them, searched, did what I could to hear me out. I lost hope and went on to seach for more women in this field. Zero results.
Afer all that rejection, finally I did this on my own but although I still yearn to find a support base in Mafikeng I thought it best than to start my own base. This is for young enthusiasts who can find a place, a forum to help in any way. My PR and Events company sets to give what I was not able to receive, SUPPORT.
many success stories from business people, speak of networking. But it does not help when one does not have the resourses to do that, when you get rejected by those already in the industry.
Mafikeng will have that if i have anything to do with that.

Diary of a Quitting Smoker at Bootcamp - Entry One
|
|
Last night I embarked on my first ever visit to Bootcamp. I've smoked for about 6 years and four days ago, I decided that it was time to quit the nasty habit. it was costing me money, affecting my health and seriously, the bad smell that goes with it - nah, not worth it anymore. The teammates were nice, the trainer was nice and even the atmosphere was nice... well, the atmosphere was cruel seeing as there was a Spring-day festival happening across the way with all sorts of wonderful treats to tempt me, but all in all, the start to Bootcamp was a good one.
We started with a weigh-in, a fitness test (murhpy's law we'd have a fitness test on the day I start...), and I weighed in at 2kg's heavier than the previous weigh in I had on FRIDAY. EEEK! I have no idea how that was possible. All I know is that clearly, this Bootcamp thing is necessary.
After the weigh-in we did centimetres and those were fine, but then we were going to start... and trust me, that wasn't so fine. I HAD TO JOG 2.5KM'S!!!!!! Now my parents are runners, but me, NO. I'm a ballerina at heart, not a runner. Everyone thinks that ballet dancers are so fit, but we're not fit like that. Make us jump up and down for 20 minutes and we'll be fine, make us balance on the balls of our feet for half an hour, piece of cake! Make us jog: it's like putting syrup and flour in a blender - it just doesn't work.
Anyway, so I jogged. I managed to jog at quite a comfortable pace for about 1km, but after that I couldn't anymore. So I power-walked the rest and did my 2.5km's in 18:23 minutes. Not too shabby for someone that doesn't jog methinks.
So after the jog, we had to do burpees (it's a crazy exercise: you jump up, you touch the ground, you extend your legs behind you, you jump back to crouch position and jump back up again - and that counts as ONE burpee), sit-ups, push-ups, squats (that's the one part of the camp I went "now THIS is something I can do. Stand on the balls of my feet as long as I can? Bring it on"), the plank (as I write that I feel my core muscles go "PLEASE! Not again!"), and other exercises much like those.
It wasn't a bad start. I wouldn't say it was a GOOD start, but it wasn't bad. Thursday night I go back, and apparently, that's when things are going to get rough... I know. When I heard those words my jaw dropped and I could see little hypothetical Lian running away crying and refusing to come back. BUT, I will do this. And I will take this fitness challenge head on. I'm a Leo and I'm a woman... I don't do quitting - except the smoking part. But that's bad for you.
All in all, I loved Bootcamp (except for the jogging bit). It's something I could very easily become addicted to. The trainer is wonderful, the group is awesome and it's just a great way of letting off steam. I'm seriously considering hanging up my gyming towel and replacing it with some cargo boots and a G.I Jane hairstyle - okay no, not quite, but you catch my drift right?
Check out the FFA Bootcamp group: http://www.destinyconnect.com/group/FFA%20Boot%20Camp. They're are great and seriously know what they're doing. And if you like the group, check out the note on the DestinyConnect Facebook page: http://bit.ly/c8yWAD.

Ponderings

" But I'm no easy angel, I'm moody like the wind. I am impatient, complicated. I am fragile deep within..."

When life seems too much
|
|
Today I woke up like any other normal day preparing to go to work.I wake up at four everyday and get to work very early because the bus that I use is the only bus going to my place of work.I fell as I was about to leave my place because I had to run so that I will be on time.Then I started thinking about everything else in my life.I felt so down and felt like giving up and stop chasing something that I don't know it even exists.
But I also thought about what I had to go through to get here.I realised I'm stronger than I give myself credit for.I have the strength to face whatever situation that I find myself in.I mean not having my own car,walking long distances to work,not coming to work because of strikes by public transport providers and those rainy days is nothing compared to what I went through.I am a strong ,independent woman.
This brings me to my point.Most of us tend to doubt ourselves when things don't go the way we expect them to go.We tend to beat ourselves up and start feeling worthless.We start questioning our existence.We overlook our capabilities and focus on the negative.We don't realise how strong we are and the power we have to face challenges that life throws on our path.
The truth of the matter is we were all meant to walk different paths and face different challenges.My weakest point was and is still is comparing my myself to other peolpe.That is one area of my life that I am trying to work on as I know I'm unique and things will come to me differently.We might have similar qualities but life will never unfold to us in the same way.No matter what my day will turn out like it doesn't matter.It is just one of the hurdles that I have to jump to get to a place that I know I am meant to be.
I know life can get too much and you will feel like giving up.Just take a moment and reflect on what you had to go through in order for you to be where you are.Just ask yourself this question:If I was able to go through all that,what is stopping me from going forward and coming out victorious at the end?Nothing.You just have to take a moment and gather your strength.
There is a saying that goes like this: whether you think you can or you can't you are right.Sorry I forgot the author.We all have so much to offer the world.The Bible tells us the that the will of God will not take us where the grace of God will not protect us.Get up and keep going.It's only a matter of time that your perseverence and patience start paying off.You are all beautiful and strong and you can do anything that you put your mind on.GOD BLESS.

Bunny Chow made Sexy
|
|
 While on my exploration of all things ‘United Republic’, I came across a bustaurant (a restaurant on a bus, get it?). It’s based in the US and its called World Far. They say on their site they want to ‘create moments, connections and inspired interactions through food.’ You have to go on to http://worldfare.com/ to understand how cleverly they created this mobile restaurant. But the reason this bustaurant has made it on this blog is due to their signature dish – the Bunny Chow!
They’ve managed to take a much loved street meal, and made it gourmet sexy. Here’s to a simple dish making waves across the ocean. I hope we get to see more of these alternative creations taken abroad. Make sure you follow me as I continue to search and hopefully keep you inspired: http://unitedrepublic.blogspot.com/

Fun Color Palette-
|

Tap into the energy of spring with a fresh, fun color palette. It is believed we receive positive energy from certain colors. Spring brings with it vibrant, bold floral colors such as fuchsia and bright corals, it also encompasses calming and gently uplifting pinks and peaches. Now is the time to introduce spring into your make-up palette and nail polish colors.

Good things come to those who wait

“Moderation”. What a boring word, often equated with dullness or the ordinary ... In our hedonistic society of immediate gratification it’s hardly a fashionable philosophy, so why is excessiveness always a more alluring and daring pastime?
We yearn for elation – that immeasurable moment of exhilaration and supreme joy - where the ego ceases to exist and we are transported towards instant glee. Our addictions create that shortcut to the soul where artificial leisure creates pleasure. In the 70’s Baba Ram Das said about LSD; “The problem with it is, that it’s like jumping on a spring in front of a door and seeing heaven, and having to come down again.”
Now there’s the thing, back in the mystery of your everyday life. The pace is slower than our shortcut to pleasure, more deliberate. But life slowly begins to flow through every part of us, without limitation. This too is developed by a gravitational field which attracts simplicity and retrieves our innocence.
Ironically, “moderation” in fact affords us with the physical and emotional stamina we need to live life to the fullest.

practice praying
|
|
We know today is the day that we start to pray to put every one in our thougths and mind even if you are married or single, I would like us to state and say everything that is bothering us and let God do his magic upon us.
As you pray today
- Recall that God longs to hear from you and has invited you to pray; accept that invitation.
- Remember that God is interested in you and your needs; tell him what burdens your heart.
- Ask him to show you how to live in the moment near His presence.
Because Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spend the night praying to God.
