Letter To My Forever After by Sizwe Mkhize

I know how we'll meet, chat and share a sentiment over a pot of tea.
I know how we'll kiss and tell our tales and adventures. I know how you look, walk, smell and laugh.
I know your smile, your tears and pain.

I know the next chapter in your life, the new colours and new habits you'll adopt, the new love notes; I miss you, I love you. 
And no we didn't rush into this. 
I know your first thought in the morning and your last. I know that when God gives you to me and me to you... I know it will be us with a new beginning and happy forever after

I know to have patience, because you are worth the wait, and I don't lose patience with each rising of the sun and the setting of the same. Instead I am happy because I know I'm one day closer to being with you.

"This is why I've been single, but at least I've drafted my letter to my Queen"

The Curious Case of Pinky Pinky: The Toilet Tokoloshe

There was once a Tokoloshe, her name was Pinky Pinky – she lived in the girls’ school toilets, sang a song that introduced her and told you about her parents. She’d then end the song by demanding you give her something. Thanks to Pinky Pinky, her choice of location and her singing – I've yet to feel completely comfortable using public toilets. I first heard about Pinky Pinky when I was in Sub A (now known as Grade 1). She terrorized girls my age, demanding money or (as I recently heard) stole their panties. I think she’d also want whatever pink item you had on you. If you couldn't give in to Pinky Pinky’s demands – you were in big trouble. I don’t remember the details of what she’d do to you but what I knew is that it would be painful. Pinky Pinky was so dangerous she even made it into a national newspaper – although they used a blurry picture. There were different stories told about how she looked – none mentioned a beautiful creature. Her looks were things horror mo...

Book Review: Are You David or Goliath?

Ever stopped yourself from working on a dream because you thought you were not ready or it was too big for you to put together? We sometime convince ourselves that we are not skilled, educated or experienced enough to attempt going after ideas or opportunities close to our hearts.  Malcolm Gladwell , addresses this very mind-set in his book, David and Goliath, Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants .  Throughout the book references the lives of game changers to make the point that we can be who or what we want to be – or at least try, regardless of our so-called weaknesses. As I read this book I recalled many times in my life that I backed down on an opportunity because I believed it was meant for someone from a better school, a higher education or more experience. In those moments I discounted the fact that I was passionate about those subjects or would enjoy the challenge of learning about a field I was curious about. “The powerful and the stro...

Book Review: Influence

Influencer marketing continues to grow in momentum around the world and has become a key factor of many marketing plans. We continue to see it evolve with the introduction of new platforms and the death of some. Influence by Sara McCorquodale is a great read on how social media influencers are shaping the marketing space. Although mostly focused on the UK and US market - I believe the insights shared of misunderstood space are without borders. McCorquodale's book includes definitions, early adaptors, new age influencers, issues and a look at the future. Depending where your region is in terms of adopting different platforms - the trends are mostly the same. Therefore I found this book relatable in many aspects. The book begins with trying to define what an influencer is. There is a lot of confusion as how to who are influencers and what they do. There have been a discussions were people with high number of fans have not been able to sell t-shirts, or an example used in this book, ...
