Janine de Swardt..
Tomorrow, April 30th 2013, marks the 2 year anniversary of the day the world lost one incredible person, i never imagined the loss of a friend to be easy, neither did i imagine it to be quite this painful. Still, 2 years later, i have dreams about that day, the sound of that crash echo's in my ears, the events replay in my head .. over and over and over again..
As hard as it was to lose you, i feel so blessed to have been able to know you!
You are so missed Nuni - the world may have lost you, but heaven gained something so precious that day! xx

Parlotones Concert 22 April 2013
I was incredibly lucky to be able to meet the members of my favorite band from South-Africa, The Parlotones, on their Shake it Up tour through the US, first time I ever got to see them perform live, right here in DC! Such amazing talent!
Counting my blessings! xx

Birthday!
The past, the now, the future..
Because i'll be going through some pretty huge changes soon, I have been thinking about life a lot lately..
The past, the present and most importantly.. the future! It amazes me how fast time flies and I still remember that very day I got on my flight to The US, I remember the fears I had, I remember the tears I cried, I remember thinking.. this is it.. the start of life! The start of something amazing, the start of creating a life on my own!Back then I had no idea just how many people i'd meet, or how many things i'd experience or even just how incredibly blessed i'd be!And here I am again.. two years later, life is about to change, I am once again fearfull, excited for a new chapter to begin, sad to leave the life I created here behind..
The truth is, life changes, people change, we grow, we learn, we love.. and we leave..
As much as i'd love to live in "the now" forever, I gotta take what I learnt from it along with me as I enter my future.. the memories, the experiences, the people, the love and the places I've seen, will forever be a part of who I am about to become..
I don't quite know where this journey is about to take me, all I know is, that wherever it's gonna be it's gonna be somewhere amazing ... and I absolutely can't wait!

It's been a while..again!
I feel like i'm not the best blogger there is, but it's really not that i gave up trying.. Life has simply just been crazy busy! So, please excuse the long periods of silence.. i promise to get better at this!
Alot has happened since my last post, February flew by faster than i had ever imagined.. and now, now we're almost just about done with March too..
The first 4 months of the year are always the hardest for me, with many memories, anniversaries and losses reminding me of a life i once lived, loved and treasured.. Unfortunately we're still not through April, but the end is in sight and better days are on their way! :D
One last super annoying thing.. does anyone else feel like it just drives them completely beyond crazy when people can't just be straight-forward and open and honest about what's on their minds? Like you know.. cut the crap and get the truth out there..if people can't handle it, they're just not worth your time..Maybe it's just me, but i feel like i've been experiencing that very same thing over and over the last few months, i just hope that one day i'll meet someone that knows how to do that and if it's a guy.. i swear .. i'd marry him! hahaha..
March is also the beginning of Spring in DC, and watching these beautiful changes in nature take place after a long winter, is one of the reasons why i love this place so much!The seasons here are just sooo extreme and everything about it is just worth loving! .. Even though it's technically Spring allready, it snowed two days ago!Which, ofcourse, was beautiful, but also scary, considering there is this whole global warming issue hanging over our heads..
Besides the fact that it's still my hardest time of the year.. i'm actually loving life, i have so many things and people to be thankful for and i most definitely feel blessed knowing they are all part of my life journey!
