So on my way from work it started raining, not hard but when I proceeded, it got so bad and wipers were on high but difficult to see and drive still. Put my hazards on and we were driving 40kmph max. I thought of stopping until it gets less hard but something told me to continue. It rained from Wonderboom to just after ko di vorosong. When I passed bedrock it was dry dry then it dawned on me that, this is exactly how life is, when you are in the storm, never ever stop, continue moving and there will be a great calm after the storm
Everyday you get to get a new perspective in life and that should be how you live your life. Your current storm is never your permanent situation.
Happy weekend everybody.God is love,Love Tannie
Every year I single-handedly make Christmas lunch for my family and every year I tell them that I won’t be here the next Christmas because I’m getting married.
I want everything in 2026; Romance, financial freedom , Love, Vacations, great connections and friendships, good health, healthy relationship, growth in life.
“We bow before Your throne, not because we do not have any other gods to bow before, but because we tried You, and we found You to be worthy of the praise.”
I’ve received so many DMs about this. Guys, there’s money in online teaching, I won’t lie but also you need to put in the work. Here, I will share which platform I’m currently using and how I did it. I believe if you want it, you can do it too. So here goes 🧵
Guys… sorry for this very unsolicited advice but having recently lost my mom and now having to consolidate all of her affairs, (lucky for me, sis was quite organised but there are still some gaps we’re filling because we didn’t know), I have some tips for those who have a chance to try to get organised.
If your parents are still alive, here’s what you can TRY to do (cos I know some of them are very untrusting about stuff and will think you’re trying to come for ilefa prematurely 🥺🫣) but honestly, the peace I’m yearning for right now will be worth the effort I’m advising you to employ.
1. Prepare a file that has the following:
- Parents’ ID copies
- Parents’ Marriage Certificate (even the one from the lobola meeting)
- Parents’ Divorce Decree if divorced
- All title deeds reflecting their names and car ownership papers
- Municipal bills for the properties and logins to the e-portals for the municipal accounts (this is one of the most stressful things to sort out when the owner is no longer alive…YOH!)
- Bank statements (you can locate debit orders)
- Their pension fund administrators details
- Any business registration certificates and shareholders certificates
- Copies of all their latest policy schedules
- If your parents trust you and you won’t scam them, A list of their logins to their email addresses
- A list of their financial advisors and lawyers and doctors and their contact details
- A list of their creditors and contact details
- A list of their debtors and contact details
- An asset registry with a list of all their assets
- A list of their monthly bills (Dstv, telkom etc and the statements)
2. If this is at all possible, it will save a lot of headache
- Have a meeting with your parents and your siblings to allocate roles and responsibilities in the event of death and record it (written usually or visually if they’re okay with that)
- Write down what their wishes are for their send offs (where do they want to be buried, do they want cremation, singing on singing, which church must conduct etc etc and where the money for all this is coming from). Yea, they won’t be here to dictate to you () but, it will save you a lot of stress just doing what umufi asked for and everyone (especially the aunts and uncles) know it to be true
3. When your parent does pass away, have the following in the “deceased file”
- Death certificate (and certified copies)
- Hospital or Coroners report or notice of death
- Updated ID with stamp saying Deceased
- Burial notice
- Undertaker Notice
Lastly… get your parents to draft a will with a lawyer and nominate an executor whilst they are still alive 😭🥺😮💨 if you can invest in this, it will ease the administrative burden on you guys who have to take over when they are no longer alive.
Losing a parent you are close to is one of the most painful things you’ll ever experience in your existence… help yourself by not having to be in pain and highly frustrated because things weren’t organised when you had the chance.
* I know this is a very difficult subject to tackle at home…and it’s even more difficult to accept the reality of death… but if you do have the privilege of a good relationship with your parents, just try. For everyone else who doesn’t get to do this, I’m really sorry 🫂 I wish things could be better for you ❤️🩹
I hope this helps many people.
