@bemorebob2 The best kind of wedding.

The expectations to succeed, get good marks and have your future figured out can feel like a lot, especially during matric.

But how do you handle family pressure without losing sight of what you need?

@Mattisamazing33 To cut through the craving.

@Harry20211959 Well done!

What a privilege it was to spend time with the lively ladies of the Gatesville Seniors Club in Athlone!🤩

This club exists so that no elderly person in this community has to face their days alone.

They welcomed me with song, a heartfelt poem for our elderly, and, yes, they pulled me into the dancing too!💃🕺🪩

But beneath the laughter, this visit mattered. These women raised real concerns with me today, and I’m taking that as homework - I’ve heard you, and I’ll follow up where I can.

To the Gatesville Seniors Club - thank you for reminding us what community really looks like. 🙏

It's a beautiful morning and Bowie is waiting for his walk. We'll wait for the sun to rise a bit more, and for Pa to finish his coffee. Have a lekker day daar doer 🌻

🚨🐾 A VERY SPECIAL GIFT TO ZOLA’S PAW RESCUE ❤️
For the past few months, I have been so incredibly grateful to have been able to use a friend’s beautiful bakkie — and most importantly, it has been our Sunday Feeding bakkie. ❤️
Every Sunday, we load up the food, bowls and everything we need and head out to feed the animals who depend on us. That bakkie has become such an important part of our feeding days. 🐾
Now, my friend has made the most amazing decision… 🥹❤️
She has decided to donate this beautiful bakkie to Zola’s Paw Rescue for only R30,000!
This is such an incredible opportunity for us. Having our own reliable bakkie would make such a huge difference to our rescue work and especially to our weekly Sunday feedings.
If anybody would like to contribute towards the R30,000 needed for the bakkie, it would be appreciated more than I can possibly say. ❤️
This bakkie has already helped us feed so many hungry animals. Now we have the chance to make it ours and keep those Sunday feeding days going. 🐾❤️

VANDAG IS EK OP MY ALLERLAAGSTE. 💔

Ek weet nie eens mooi hoe om te beskryf wat vandag binne-in my aangaan nie. Ek is hartseer. Ek is gebroke. Ek is moeg. En vandag voel die gewig van alles wat ek sien, eenvoudig net te swaar.
Die verwaarloosde hondjies.
Die honde wat mishandel word.
Die diere wat honger is, siek is en geen behoorlike sorg kry nie.
Diere wat vasgebind word, weggegooi word en in omstandighede leef wat geen lewende wese behoort te ervaar nie.
En wat my vandag die meeste breek, is dat ek weet daar is soveel meer.
Ek kyk in daardie ogies en ek sien vrees, pyn en verwarring. Hulle verstaan nie hoekom niemand vir hulle omgee nie. Hulle weet net dat hulle swaarkry.
Ek wil hulle almal red. Ek wil hulle almal huis toe bring. Ek wil vir elkeen van hulle 'n veilige plek, 'n vol maag, 'n sagte bed en die liefde gee wat hulle nog nooit geken het nie.
Maar ek kan nie.
En vandag voel daardie werklikheid vir my ondraaglik.
Daar us altyd net' n paar mense wat probeer om 'n verskil te maak in 'n wêreld waar daar te veel lyding en te min omgee is.
Mense sien dalk net foto's en stories op sosiale media. Ons sien die diere agter daardie foto's. Ons sien hulle in hul omstandighede. Ons sien hul pyn. Ons dra hulle saam met ons huis toe. Ek dink aan hulle wanneer ek probeer slaap. Ek wonder oor dié wat ek nie kon help nie.
En vandag het dit my gebreek.
Ek is op my laagste punt, want ek kan nie verstaan hoe mense na 'n dier kan kyk wat honger, bang of seer is en eenvoudig net niks omgee nie
Hulle is nie minder werd omdat hulle diere is nie.
Hulle voel. Hulle is bang. Hulle het pyn. Hulle het liefde nodig. Hulle het ons nodig.
En al voel ek vandag asof ek nie meer kan nie, weet ek ook hoekom ek aanhou.
Want iemand moet vir hulle omgee.
Iemand moet hulle stem wees.
Iemand moet bereid wees om nie weg te kyk nie.
En ek wens net vandag dat mense vir 'n oomblik kon voel wat ek voel wanneer ek hulle sien. 💔
Want miskien, as ons werklik hulle pyn kon voel, sou niemand kon wegstap nie. 🐾❤️

I heard an interesting quote today…

“The devil knows your name but will call you by your mistake.
God knows your mistake but will call you by your name.

So when someone comes into your life and only talks about your mistakes, you already know where that comes from.”

Let that sit with you for a bit.

Ek dink ek is Miles se gunsteling-mens… 🥹❤️ Daai stertjie wat so woes waai elke keer as hy my sien, maak net my hart sing. 🐾❤️ Daar is min dinge mooier as ’n hond wat bly is om jou te sien 🥰

❤️ I REALLY NEED SOME IDEAS ❤️
My Miracle Sanctuary is still a dream, but I desperately need a temporary solution so that I can take abused and neglected dogs out of situations where they are suffering.
I would like to build 10 simple temporary rooms in our yard, similar to what you can see in the picture. Nothing fancy — just safe, secure and weatherproof spaces where these doggies can stay while they heal and wait for their forever homes.
I’m looking for ideas on the cheapest way to build something like this. If anyone has experience with affordable building solutions, I would really appreciate your advice. ❤️🐾
