When did celebrating the end of high school become so expensive that families have to stretch their finances to give their children one memorable evening?

Are we trying to measure our sacrifice by how much is spent on the perfect matric dance?

LIVE LIFE AWAKE.

Live is for living.

Live it to the fullest of your ability.

Live it joyfully.

Live it courageously.

Live it intentionally.

Live it gratefully.

Live it fully - not just existing, but experiencing.

Live in the moment.

Live with purpose.

Live with an open heart.

Live while you can.

Don’t just exist.

Live Life Awake.

Power today. Gone tomorrow.

There is a saying that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

What I want to talk about today, I don’t think is absolute power.

It’s something else.

It’s an illusion of power.

THE FAMILY WE USED TO KNOW

When I was growing up, family wasn’t just the people who lived in your house.

Family was much bigger.

There were grandparents.

Aunties.

Uncles.

Cousins.

Neighbours.

All were family and they were all around us.

Today

Family is becoming something like a long distance relationship.

Where do we go from here?

Have we lost our sense of decency?

When did modesty become old-fashioned and showing everything become the norm?

From pyjamas and bonnets in public to revealing fashion, wedding dresses and the pressure to look forever young, I wonder, have we lost our sense of dignity, privacy and appropriateness?

There is beauty in every age.

There is beauty in being feminine.

There is beauty in being masculine.

There is beauty in modesty.

And there is beauty in keeping some things private.

What can you do today that your grandmother could not do?

Women have been instrumental in bringing about change in their countries.

Through protest, courage and determination, women fought for political power, social change and a better future. Their resolve in the face of adversity helped pave the way for greater freedoms and opportunities for the generations that followed.

But what happens when ordinary women are faced with extraordinary circumstances?

Join me as we explore two countries where ordinary women did extraordinary things when circumstances demanded it.

The Aftermath of Jonasi

The Polygamist sparked conversations around the world, but what happens after the story ends?

Let's look beyond Jonasi's character to the lives he leaves behind: broken relationships, wounded children, damaged trust, and the lasting impact of selfish choices. We also ask difficult questions about healing, accountability, self-worth, and whether cycles of pain can be broken.

This isn’t a review of the series. It’s a conversation about the people living with the aftermath, and the hope that healing is possible.

An explanation is not the same as accountability.

Sometimes our reasons are valid.

Sometimes they even help people understand us.

But understanding why we did something doesn’t remove the need to own that we did it.

Accountability isn’t proven by never being wrong. It’s proven by what we do when we are.

Delayed recognition does not mean you failed.

Are you in a season where you feel overlooked… unnoticed… or discouraged…

Remember this: being invisible is not the same as being insignificant.

Your value is not determined by recognition.

Your value is not determined by the timing of your recognition.

You are not insignificant.
