Soul Sisters

"Sisterhood is many wonderful things: its a warm smile on a cold and rainy day,  friendly hug, a cheerful hello. It's treasured. It's sacred. It's eternal. It's knowing that there will always be  someone there for you. It's dreams shared, and goals achieved. It's counting on others and being counted on. It is real. "


If there ever is one other thing I would be eternally grateful for,  is the blessing of friends. Friends who have become sisters over the years. My soul sisters. Ever heard of this thin line between insanity and sanity? Aha! That very one. Am sure by now I would have long crossed over it were it not for these beautiful souls in my life. Dear Soul Sisters, thank you for my sanity.


True and sincere friends are hard to come by these days, I must be really blessed to be surrounded by these kind good hearted souls. 2014 was such a roller coaster year in Gugstar's World and am so not sure how I would have survived it without my soul sisters; their love and never ending support.  They have held my hand through it all: the joys, the tears, the laughter, the wine sessions, 'the how Stella got her groove back nights' and yes the shopping sprees  ...oops expeditions (sprees or expeditions, doesn't matter now which is which does it?) ha ha ha and everything else in between. 

So who needs a therapist when one has souls sisters huh? You know you can always open up, bare your soul, cry your heart out without being judged. You are guaranteed they will always look out for you, they will always be frank with you. Always tell it as is and will never let you stray or derail. These are my soul sisters. My blessings. And I love thee.......

Dear Soul Sistaz....thank you for walking this journey of life with me....thank you for the guidance.....thank you for your shoulders and the kleenex....thank you for making me smile through my tears....thank for the bonding sessions....thank for letting me be me, I never have to pretend cause you love me just as I am. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be quite a handful: madness and all. And yes thank you for being my ATMs, lol :)


This one is for you all.....mcwaa!!!

Dear God...

Fear not for I am with you;

Be not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you,

        Yes I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

ISAIAH 41

One of the many verses that make so much sense to Gugsta'rs World these days. I have never learnt to trust in the Lord like I do right now. At times it does feel as though the floods have lifted up their pounding waves and sent them crashing down on me, when the gale force winds blow in every direction and the falling hail becomes all so unbearable and all I do is wonder: why God is watching? Why is He not intervening? Why, why, why? So many whys and whys. Then I remember I have so much to be grateful for. A LOT indeed.

So Dear God thank you for this humbling experience, it's taught me valuable 101 lessons. Thank you for my strong support system of family and friends. But most of all thank you for the promise in your word "you will strengthen and help me"
