The Re-entry

HELLO Bloggersphere. I know, its been way too damn long but lets be honest, if you are a blogger, or even if you pretend to be, you soon come to realize that this is a HUGE commitment, and being of the state of mind I was in last year, I just couldn't, not then but now after thinking upon the new year, what I like, what I love, and what I simply do not care for I came to the very real conclusion that story telling, in what ever form it presents itself, is one of my favorite things. I naturally overshare. I need to go to the loo, EVERYONE has to know, I'm feeling upset/happy/sad/thoughtful, someone has to know. Its the way I am, I like to share, to write, to tell my stories because after all, we are all just the sum of the experiences we have in what ever form they present themselves. That being said I thought long and hard about my little space of the internet and realized how much I missed it, however trivial it may seem to some. It was a way to keep record of my stories, my life and sometimes (ok often) rethink them, go back on them or simply laugh out loud and how little I knew. So now I am back, and this time, Inshallah it will be for the long haul.

The new new

For the longest time I have been an avid reader of blogs. From fashion blogs to lifestyle and food blogs I could not get enough. Enter then my work as a consultant and slowly but surely, my own blogging dreams were shattered into a million little pieces. That was until of course I had the idea for the positive diaries. Whilst at first I knew I would bring in some activism (once an activist, always an activist) I slowly started to get bored with the idea, I mean come on, a girl is more than one thing right? Hence my disappearance from the blogger-sphere to rethink what I wanted "The positive diaries" to be about and what I've come up with is nothing short of diverse is this:

1. Food (Obviously)
2. Style (Not fashion but style, having always been a thrift store and consignment store kinda gal fashion was never really what I was after, it was more like making a R20 skirt look like a million bucks etc...and whilst I will admit I do have some designer pieces in my closet, all of them are thrifted, consigned etc etc, which is just the way I like my designer wear, affordable).
3. HIV (because like I said earlier once an activist always an activist)
4. Travel (Mainly because whilst sitting down with the boyfriend the other day we realized that actually we are huge travelers, whether its Venice in Italy or the Drakensberg, we are always always chasing adventure)

So there it is folks the four categories for the new and improved posts you will be seeing a lot of in the near future so stay tuned.

Love & lightness
