So according to my new weekly blogging process ‘Monday is Fun Day’. This may be so, and I’m going to try stay optimistic about this particular Monday, but I have so much work to do as well as study. So to keep myself motivated as well as in the ‘Fun’ mood Monday’s should be I am going to share some things you may or may not have known. I found these awesomely colourful images on Learn Something Everyday and couldn’t resist sharing them.

I have gone and bought the One Tree Hill box sets starting from season one. I love it! It has become a ritual to get into bed and watch an episode every night before I go to sleep. At the moment I am on season four of the series.

My favourite character, unlike most, is not Lucas. My favourite character is Peyton. I love her art and, above all things, her music.Oh, and I love her car!!!

Yes it’s true. Even Hitler had a favourite car. It may be different to most people’s cars, as even then (WWII) it was bullet proof, and convertable. Isn’t that ironic?

So Saturday night the boyfriend and I were driving back home from Johannesburg when we suddenly saw this strange ball of fire flying through the sky. It then exploded causing, a rather scary but beautiful stream of light that lit up the sky so much that it looked like complete day light.
I consider myself very lucky to have seen this live.
So Yesterday I freaked out! Why? Well, I have been living in this room of chaos I call my bedroom and blaming it on the fact that it’s that time of year again – exam time. Well, enough is enough. Last night I repacked my closet, not only that, and I am giving away about 60% of my clothes too. And now my closet looks empty – well almost empty. I am even getting rid of some shoes. Ouch, it hurts to say those words out loud. I love my shoes and never thought that I would get rid of them, but it was time.
Today, I also started going through old boxes (boxes that haven’t been unpacked since my last move). Today I am parting with many of my childhood toys. Can anyone believe that I still have them? One thing I am keeping is most of my Barbie collection. When I was a little girl I promised myself that I would keep my Barbies for my daughter one day – I now realise how ridiculous that promise was but I figure, I got this far so why throw them away now.
I also found my ‘memory boxes’ from primary school and high school. I barely even looked through them. I threw them away! I started going through them and realised that I have no idea what the little things that i had put in them remind me of anymore. My high school box was mainly filled with letters and photographs. I took the photographs and foreign currency out and threw the rest away without even looking at the letters again.
A part of me says I’m crazy, and a part of me just doesn’t care about that part of my life anymore. The fact that I can let go of all those memories (good and bad) amazes me. I have never been able to do so in the past. I have always held onto every memory as if remembering it will help me stay in touch with something that is now gone. Well, I realised today that I am starting to let go of those memories without realising it. I am also ashamed to say that I forgot a promise one of my best friends and I made when we were in primary school. I think it had something to do with 21, but can’t really remember what that was. I am almost dead sure that I remembered two years ago.
I wonder, does everyone start to forget things at a certain point or does one consciously/subconsciously have to make a decision to do this? If so, why is this happening now in my life?
The dance studio I have taught at for the past five years is closing down. Shock!!!! Well it was to me. Strangely enough I immediately knew what i was going to about it and was not left wondering ‘what now?’, not even for even a second. This surprised me, and possibly other people too. I know exactly what I am going to do now… I’m opening my own dance and pilates studio.
Through my five years of working at Donzelle Dance Studio I learnt a lot of what I would do, and a lot of what I wouldn’t do if I had my own studio. I have always wanted to open my own studio and I see the fact that Donzelle Dance Studio is closing down as a blessing in disguise and possibly the push I needed to get started. Studio of Motion (my new studio) is a not only a dance studio but a Pilates and dance photography studio too.
I am so excited about this new chapter in my life, and even though my heart breaks at the thought of my old studio closing down, I know it has happened for a specific reason.
I have been working really hard for the past few weeks and am proud to say that I will have 2 studio’s, the facebook page is done, and the website is getting there (you can already register and download the prospectus).
