'Amakhosi Amahle', Gifts from MOTION PICTURES, And Worthwhile Advice from Iyanla Vanzant

* Our favourite local soccer team - Kaizer Chiefs - putting one over our arch rivals
- Orlando Pirates. In a Vodacom Challenge game on Thursday night, we beat the 'Buccaneers' 4-3 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 in regulation time.
The Vodacom Challenge comprises of a series of games between the two local giants - Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates - and a team from outside the country. This year's visiting team was Manchester City from the UK.
Our win over Orlando Pirates was a surprise. The 'Buccaneers' are currently one of the hottest teams locally. Last season they missed winning our
Absa Premier League by a whisker. They lost it on a goal difference. Also, they kicked off this challenge by beating Manchester City 2-0 last Saturday.
So, you can imagine the joy of 'Amakhosi' fans at this beating of the 'hot' 'Amabakabaka'.
And we were not done. Kaizer Chiefs went on to beat the visitors - Man City - in
yesterdays final, thereby winning the Vodacom Challenge Cup.

''Halala Amakhosi."


* Us here at  FNB The Glen branch getting an unexpected gift from the film making company-MOTION PICTURES. This is the company that came to shoot a movie/dvd on our premises sometime back( see our 28th June 2009 post).
Motion Pictures gave each of those of us who took part in this shoot - as bit actors - a R500 gift voucher for spending in any shop in The Glen mall.
It was really nice of Motion Pictures to do this. But, I say, they need not have taken the trouble. Being part of a 'movie shoot' is a priceless experience in itself. We would have gladly done it for free.

"You guys can come back anytime."


* Reading one of the finest pieces on the principle of gratitude in the July issue of the TRUELOVE magazine. It was in a column called - True Spirit - by Iyanla Vanzant.
You will normally hear people saying we need to express gratitude for this or that in our lives, but they never give you much detail as to how this gratefulness will help us, or how to exactly express it. Ms Vanzant gave us the lot in this piece.
Here is an excerpt from one of her steps on how to improve one's life:

" Step 7:BE GRATEFUL
Gratitude is the glue that will attract all the things that you desire. It sends a signal to the universe that you are ready to receive. And the more gratitude you express; the more you will receive to be grateful for.
Spend a minimum of 10 minutes a day writing down the things you are grateful for. Each statement must be charged with emotion. Be clear about your blessings and express your gratitude to the universe.
If you can create an air of genuine gratitude, you will be richly rewarded with many delightful, powerful and unexpected changes. "

We are indeed grateful for this insight, Ms Vanzant.


THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.
