"After I lost everything, the Range Rover evoque was three months in arrears, I had to move the kids out of the mansion, the one with an Olympic size swimming pool,home cinema, gym and sauna 🥺 I felt like such a failure.
I had no income, I had to move. I found an advert on gumtree for a 3bed, 2 bath house in Esikhawini ekasi and the rent was advertised as R3,000 🙆🏽♀️ I jumped at the opportunity, but when I went to view the property was in such disrepair! The walls were dirty, the main door 🚪 had holes and no burglar bars 😰😭😭 but it was the only place I could rent for 12 months without worry.
The owner was a teacher who couldn't afford to pay bond anymore and was moving into her rural home in the outskirts of the township, she was a woman who had a newborn baby by a Ben10 who dissappeared 🥺 I felt so bad, I offered to pay 3.5K.
My helper cried the first day we went there to clean and so I spend 35K painting, inside and outside with quality paint, I put in burglar doors, I refinished the celinings and put cornices, and when I added my expensive furniture, the place looked like a haven, I didn't care that I was fixing someone's property, I wanted to live in beauty....
The bathrooms and kitchen were a nightmare, so small that my 30K fridge was located in then lounge 🤦🏾♀️ but the kids were troopers, we had food and a roof over our heads, no longer facing eviction 😰 and dodging the sheriff 🙆🏽♀️ I could breathe 😭😭
My downgrade from a 3.8M mansion to Ekasi gave me so much cashflow relief that I almost didn't feel broke anymore and I didn't have to constantly think of my lack of income... I relaxed and the energy changed....
In 12 weeks I recieved a call that restarted my life, it wouldn't have happened while I was still avoiding my reality, it took me moving from where I was to activate the universe in my favour...
I had nothing to hide 🤷🏾♀️ I felt no shame about my situation, Gugu Khwela brought me flowers from a show and we made a garden 😍 the house became the best on the street. My landlord suddenly wanted her house back 🙆🏽♀️ the fun we had with Nonku Gumede as I spoke my Stellenbosch english behind a locked gate explaining why the SAPS couldn't evict me on behalf of my landlord just because she wanted back 🙄😂
Did I mention that I had the whole house wired with an alarm system with dololo armed response 🤦🏾♀️.... Everyday I lived there I knew this one truth....
I was NOT poor, I was broke and there is a difference 🙌🏾 I walked like my stay was temporary, like I had diamonds growing in my backyard, I smiled like I had a secret with God.. The moment I accepted my situation and started living from truth, my life changed...
The more I became real, the more unreal life became.... Today I sip that cofee and know that NO situation has power over my mind. NONE
I am inimitable, from the fire 🔥 but unburnt, undefeated and still standing.... what a life! 🙌🏾 -
