Happy Birthday 2009

Happy Birthday to my little sister, Elsa. She celebrated her birthday on Friday, 26th June.
She is also pregnant - so I'll soon have a nephew and be a REAL Aunty. I'm so excited and can't wait:-)

Happy 70th Birthday to my Dad for Tuesday, 30th June. Today we took him for a surprise birthday lunch at Bloemendal restaurant. He saw there were friends and family at the lunch table and then realised it was HIS 70th Birthday lunch - the expression on his face was priceless!

June 2009

... Oh my word - seems I went a whole month without blogging ...

Well, if you haven't already done and you're interested then please have a look at some of my sister's wedding pictures - Refer Elsa & Charel:

Seems most people are hibernating this time of the year so there's not much to report. Jordan is busy with studying for exams so we're keeping a low profile for a bit, until the studies are done and the results are out.

I did attend a Brain Power Seminar by Peak Performance Training a week ago. I learnt a few interesting facts such as us having 3 Brains - Rambo (Survival Brain), Maggie (Emotional Brain) and Einstein (Thinking Brain). Einstein is where we should strive to operate and this is where our IQ is at it's highest. Unfortunately, most of us operate in Rambo due to stress & every day pressures and this is when our IQ is at it's lowest or none existent.

Another interesting point was the Left Brain (thinking) vs Right Brain (feeling) - our Schooling is mainly Left Brain and then when we're done with school we praise those Right Brain thinker's in the World!

Lots more to discuss on this topic, so if' you're interested to know more then pop in for a cuppa and a chat:-)

I went to visit Ana Rita this weekend - her little baby is not so little anymore, Benjamin is growing fast and so gorgeous!

I'm sure there must be much more that I can report on but my memory is failing me so I'll sign off now :-)

Stay Relaxed, Stay Positive and Stay in Control!
