I am a married mum of 2 young sons, former Miss Souther Africa UK and author of 3 books about the journey to womanhood.

God Morning,
I like the typo, so I will let it stay. I write to thank you for the stop off at my latest little entry, which I have just revised and expanded a bit. It often happens that way. One writes something, sends it off and suddenly has another idea.
I’ll now take a ramble through your work. May I say you certainly have a nicer nose and ears than mine.
Peter
Thanks for stopping by my place Nissi, glad you liked the poem! 😊

Hello Nissi,
Would you consider using your poetry at high school and colleges? Girls/young women need to hear this from someone who speaks as clearly and beautifully as you do. Thanks for stopping by my blog, that’s how I found yours. Here’s to all of our sisters—All my Best, Barb
His Barb. Thanks for dropping by. I definitely want to get involved in school and community work next year. It is the first thing on my agenda.
WOW! I just watched your video.. This is just after watching the movie “A week with Marilyn”…I can’t help but be sad for those little girls who look at self worth through through the lense of our society and what it says is they “should look like” or be like.. He is a Father to the fatherless and close to the the broken hearted.. Great poetry! Keep it up!
Thanks Bill! It is heart breaking to see the way women are almost forced to view themselves. I aim to offer alternatives through my poetry and books. Thanks for dropping by.
Hi, Nissi!
Thanks for visiting my humor blog and leaving a “like.” I just watched the video. Both your poetry and the video are powerful and beautiful–what you are empowering women to be!

You are one very talented lady!

Hello Nissi, first off your beautiful , the header picture is very welcoming . Thank you for stopping by my blog, just that alone encouraged me. I’m feasting on your post and poetry and I’m mesmerized and inspired . You’re my new bff in my head lol .
Loved your poetry project. Powerful stuff. Where is it written down to read? And it’s okay for me to say this – my wife say’s so – you have the most beautiful smile. 🙂
Awww thank you! I am in the process of publishing a poetry book online and hard copy. I will let you know when it is out 🙂
Hiya, thanks for visiting and liking my blog. It ain’t easy hitting the right keys when all I’ve got is paws, but a bit of appreciation makes all the effort worth it.
I love your poem and hope you keep on keeping on.
Lots of love

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Nissi. You are doing some really interesting things with your voice, your words, and your presence. Thanks for sharing your power. I think great things must be in store for you.
Thanks for liking my post today! 🙂
Thanks for dropping by at my blog. Loved the little that I have read of your blog, and am going to make sure I read more of it immediately.
Best wishes and may you always be blessed. 🙂
You have a lovely, motivational blog here. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!
Hello Nissi,
Thank you so much for stopping by and liking my post. I love your latest poetry project: Spot on. In your post Do You love Yourself? you stated that love changes us in many different ways. I couldn’t agree more. The lack of love changes us also. I always get sooo happy when I see people using love on themselves so that they can love others.
Thanks Buster Tonya. Love is a great thing and I do not know how people can be so spiteful and try to live without it.
Nissi x
Nissi, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and liking my post this morning! Glad you did, as it helped me find yours. Lovely header, and I appreciate your courage in putting your poetry out there for the world. Keep it up!
