Last week at this very minute I was running around like a headless chicken.Anything and everything that could go wrong was going soo wrong
I was running late for starters. The rain was heavily pouring down on the city of London.I didn't know where I was going.I only carried one representable outfit and as you can see in the pics (White pants and rain dont mix well).I had to fold my pants with elastic bands just to keep them sorta clean. I looked ridiculous 🙄 but well.My brother (bless him) tasked himself to be my Knight in shining armour for the event.Now I could relax and bit I had my Knight to rescue Sis. Finally we got the train and we were headed to the venue. Flashcards and everything packed and ready to exhibit and sell the dream.Our connection trains were caught on time.I was seeing some light at the end of the tunnel...
As we step out of the train ....
Now remember its pouring cats and dogs everywhere its just water and I don't mean a puddle of water but ocean kind of water.
As we step out of the trian the box 📦 😏 with the flashcards fails, everything is suddenly swimming in that ocean of water. Thankfully a handle of people help us to salvage some of the boxes and we try to pack again in that box that has failed us
At this point I lose it..I'm crying I'm inconsolable.I'm literally 10mins away from the venue but I felt like giving up and walking away.
My brother reminds me he's here
He reminds me why I'm here
He's indeed that Knight in shinning armour, he promised to rescue Sis
So I'm rescued 😆 🤣 lol
We continue with our journey, its still pouring but we soldier on
We get to the venue and check in and we are directed to our room
Ehhy this box won't let us have some peace.Now that box again as we proceed up the stairs, I mean the box again fails us ....flashcards and everything comes tumbling down the stairs. Ehhy at this point we just pick up and keep on moving.Finally we set up and we ready to go. My emotions have taken a hard knock but we keep moving. The night goes on without anymore glitches.Good music, good people, good food, networking here and there, making sales, sharing Zöe-Eli Kids story.
At the end of the night.I was exhausted, worn out and cold But I was happy, feeling extremely fulfilled.Met amazing people
Flashcards sold.
And ohh we sold out on the Ndebele Flashcards (coins in the bank)
Lesson learnt: there is always something good waiting on the other side of a challenge.Just don't give up on your self and find your self a community that will pull or push you when you need it most
Cheers
