We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen

We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen, Alifeleadsimply

These last couple of months have been hard, globally. First, we watched with horror at what was happening in China, then with fear as it started to spread to other countries. Then we started worrying about our own country – will it hit here? And then the seemingly inevitable happened – we had our first … Read more We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen

Dear single mama

Dear single mama, Alifeleadsimply single mama

While I know, these words will not win your internal battle, I sincerely hope it will at least strengthen the winning side: right now, in this season of life, under these weird and abnormal circumstances, you, brave single mom, are doing a stellar job.


Hi! I am Esrida, mama to two beautiful girls. Although I never planned to be a single parent, my life has taken a few unexpected turns which lead me to this place. Luckily for me, I could find the blessing and reason in each disruption, and now it is my heart’s desire to inspire and motivate you to realise that even though your kids might come from a single-parent home there is no reason it should be a broken one. There can be purpose in your pain, and healing in the journey.

Het die wonderlikste moedersdag gehad. Eers gewerk, want ja mammas werk en is suksesvol en kan dit doen, selfs met 2 klaende kleintjies wie moet saam piekel. En toe vis en chips saam met hierdie besige klomp. Ons kon die totaal van 1 foto neem, want dis hoe ver ons almal se negotiating skills strek 😝 en die kleintjies wou speel voor ons almal weer uit mekaar spat.

Moedersdag gaan minder oor die mamma, en meer oor die mense vir wie ons mamma mag en kan wees. Sonder hulle is ons nie mamma nie. Dankie vir myne, vir wie ek mamma mag wees. Dis lekker. En dankie dat ons dit kon deel.
