Million Dollar Mother

MILLION DOLLAR MOTHER

This goes out to all the women who have given birth to the people close to me, to the women l have met that have touched my heart in the most remarkable ways, to the women l always carry with me in spirit even if l will never know and all the mothers that exist in the universe God has placed our feet on. Unshakeable,  indescribable and irreplaceable million dollar women.

I look at you mom and all l can understand is exactly how much God loves me. You are like the hand of God all stretched out to the world, specifically my world. I can imagine the blissful moment you had when l said "mama" for the very first time. You are the alfa of my existance, amazing how knitted together l was inside of you. You protected me with all of you, me and you together, umblical cord in between, it has never ended all that care you have continously given. I wonder if you realise how amazing you are, the flowing fountain of my life.

Unbelievable how out of this world your food always tastes. 

You are my number one hero,

The greatest doctor of my times,

Pillar of strength,

Your eyes ressembles comfort,

In your hands am complete,

Never mind my age

You are my ride or die best friend. 

At times am a little loud,

Too talkative for your exhausted 

Self to handle but you remain 

Silent, strong and attentive.

The stars in my sky,

My heart is full of glitters

All cause of you.

Nothing beats mama's love,

True love in human form,

The only reflection of God

Whose affection can never change

Like God's. 

You are the flame of fire

That lights up my torch.

You are Hope mama

In dozen quantities.

You are the flavour of the house,

Soul of what home is.

The priceless woman

Whose Goddess presence

Is irreplaceable, 

Soul healer, tight hugger,

My everything. 

Happy mother's day. Every day of my life that you are here with me know that l cherish you being here. There is no creation alive that can come close to what you mean to me .

Women l am thankful of the nation you have provided the world with. The source of life, God's own manifestation channel. Thank you for always encouraging me to pray, taking me to church on my best outfits, calling me with those sweetest names that sometimes made me feel embarrassed in front of my friends, keeping all those weird childhood pictures for the entire family to laugh at, funny right now l actually love it cause it shows how much of a perfect maker you are, a million dollar mother.

How l accidentally fell in love with Radio broadcasting

I say always put on your best pair of shoes, you never know who you may run into. when l tripped and fell in love with radio broadcasting l literally did not see it coming, l was probably lost in the rush of doing something new. Coming back to Kuruman has surely never been part of my to-do list, well it happened and l found myself back home only cause l was chasing a story.

Kurara FM, the Ultimate Choice of the district.  The local radio station of which l had never imagined myself calling it my workplace. Everyone that knew and understood my adventurous heart said "Nthabiseng you need to leave this place, it is not you here". Honestly, they are right, l can feel myself slowly suffocating, even my wings are aching, all they need is to be set free yet this time l actually want to see where the wind will blow me with my feet on the ground without me in control of where l end up.

I had always dreamed of making a huge difference in my community, the aim being to inspire the young souls in my community that nothing is impossible and that they have it in themselves to turn their circumstance to success. Yes l do still dream of seeing young souls excited about a swimming competition, having made it to the district tennis ball team, going out to ice skate with friends on a Friday night rather than the regular lets go out and get drunk nights. Everywhere l go in kuruman l see a potential. Okay, that's enough about my passion for change. Back to my hook up with radio.

I walk into the place and met amazing, talented souls like Boitumelo Mabudi, Nthabiseng Rabie, Thabang Loeto, Tsepo Kgatlhane, Oarabile Mokgethi, Refilwe Thobega,  Precious Jah-Lady, Kagiso Keller, Miss P , Tshepo Leeuw, Lebo Ntlathi, Letlhogonolo Sechogela, Rabbie Mrapper , Tumelo Onewang, Modiri Gabaatlhole, Jeanette Senye,  Keitumetse Ntho, Onolo Jantjie, Carla Martin, Letlhogonolo Moeti, Dineo, Daniel January , Gosego Boyce ,MJ,  Dikabelo Khoana, and many, many brilliant personalities.

People who enjoy and love what they do. More than ever l understood inspiration can walk in with two feet and transport your heart to a new dimension.

Sometimes you strive through the worst for a passion. Behind the mic you stand at the best position to change a nation. I understood all that. I realized that all these people have the power to choose to be elsewhere but they are here, at this radio station, dedicating themselves on a daily basis making a legacy for generations to come.  Kurara FM is only two years but the quality you get there is amazing. I have  a whole new respect for them.

Sometimes one of the hardest lesson you learn in life is that money is not everything but without it your life stands still. I learned l might not get billions from my day job but l walk back into my room at the end of the day and l hear my soul applaud that it has lived to the fullest, it has contributed to a smile that has crossed through someone's lips during the course of the day, someone who l will never meet has been inspired. No work goes unnoticed or unappreciated, no matter how ridiculous it appears to others. I fell in love with Radio through accidentally tripping over the studio mic. The first time l went on air l was reciting a poem, little did l know the verses were rewriting a future l was to live.

Many people who are born in kuruman after obtaining their degrees they run away from kuruman and when they come back for holidays they complain about how boring the place is but the question is if you don't have the guts to stay in it and change it who will? , trust me someone from somewhere will come and change it but not for the good of the community, they will come change it for their own benefits and leave. Even if l decide to leave kuruman l will know that l might have not changed my town entirely but l have contributed to a legacy that will remain known for years. Beyoncé in one of her songs says the hearts that l have touched will be the proof that l lived, that l made a difference in someone's life and someone out there will know l was here. Those are my words too, l was here. Kurara FM 98.9Mhz , the ultimate choice of the district.
