One day my Soul opened up. It is scary when you have not being listening. I have been hearing just not listening.
As I shed my skin. Move out of my physical comfort, I get a tingling feeling. Not just in my gut. It is untangling in my whole being. My feet getting cold, my body getting hotter as my mind numbs.
Who am I, where am I, and My purpose is?
Redefine, reflect, remember.
Is my name my Purpose?
Karabo - Answer
Nompumelelo - Successful one.
Who is the answer for? Mine or your or ours.
What is success, how do I measure it?
As I reflect and remember, Nubia -Kush...
Who am I. . .

What does business Development mean?
There we go again.
Mind running wild. first things first. I am now back to the grinding. Being employed is just something else. I stayed away from my blog... in the name of protecting intellectual property, you know it belongs to your employer when they own your time. Now one wonders what is going to happen to my employees. Well they are very safe and free to fly as high as their might. I will strongly suggest they do so, otherwise I will not get the best of empowerment from my side.
This then brings me to the inspiration for this post. Here I am in my office... with a view of Table Mountain and the township landscape. Loving every minute of it. With my Dear Life partner... Nyatsa Masalesa. (Bless him to bits). We were just watching a Ted talk online. As always , inspiration hits and then I want to share. Dear me...
Now, here we are. We go by the names... Facilitator, Trainer, Mentor, and so on and so on. Then with a registered company, one starts thinking, we need to have the Business to have its own identity. Oh, yes. That is just what we tell people in our sessions. The business has its own identity and you should also have your own. A business is alive, just as the Universe is. It was a thought, then vision and now an entity(legal, when registered). So it has to have its own bank account separate from yours, and the rest of the systems of course. (That goes without saying.)
So, the deal is now. Masalesa Investments aka Business Clinic. What is that all about?
I have been to seminars, conferences... and visited most institutions that preach or are in the space of business development. So, do we re invent the wheel or do we find our niche in the market. What services are we offering that is different from other entities like us. Marketing 101. ( I am a Marketing Diploma dropout)
So, our background...immediate, that is, is of Business Incubation. I suppose it is expected for us to go that route. Oh, so, nohhhh. So, I was on a break and decided to go to the smokers corner. I see a familiar face, and thought let me go and introduce myself to that chap. New tenant as us. Then we start chatting. As we speak and I tell him about what we do. Universe open up. Idea... pops. Business Clinic. Then, knowing me. I just went to the office and changed a few things. Now, Business Clinic is what we are.
What do we do? We rehabilitate businesses in the township. We diagnose a business and then we do a coaching process of getting the owner to take responsibility of taking on the drivers seat of his/her business. We then offer one on one mentorship (time framed). We run info and training sessions for business owners on " Business Jargon", we also do networking sessions in the space we have, Business and all kinds. (For the love of tea, I will be hosting an afternoon Tea party for business owners in the township). This is what our ordinary business owners are grappling with on a daily basis ( reality vs potential). You find that the business has opportunity, however lacks capacity and visa versa. Opportunity(Market), Capacity(Operations and Systems).
Now where does one go to get these services? For now, I don't know, as of Monday... You know.
As a small business I did a few training classes here and there. I was not happy at all. Then when I became a trainer/facilitator. I was curious about business owners in my classes. young and old. So I went to look at application forms. I must say, it just blew me of my mind to see how many training classes they've done, and they still want to learn. This clearly means there is something not done properly or lack of ownership of process. (My sharing for another session.)
So here we are. We do this with a wholistic ( does this word exist ?)/ holistic approach. We shall get you business healthy and ready on your way to Wealthy. Let us just break the terms we use, make them user friendly for the end user. We are all here learning as we grow and want to empower. Make it your mission to bring meaningful change to everyone you meet. For me this is more than making money as a business, it is where empowerment is. As we work with a business owner, it does not just end there, it is also extended to their employees, and their family members as and when the need arises.
let development be just that... not for individual benefit, for the benefit of all.

State of Being... as raw as it gets... unedited...
Thoughts twirling in my mind, questions unanswered- weird as it may be (Karabo/Answer) I am called. Bless my parents for the name.
Then we get to the second name (Nompumelelo/Successful one)... hehehe....
As I journey , in being me. Is this my break, is this the game changer? Is this the Future in birthing. Changing the rules of the game. Am I a game changer. Oh yes. I am.
Am I responding to my Purpose.. The purpose of my Quest?
As I look for answers am I succeeding in my quest. The answers lies in me. Do I journey inside, where is my balance? Do I question the Universe?
The landscape called me, I responded with my presence. I am here.
One always finds a source to quench the thirst of life. What, where, when ...wondering about how. How has really never the question, that for me was always left to the Universe, My ancestors and The Higher self.
As the echoes of my name was calling, I responded. Who called, my guides, my heart, my longing. Longing for what? Love, affirmation, confirmation... The questions are just never ending. Where does the Answer lie. In me ...
Nubian Kush, Nubian Kueen... the names I respond to. Lerato... the name I respond to.
I am finding myself in Crossroads, funny I reside in New Crossroads. Symbolism in numbers... 9 6 3 . I am finding myself in it again. I have always been drawn to addresses that carry the numbers in different combinations.
Here I am again. By the way where , who when is this going to be. As we record history in the making. As we define our presence, presence defined by limits and Possibilities.
I write what I like... do I? How deep can I go with the clicks of my tongue... my thoughts, my observations. Am I present? Searching to find my future. My presence can never be in searching, it can only be in appreciation. Appreciation of the air I breath, sound of the mountains and seas that surround me in the Landscape of Cape Town.
Did I chose, did I follow the sounds echoing in my mind, or the calling of the land, was it the calling of souls? I am here.
Where is here?
This is where life became as I knew it written in the veins of my being. In the subconscious of my mind, the bottom of my heart, my body followed as I was so wanting to share the water that quenched my thirst. Am I still of water? Am I still the barer of knowledge?
My work gives answers. As I am , will be ... Look at the footsteps behind me and shout out my name. I will answer . Let me know what I have left behind as a Legacy to my kids, my family, my people and humanity.
A chapter in the book of life, a story untold.
Until the Lions have their own Historians, Tales of hunting will always glorify the hunter...

Letting Go.
As we grow and learn. My lesson for the week is letting go.
How wonderful it is to belong. That has been the order of the day. Part of being human is finding a sense of belonging. Work, social and family, we want a sense of belonging. I think that is what creates an avenue of expression and common ground.
I am looking at the contracts (both physical and at a Soul level) that I have signed. Work wise it is somewhat easier to let go, especially if you are self employed, work for yourself or an entrepreneur. It is a totally different ball game from a Soul's perspective.
How do you let go when you find yourself in a position of Love, Happiness and Growth(Development). Not only your own, including those that you interact with on a daily basis. As difficult as it may be, one has to let go and Let God, or let growth.
That is how it is when your kids are just blossoming to define themselves around you as a parent. That is how it is as your business grows and takes its grounding to enter into greater spaces that defines a sense of belonging.
As I let go and give my kids space to define themselves, As I let go to let Nubian Kush be defined as an entity I am building, and As I let go of work when I have a sense of belonging and wanting to hold on. It is well and it is growing pains.
I am eternally Grateful to walk part of my journey with you. I have to continue spreading my wings. I have been blessed to meet and work with you, you were my shelter and provider when I needed a nest to house me as I was looking for a place to call home. You have been a bridge for me. I will always be there to work as and when required. Business Bridge, I thank you.

As we Grow and Learn.
It has been a while.
Nubian Kush. As I grow and I learn.
Now sisterz decided to explore the land of Azania(South Africa). Am now in South of South Africa, Cape Town.
It has been six months to be exact. Some done and dusted, some in the planning and some in action.
I am officially residing in Cape Town(Mother City) it is called, by the locals.
I am afforded the pleasure of contributing to the work done for the City Of Cape Town, as a designer for World Design Capital Cape Town 2014. Well, never did I ever imagen this in my life. I have always used my hands to create and thought it was just for fun and make some money. Now Nubian Kush has grown to another level. Brand is growing as a child does and walks on their own. I am eternally grateful for all the gravitational force. Being present and listening to the winds calling has just been the order of the day.
Now, Gratitude as it comes. Mama (Nomazizi Ngwebelele), I am because you are. Dankie Dali'wam. Lehakoe, Mahlodi,Malaika, Sefako, Lufuno le Matlotlo. Thank you for choosing me. This is all you in manifestation. Nyatsa(Motho Motho), where have you been? Jerome(JJ), net daah. I am eternally grateful for keeping and honouring the contract.
My lessons... Follow your heart. Love is where the heart is. Now issues of emotions are what life is. I am learning to be more present by listening more to my instincts. Your senses will never lie to you. It is sooooo always present and true. Believe it and trust it. Right now I am receiving blessings and lessons. Where will I be tomorrow? I will know tomorrow. Right now am following my heart and letting the wind guide me. When you get a funny feeling about a person, please..... Do not go and be a psychologist and want to analyse. Trust it and do as your higher you guides. In your personal life, in your social life and Business. As difficult as my day has been, I know my Guides will never mislead me. As long as I stay true to myself, am as good as can be.
I need to go for now. Thank you for visiting. Till we meet again.

Love
Greetings to all with Love.
I would like to start with appreciation/ gratitude.
I am blessed to have all 4 of Angels living and growing with me in this life time. Lehakoe, Malaika, Lufuno le Matlotlo.
I would also like to say, Mmamodiya Ndlovu, Sage Tose, and Nyatsa Masalesa...... As is.
I have challenged myself to be the friend I am looking for and a partner I am looking. I am manifesting. There is so much I want to share.
1. You are the Universe in a human manifestation. ( A universe having a human experience). You are the it. and life is just continuing.
2. As for parenting, your kids always reflect your emotions and actions to you. I used to observe Lehakoe a lot when he was younger. He used to just reflect my emotions, that's where I started relating with reflections. Presently all my kids reflect different characteristics of who me is. that is love and growth.
3. Mmamodiya le Aus Dinkeng. Thank you for the tough love. It so beautiful to share my thought, knowledge and emotions with you. For being tough with me, you have helped me to heal and be the light. As much as you learn from me, I am learning so much from you. the wise say, you teach what you need to learn. In that, I have a lot to learn, that is the reason I teach.
4. Nyatsa.....lets flow with the waves. Water flows everywhere. It heals, it builds and gives Life.
Lerato le monate, ha o na le lona ka pelong ya hao.
Let me go and work...... will be back soon.

A different Approach...
Greetings in to all in the new season.
I have been deep in thoughts and just also doing some reflections. Reflections in totality. Emotionally, physically, mentally, friendship, relationships.
Where does one really start/begin? As far as my kids are concerned, I am blessed to eternity. Lehakoe, Malaika, Lehakoe and Matlotlo.
LIFE AS IS. If you do things the way you have always done them, you will get the results you always got.......
Now, where, how and what does one need to re-look at and change? Is it processes, is it approach, is it attitude. Do you build new friendships, acquire more business. What? What? Here I am sitting here and doing things different. One I just made a decision to re look at my eating habits. What I eat, how do I eat and when do I eat.
This has had a positive effect on me. I am for some reason more alert, energetic and more relaxed. I have also increased my water intake. Amazing how drinking water as you wake up, before a meal and before you go to bed has just changed the way I feel. It is refreshing.
It is true that a Good habit is as easy to form as a bad one.
I think I also want to make writing and sharing in this platform a habit. I mentioned a number of things that I want to change. The one thing that is making my heart heavy at the moment is relationships/friendships. I am looking at defining them for myself. What is a friend. I just don't even want to think much about it for now.
Someone said ' If you want to have a good friend, be one. ' am I one. My issue is, if I am one, do I then bring expectations to it, as an acquaintance asked me. When I just asked him what were his fears, he turned around and asked me the same question, which I answered, he then asked if I wanted something from him, and if I had expectations from him. It was rather wierd for me, because I was rather not expecting anything from him. Then It was reflection time. I asked myself I had the energy of expectations. Maybe I did and that's what he picked up.
Aloof...... Maybe I am..... So...... I looked at my energy and though hhhmmmmmm.
Maybe I need to do some energy work on myself. I am guilty as charged, when it comes to having knowledge and not using it. THE POWER OF KNOWLADGE. ....right there. So, I have started practicing Meditation time, both in the Morning and in the Afternoon. Make time. That's all there is to it. Make time, make time and make the changes.
In all this I would like to Give Gratitude to the Power that is in Me and around me. The Universe, My Ancestors, those who walked and experienced the journey before me and prepared the path for me to walk with Love and Compassion. I am blessed and I could not have done it without you. As for now I just am, Present in my Life and will let the all Guidance be the light in my life and I will listen.
Strength, courage and wisdom.
