Script My Life: Disney Princesses

"If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew." — Pocahontas



I have so many fond memories of my dad. He was like so super cool.And he was encouraging too.He always told us that we could do anything in this world and the sky was the limit to who we could be.The constant reminder I have is that he told me that I was a princess.Not just his,but a real princess.(And I do not doubt that the least bit.)-The Makings Of A Queen

It is almost every girl's dream to be a princess,and better yet,to get married to a prince.Two world famous ordinary girls who got that wish are, Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, who got married to the heir to the British throne, Prince William; and Princess Charlene, a former South African Olympic swimmer, who got married to Prince Albert of Monaco. Lucky girls! (Don't you just hate them?). I'm all green with envy.

Talking about green, how many of you were excited about the first black Disney princess? Princess Tiana, from 'The Princess and the Frog'.To be honest I don't really understand the fuss, because Tiana spent the larger part of the movie as a green, slimy, (kind of cute), frog,and not a black princess. Either way, it was interesting though, to go (*in a Southern accent*),'down to the South, to New Orleans'. One of the places in the US, I've always been fascinated by because of the soul food, mardi gras and, ....voodoo.Sic!

So, script my life today is about my favourite animations, specifically, the Disney Princesses.Disney features have always been magical, and every single princess that I have watched brought a certain quality in one way or the other. Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Mulan, Kayley, Pocahontas, Belle, Merida, Rapunzel and of course, Tiana. (Although an animal, I think that Kiara from 'Lion King 2', should also be on the list.)

These princesses were kind, bold, intelligent, free-spirited, hardworking, likeable and yes, beautiful. My favourites are Belle, because of her love for books; Jasmine for her free-spirit; Mulan for her boldness; and yes, Tiana, because of her ambition. The above describe me, and I relate more as I repeatedly watch the animations. Princesses do not need to be lazy, snobbish or spoilt, and it is a good thing that there are such good examples.(Although Snow White living with seven little men;or Aurora, (Sleeping Beauty), sleeping for years, (and y'all can she sleep); or even, Cinderella coming home at midnight, could count for as good examples). But that is just me.

Now thanks to real princesses Kate and Charlene, my faith in being a princess has increased. Being royal is no longer a thing of fairy tales, but can be a reality. *Sigh* Well, the sad part though,there aren't that many 'kingdoms' in this world and even fewer princes. (In Africa, almost non-existant). *sniff,sniff*

But my script is not about finding a 'prince' in particular, (after kissing so many frogs), I will probably continuously sing, 'Some day my Prince will come'. (Hopefully in this lifetime). My script is about the transition from being a princess to being a Queen. It is about being a woman of influence, virtue and substance.

There is a lot that comes with 'royalty'. It is about sacrifice, being in balance and making a real difference. And it takes a lot to 'rule' over a kingdom. (Your space is your kingdom).

'Every little girl is a princess;and a queen in waiting.'-The Makings Of A Queen

Disney princesses will always be my favourite fantasy that inspire my reality.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

The Slow Burn

Stop trying to control everything and start experiencing the slow burn. Hello, single ladies! Comment ça va mes amies? "Je suis bien!   Gather around; today we are having coffee and tea. I'll get my dose of caffeine as usual. I'm so inspired by the previous article. The inspiration came from the last few paragraphs, where I wrote about the slow burn. I remember the movie, "I Want You Back." The character Emma tells Peter that he's attractive, and she would date him, despite the fact that he is a slow burner. And then Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" starts playing in my head. ("I'm alright with a slow burn"). As I decided to rewrite the scripts for my "love story," the last part challenged me. Do you remember what Kat Valdez said in "Marry Me"? If you want something different, you have to do something different. So, you make a different decision. I thought long and hard about that statement. I believe that I'm ...

Mother Dearest...Bitter Pill for Mother's Day!

There's no greater heartache than living life motherless. I'm wondering when I will finally rejoice and sing, 'The Storm is Over.' I've never been a good liar, this has been a very rough season. Finding hope in hopelessness is hard. Friends are few in the darkest times, doors are closed, and you feel as if your prayers are hitting a brass heaven; instead of God's ears. Sigh! Mothers day! I love how the commercial buzz around this day prompts many to dig deep into their pockets to repay their mothers. It's not just hallmark cards, but bouquet of flowers, fancy brunch or lunch dates, the huge grocery hampers, and more. Mum, amai, mama , went through a lot to make you the person you are, so she deserves you to give her the world. As one popular entertainer said, she is the one, and probably only person, who will pray for you and your wellbeing from the depths of her heart. Mother's Day is a day to celebrate and honour the women who brought us into this ...

Winter ABC Day 23: 10 Things that You Didn’t Know About Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a beautiful mess! Forget about Victoria Falls, the country in itself is a wonder. Through all the trials and tribulations, you can still find a people who are loyal to the nation. There is so much to see and experience in Zimbabwe that travel brochures won't show you. I have jotted 10 unknown things about Zimbabwe. Places 1. Mutorashanga Yes we are a landlocked country but guess what, we have great water bodies. Mutorashanga is that place for great afternoon with friends. Carry your swimwear and enjoy the serene natural pools at this place. 2. The Kariba Islands It took the filming of a television show for me to really experience Kariba. Most people speak of the common place on the man-made lake. But did you know that there are sightful islands by Lake Kariba? My favourite was Rhino island. If you are the adventurous type who doesn't mind having elephants and rhinos visit your campsite, then you will love this place. There's even a beach, just be car...

Winter ABC Day 4: 3 Things that I Wish I Could Do Effortlessly

"I wish that  I was a bit taller, I wish that I was a baller," and we continue to wish. Everytime that I have watched Aladdin, I always imagined how much thought I had to put in my wishes. You have only three but the genpime requests to be free. What would you do? That's not our topic for today. In the previous blog, I shared the things that I would do for free. In this blog, I get a little vulnerable. I fair myself as a multi talented young woman. I have seen what I can achieve when I set myself to do something. I am very driven and won't take no for an answer. But if I do, I am working towards a yes. Please do try me! (Smiles) As multi faceted as I am there are still things that I wish that I could excel at. I believe that if I could do these things, I would be further ahead in life. These qualities would change my life financially as well as socially. Apart from wishing that I was 5 ft 6, what could I do better? I share with you, the three things that I wish ...

Winter ABC Day 1: Why Not Start?

"Accept challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory." - George S. Patton Challenge accepted! For the next thirty days in the month of June, I join a plethora of writers in a blogging challenge. The task is to blog every single day about an array of topics. If I'm a blogger and love blogging, where's the challenge? Oh my, where do I even begin. As I commit I will have to overcome the hurdle of high data charges. Currently I am not earning consistent income because I am part of 95% in my country. But I'm also a 'hustler' (wish it sounded as cool as it's meant to be.) I have a river of procrastination to cross because tomorrow isn't a Ronan Keating song. Tomorrow always comes and I put things on hold for tomorrow. And then last but not least, I need to be still during the storm of load shedding. So why do I want to commit to this challenge. The question I'm asking  myself whilst the blogs from this challenge fill up my timel...
