A Love Note from Ntandoyenkosi Kunene
I want to remind you that you are doing an exceptional job during this time. As long as your kids are happy and you are happy.

Perfecting this thing called motherhood looks different for everyone. Some days it’s planned lessons and home cooked meals and other days it’s 2min noodles, screen time and hiding in the bathroom to have a snack.
‘Doing your best’ will look different every day. On Monday, ‘my best’ was cereal for supper. Some days my ‘best’ is skipping lessons and letting YouTube babysit while I finish my work.
Jou woorde gaan le diep in my, onthou sonder jou sou ek nie hier wees nie.
You are your best asset and the best of you is what your kids need.
There’s no role more essential, especially in the times that we are living in, than motherhood.
Ma…the first word we utter in recognition of our Source in heaven and earth.
I wish you a motherhood journey of love, laughter, beauty, courage, hope and deep gratitude for the lessons and rewards that come from it one way or another.
Motherhood is everything. To quote Tess Guinery, I am totally ‘into it’ and so ‘over it’, so alive and so tired, so hopeful and so unsure, so brave and so afraid, so confident and so crazy, so purposeful and so aimless, so intentional and so ‘go with the flow’.
Nevertheless, throughout my motherhood journey, I have learned that my daughter Oyisile Murhangeri (whose names loosely translate to victory and leader) moulded me into the person that I was destined to become. She has made me understand the true value of life and taught me how to persevere regardless of challenges, a trait that I could have possibly ignored if she was not here.
