Gowing With The Flow
Gowing With The Flow...Umgowo - A Xhosa term used to tell someone that you are going through the most.Variations: mgowo, gowa, gowisha, gowishing.As adults so hlezi si gowa (we will always go through something). Reminds me of a line in the movie The Colour Purple where ’Sofia” says “All my life I’ve had to fight…” It is as though for every birthday, every milestone we reach, there is a test around the corner that we must “gowa” through. Gowing With The Flow which can also be read as “Growing/Going With The Flow” is a series of my life’s journey, the journey of my family, friends and my listeners as we Gowisha (going) With The Flow; experiencing life’s up and downs, wins, twists and turns and moments of “WTF is go(w)ing on”. This is a platform where umgowo is affirmed and embraced. As much as nawe ugowa, sonke siya gowisha on some level in our lives. Look closely at the words “Going Through”, which it’s synonyms are: accomplishing, committing, completing, undergoing, experiencing, enduring… the list goes on. What does it mean for you? My personal interpretation is, we are not buried in the circumstances we find ourselves, whatever happens, we will always come out on the other side. Let it also remind you that you are not alone. That You are loved, you are love and your are worthy. And come hell or high water, we will get through it. Nomakanjani.

This year I promised myself that I would put God at the centre of it all and when I say ALL, I mean ALL OF IT.
