What was sleep? It’s as if my spirit knew, Time was running out. Early morning plans to go to the doctor, Your weakened state so obvious, Just a foments later, You were no longer. To my dearest mommy: You fought an excellent fight! Your life and work have left us with some amazing insights into life, love and relationships. Your words have helped us all in being stronger, especially on the days when everything makes no sense. I will forever be grateful to God for actually knowing my mother who loved all, shared all and was all she could be! I know you’re in heaven shaking your head at many of the choices I’ve made… but hopefully… one day… like you… I’ll live my purpose with as much grace as I choose to receive from our God! #ControlChoiceChange An excerpt from a tribute I wrote for her funeral. “You do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow or at dawn or else He may find you asleep when He comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep Awake” (Mark 13: 35-37). CHOICE: Marcia, the Believer Control, Choice and Change - her theory on living, a holistic approach to life, inspired by her heart, developed by her mind while transforming her spirit. Marcia believed in making the emotional connection between all aspects of life, mental, physical and spiritual. An excerpt from an article she wrote “Touched by an Angel” sums up Marcia, the Believer: “Trust me, I was feeling some serious pain that caused me to be crippled with fear but not for long. I learnt that with God in my life I had experiential evidence that when you have fear you become numb and dead, and when you have trust you have a living faith in Jesus and become alive.” I want to also take this opportunity to apologize for not including Aunty Shellie who we all joked was her only true friend for years growing up. She saw mommy through so many different lens… from their trade union work, to church, to event planning and catering, to always supporting each other! You were a key part of her life, she loved you greatly and I am truly grateful for her having a friend like you who saw her through many dark times!
