“The Furnace” by Oscar-Nominated Director Darrell Roodt, is now on UP Faith & Family and 6 new platforms: Exploreflix, Direct TV, Google Play, YouTube Rent/Purchase, Tubi TV and also on Roku with UPTV 👏 See the film that many have said is my best and get the tissues ready 🤧! I play the lead as a runner whose life falls apart after a terrible accident, losing her husband and the use of one of her lungs. She is told she will never run again then meets a doctor who believes otherwise and helps her. She runs an ultra marathon by herself in Africa, that she was supposed to run with her late husband. Many die doing the race. Will she survive? Will she regain hope in her life and find joy again? The film was shown in theaters in South Africa and on Box Office & Showmax there and premiered in the UK on Inspiration TV.

Drawing of me by @maas.art I came across Justin’s work here on instagram and thought it was incredible and I followed him and I remember thinking that I wish he would draw me. And then he offered to and he did! Such a gift to have something like this and he also sent me hard copies. Thank you, Justin, for your beautiful work and kindness.

Why have we done this so many times? I certainly have. Have you?
Do you agree?
I was single for 4.5 years before I met my husband. Yes, I dated. But I never settled for something that wasn’t right for me for fear of being alone. I wasn’t always this way. I learned to love being alone, to enjoy my time with myself, and to be comfortable with just me. Because I was ok with being alone, I didn’t settle and stayed single, which left the door open when the right one did come along. And I know if anything ever happened with us, I would be ok being alone again. That is Peace, Security, and Power. Want someone. Need no one. #poem #quoteoftheday #qotd #quotesoftheday #honestlyworded #relatablequotes #relatable #poetry #poet #poetrycommunity #poetsociety #poetrylovers #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #poems #poetryisnotdead #heartbreak #heartbreakpoetry #healingjourney #selflove #selfcare #selflovequotes #wellnessjourney #relationshipquotes #positiveaffirmationsdaily

Jim Morrison recorded himself reading some of his poetry and after he passed, his bandmates made some of these recordings into music. “Ghost Song” is one of them.
