Your message to the community of Thesis Lifestyle during this difficult time?
Let this time be a self reflection of what it is you want to achieve no matter how small, that little step is victory worthy of being celebrated, be happy with your present being and allow space for growth, taking notes from the universe as it speaks to us. Lesson of the Lockdown is practicing preparation, being ready for the next 24hours of your life and time. Times like these require positive and a rich mind for forgiveness and creating positive vibes with self.
Wireless G/G/Galebowe - Creative Director
How are you keeping up?
I'm doing well. Mentally strong and healthy. Forever grateful for the small mercies being extended our way. Not really happy with my sleeping patterns, but I guess that will be fixed once the lock down has been up lifted.
What does your daily routine look like?
For the first two and a half weeks I kept to the same time table so that I do not lose my morning routine which normally consists of meditation, prayer and exercise or running. Once that is out the way, I'll have a shower and have breakfast. My daughter was around for 3 weeks and having her was a breath of fresh air. We would watch movies, do her school work and bond over board games and playing cards.
I try make sure that I read books and articles, watch IG Live interviews and watch positive content on streaming platforms. I've banned commentary on COVID-19 that's not from a official source.
What do you miss most?
Mofolo store and office- Stand up meetings with the staff, the music playing inside the store, gentlemen banter and the vibe of "ikhona lom'hlaba".
Orlando Store- The vibe from our neighbours, Moja Cafe and the smell of potential of Orlando. I also miss the general beauty of our stores and meeting up with our suppliers.
Which relationships are you nurturing most at this moment?
The relationship with myself, daughter and parents. I've bonded with my mother through cooking and baking. It's been great.
Your message to the community of Thesis Lifestyle during this difficult time?
It's not the end of the world but the beginning of a new normal. Rest your energies and keep ya head's up as Tupac said.
First thing that’s on your mind after lock down?
Finishing off the projects that we had assembled for 15 Years of Thesis. The work don't stop and we have to deliver on our promise to our staff, customers and ourselves as a business.
