In South Africa we experience daily power outages because the demand for electricity exceeds the available supply and planned supply interruptions are carried out. It is called load shedding. Load shedding contributes to the failing economy and affects the most vulnerable members of the community. The uncertainty that comes with load shedding is sure to cause anxiety and depression for many people too.
Whatever your troubles are in your part of the world, I hope things get better and that we find our beacon of hope that will help navigating the darkest passage of life.
When you feel your light dimming
Reach out for help to overcome your worries
Shed some light that there is hope
Allowing love to overshadow the hate
Spark others on by doing good
Replacing fears with calmness and peace
As we choose to be a beacon of light.

Thank you so much Joni🌸💕 Unfortunately, everyone is affected. Planning is very difficult. Load shedding contributes to the failing economy and affects the most vulnerable members of the community. There’s also the effects on household appliances because load shedding causes power surges. We forced to spent money on other alternative power sources during load shedding. Loadshedding is more than just an inconvenience, and it has real consequences on our daily lives, including our security. There’s the loss of communication, and so much more. The list of problems due to load shedding is unending. I better stop, before I rewrite an entire blog 😉 Thank you so much for your kindness dear Joni, sending much love your way ❤️
