About Jill
This is my friend Jill.
She likes waffle rusks and milkshakes and ice cream and going on adventures that make other people (including me) go what the fuck??
She spends all day driving around Cape Town, hauling more than 20 heavy drums with her, feeding the spark of imagination in small children and creating worlds of fantasy and fabulousness for them.
And when she comes home she cooks and cleans and tidies and worries about paying rent because when you own your own business in this economy, it is fucking rough out there.
But despite all that she gets up every day and makes the decision to live her best life. She eats healthy, she lifts heavy, she runs far, and she shares her story with others, inspiring them along the way. She talks about sex and lingerie and PCOS and depression and hot guys, and she makes other women feel comfortable and empowered doing the same.
She's walked this journey many times before. She's lost and gained and lost and gained but she never gives up, she never stops learning and she never stops trying. Which is why this time she's managed to lose nearly 20kg and stick with it for more than 6 months - a fantastic record and one that's worth celebrating.
Whether it's raising money for charity, raising awareness for good causes, or raising people up, she's always positive, always cheerful, and always ready to bring her own brand of infectious enthusiasm and fabulousness to everything she does. And she never asks for anything in return.
This is my friend Jill. Isn't she extraordinary?
A couple of years ago my best friend Nicola
Davidson dedicated a post to me.
She did an amazing job at summing me up and
even to this day, this was one of the most nicest
things anyone has ever written about me.
So instead of me waffling about how amazing I
am, I am going to go ahead and let my friend do
the talking!
