Marica is inebriated!!

I am outlandish. I have asked you to get me Jack Ma on the line to pay his salary. I asked to be called Ruth Bader Ginsberg for a bit. Loving music and for Mother’s Day I believe I may have played all you loved mothers a Miley Cyrus track which at some point of the video had her clawed "down there". I speak in pretty pictures but have undertones of the beauty to be found in diversity, of health for every human being void of social class and which allude to my business interests.  

Mostly, I just attention seek! But in hope that you will get what I am actually trying to say. I know I was born to be a social entrepreneur or with some level of commitment to societies and humanity at large. This particular virus I have just won't bloody leave me...even if a partner did for me showing up firm!

But..

I also let you know my troubles. And there's a few. And I am unashamedly vocal about  business mistakes etc. I speak with you like we're seated (socially distanced) across from each other sipping a coffee, looking profoundly into one another’s eyes as we discuss all matters summarised as "life". But there you are and here I am. Not only seats, living spaces and cities apart - sometimes we are Continents and Worlds apart! And some worlds really make me wonder even more...

Yet still I feel we can relate. We can engage. We can speak about things in a way which feels real.  I mean, real is what we are. We peel away like layers of onions the various titles, the public roles, the suits and responsibilities, the various demands - and there we are. We are bare and just very, very ordinary people even if your bank account makes you feel better while mines makes me feel the best ..about things I am yet to achieve. I am just not wired or consumed about the state of your status because I know that we are all human beings. And in knowing this,  makes it easier for me to connect with anyone. If they allow it ofcourse.

See. It may be your troublesome,  recreational drugging school kid that you leave your social persona to head home to see to, it may be your failing marriage you have to face up to when you open the front door of your home, it may be your destructive binge eating you find yourself having to dine with when the laptop's close. I do not care what it may be, we all have something which makes us human and keeps us real regardless of how much we are in denial of things. 

And it's in this humanness we can truly connect. We can choose to envelope ourselves in respect and what we wish to be working towards.  It is a starting point not necessarily an endpoint or destination and it's at your discretion.

So, I do feel that I can speak with you on various levels and in a way that's everyday'ísh. I may use a picture, I may shout a phrase, I may have a high ask of you but underneath it all, maybe allow yourself to find the messaging on often sobering topics. When I think about a few things it could force one (me!) to seek comfort from the bottom of a beautifully crafted and ofcourse a locally produced wine bottle. In fact, I would go as far as saying I wish I were drunk when I write about some of the things. It would make me feel better about my "density" and the way I feel moved on social constructs especially the ones not working and which ails humanity.  But again, being a healthy vegetarian who loves looking after myself inside out, I would not choose damaging behaviours. Another point while I am at this thought. You don't need to be messed up to be socially accepted. Not to say you haven’t messed up or wont. Who is judging because I’m not. But, you don’t need the various dependencies we currently see outcries on due to country bans on items. I am not saying I do not understand the detriment to those industries. I am concerned. But even when bans are lifted, will you be? How will you surface? 

Anyway, and to close…Thank you all. Also thanks to a person from Paris who commended me on my optimism and personal take ( my style! ) on things. It is valued and you all are too. I speak in everyday language because we are regular people with everyday issues to be found in one way or another.

The world got real in 2019. Isn't it time us humanbeings do too?

With love

Marica

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
