I coined the term Pellie Reign (#PellieReign): Purple Elephant Reign to signify the way I intend to live life. This is the era of the Purple Tembo, my production company which derives its name from my favourite colour and my favourite animal - the elephant. I have no brand. There is no art to what I do. I basically find a way to incorporate what I love and what I am drawn to, into what I do. There is no line between my professional and personal, except what I choose to make public or not. I don't want to have to think about if this or that is on message. I just am. So sometimes its messy. Sometimes it's slick. That's life. That's authentic. Whether it is icky or not, it's true.
However, I have come to the conclusion that I do need to be a bit more serious about how I put myself out there on social media. So I have created a new Facebook page to facilitate this. In 4 days I will turn 35. Every year I create a theme. Last year was my annus horribilus, and my theme was 34: get off the floor and find that open door. It was that bad. I turned things around and wanted this milestone birthday to really celebrate the fact that I was able to find the strength to bounce back. I always pick a rhyming theme so I have come up with:
35. Alive. Thrive.
I am sharing this openly for the first time on a public scale. My birthday is my new year, so I move forward on my own terms. I am very excited to share with you all the things in store, that I have lined up. I will be officially launching the page on Monday the 6th of February. To find out what is just around the corner, please like on Facebook so that you are in the know.
