A Vivid Verse Feature
There’s something different about the first Friday of December.
It carries a softness.
A shimmer.
A quiet electricity that feels almost impossible to explain —
like the world has paused for a moment, just long enough for us to breathe again. We reach this point in the year with full hearts and tired shoulders. And us South Africans know this feeling all too well - KeDezemba
We’ve walked through storms, breakthroughs, curveballs, and small victories that felt huge in the moment.
We’ve lost things we thought we needed.
We’ve gained strength we didn’t know we had.
And now, here we are — standing at the threshold of the last chapter of 2025.And something about that feels… magical.
December is a strange and sacred month.
It holds nostalgia in one hand and possibility in the other.
It calls us to slow down, reflect, and soften —
but also to believe again.
To open our palms.
To expect goodness.
The truth is:
Magic isn’t fantasy.
It’s not glitter and fairy lights (although those don’t hurt).
Magic is the shift inside you when you decide that life still holds good things.
Magic is hope with its sleeves rolled up.
Magic is that whisper in your spirit:
“Something beautiful is still possible. ”And the first Friday of December carries that whisper loud and clear.
It’s tempting to write off the year by now, to shrug and say,
“Well, whatever didn’t happen… maybe it wasn’t meant to.”
But December begs to differ. This month holds a divine kind of timing.
Things you’ve prayed for can still land.
Healing can still happen.
Opportunities can still unfold in your favor.
Peace can still settle into your heart like a sunrise.
Your story isn’t finished.
Your growth is still active.
Your blessings are still loading.
The first Friday of December is a reminder:
Life is not done giving to you.
There are chapters you haven’t opened, gifts you haven’t unwrapped,
and moments waiting to surprise you — in the best possible way.
So let this Friday be your restart.
Your re-alignment.
Your moment to breathe deeper, stand taller, and soften where life hardened you.
Choose magic.
Choose positivity.
Choose family
Choose Love
Choose Happiness
Choose to believe that the final stretch of this year can bring joy, healing, clarity, and unexpected grace.
Step into this month with openness.
Welcome the blessings that match your effort.
Welcome the peace that matches your prayers.
Welcome the opportunities that match your growth.
Because when your heart is open, life has a way of showing up with surprises.
As we enter this last chapter of 2025,
may you find peace where there was pressure.
May you find clarity where there was confusion.
May you find joy that comes without explanation.
And may you be reminded — gently, beautifully —
that you deserve every good thing headed your way. Here’s to a month of magic.
A month of restoration.
A month of alignment.
A month that brings you back to yourself.
Happy First Friday, beautiful soul.
May December embrace you with light.✨
