Bring in the Clowns

Superheroes have a lot to answer for. Even old school knights were often pictured with a cape wafting heroically around them in the wind. We talk about someone 'caping' to mean defending someone indefensible. We have been conditioned to expect a man to come and save us from all of our dilemmas. Even I do …

Let It Burn

We have a family 'joke' that every time Norm travels out of the country there is some drama or catastrophe. There were a few dramas this week which would normally be dealt with by Norm, but with him not here I had to be both Lisa and Norm! I mentioned in a previous post about …

Anxiety Blocks the Light

Yesterday was such an eventful day that my post is a wee bit delayed. Usually I write a bit at the end of the day as well so that I do not have to try and remember what I did, but this week I did not do that so I hope I do not mix …

Showing up Authentically

This week I have learned some new terminology for some of the same old 'quirks'. I keep discovering that the weird little behaviours I have always done are either stims, or characteristics of either Autism or ADHD. For example, constantly singing is a ND trait. I sing continuously either in my head or out loud. …

Have A Little Faith in Me

I mentioned in last week's post about the taxi strikes and the resulting drama and damage around Cape Town. This week has been full of drama as well. So many people are unable to get to work, the shelves in the shops are bare. Many people are walking far for minimal food as there is …

Dragonflies and Fairies

This week we had our first meeting of the Trailblazers for the Church of the Earth. I mentioned last week that I have been asked to help with their social media and blogs. I have already created a Pinterest account for us as we attended a blog webinar which said that Pinterest is one of …

When we woke last Sunday we saw that there had been a fire in the nearby township during the early hours of Saturday morning. The blaze was reported to Fire Services at 23h56 and six pumps, two water tankers and rescue vehicles were quickly on the scene and brought the blaze under control at approximately …

Lazy Days and Sundays

Last Saturday Norm and I joined our friends Dave, Julie and Darren for lunch at Chef's Warehouse which is a beautiful restaurant at the Beau Constantia Vineyard. They also have a designated area for wine tasting or just to imbibe in a social setting. We have so many choices of first class restaurants on our …
