Gardening Memories: A Grandmother’s Legacy

One of my key memories with my Grandmother is the time we spent in the garden. Or 'the yard' as she called it, despite her house sitting on 20 acres of land. My Grandmother Rena was full of superstitions and 'old wives tales' and I wish I had taken the time to write them all …

Small But Perfectly Formed

This has been such a busy week! First of all, we still have our overseas visitors with us until next Monday. Last Monday I had to go back to work and Norm took his guests up Table Mountain. Apparently everyone in the entire province also decided to go at that time and Norm had to …

My Unforgettable Safari Experience in South Africa

This week has been amazing as only an African Safari can be! I highly recommend it as an item for everyone's bucket list. To add to the magnificence was the wonderful man I met and had such a strong connection to. The last was that I had such proof of my manifestations. I asked for …

Word of the Week

I often do a 'music video of the week' or a 'film/series of the week' recommendation in my posts, but I think I might need to add a 'Word of the Week' section because I am getting so many comments by people who identify with my latest explorations into various aspects of Neurodiversity. This week's …

Nurturing Touch & Sound

Do you ever have one of those days that just feels blissfully perfect from start to end? I did last Saturday. First of all the weather was clear so I could pray to the 7 Directions outside on my hill when I woke up. Then I attended our women's group from 9:00 until 12:30 and …

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. …

Desperately Seeking Something

There are so many trite sayings about how wonderful it is to spend time with your grown up children but they are all true. Even doing nothing is fine if I am doing nothing with my kids. When I see them happy and doing well at life it especially makes me feel pleased. My daughter …

New Connections

Today we have woken up to a gorgeous day! Everything outside is sodden but the sun is shining bright and the birds are all singing happily. https://www.instagram.com/p/C9o6XmNKEP6/ The previous week has been a bit hit or miss with the weather with the only consistency being that it was icy cold. The rain came and went …

Celebrating Family

This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …

Hurray for Hollywood

On Saturday Norm and I attended the matinee production of 'Hollywood'. I love the venue Theatre on the Bay and often just book tickets on a whim which is what I did with this show. I knew nothing about the show and when we arrived we were baffled by the fact that there were young …
