Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I've mentioned how happy Amelia gets when one of us understands what she is trying to say and I thought about that and realised that being understood is what many of us strive for in our lives, even once we are adults. Maybe that is why I relate to Amelia so, the lifelong misunderstanding of …
It was so lovely spending time with my little granddaughter Bree last Saturday afternoon. She had been sick and was a bit stuffed up but she coped like a champ. She is such a strong bodied little thing all she wants to do is hold your hands and pull herself up to stand. When I …
This week in my daily Native American Elders' Daily Meditation the quote mentioned that Native custom believes that the more you give, the more you get. I love this way of thinking. You cannot just sit on your glories, you must share with those less fortunate. I am very generous but only with those I …
This week I heard a term which really resonated with me. Once again I cannot remember where I heard it, but the theory is that the reason that we cannot see the future impact of the actions or decisions we make today is due to 'dissociation from our future selves'. So we struggle with visualising …
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 …

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 …
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 daughter Lily and granddaughter Amelia drove down from George on Thursday afternoon week before last. It was a 6 hour journey with Lily having to amuse Amelia and drive but they managed it. Lily was carting a truck full of things. She had loads of clothes to pass on to Caitlin that Amelia has …
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 …
