The Value of Quality

I've said before that people seem to forget that the end goal is simply to be happy and live a 'comfortable' life. It is up to each individual what they deem to be 'comfortable'. I love house renovation shows and am currently watching Married to Real Estate and recently the beautiful Egypt said 'You can't …

The Best Medicine

For such a hermit I have been really busy, but not so busy that it was too exhausting, the nice thing about a 4 day weekend is you can fit in recovery time. The remainder of Easter weekend was lovely. At lunch time last Saturday I went to a friend's for her birthday celebration and …

Bowing Before Greatness

Cape Town weather is notoriously changeable, most people carry attire in their car boot (trunk for you Yanks) to cater for excessive rain or extreme heat. I often have a wrap, rain boots, flip flops and all manner of things in mine. The Mother City definitely summoned up all of her chaos for last weekend. …

Castor Oil and FlyCatchers

I had expected to tell you all about my solo vision last Sunday but we were asked to sit with it all for a few weeks before we share so I will just give you some generic info. As we were fasting we were only allowed water, and we could not leave our 'nest' so …

Wounded

I keep reiterating that I am finding that now I am on my path of discovery and understanding, I keep getting things driven home to me. This is either via repetition or various other means. This week's phrase is the Witch Wound. It came to me on Instagram, on Facebook and via a friend. “The …

Balance and Control

Our last weekend in the states was spent with me in bed as I was so ill. I missed our family dinner which had been planned on our last Saturday and also a BBQ with friends which was organized for the Sunday. I spent most of Monday alternating sleeping with packing. Mom caught the bug …

Act Two

Considering that I was worried about being able to endure a full week, this week flew by! I find if you are out midweek it makes the week feel shorter. The monotony of our week was broken up on Wednesday when we attended the Opera at the Artscape. It was organized by my friend, a …

Tourist In My Town

I've had a weekend of Kitten Adventures. Saturday I had a long lie and then just after noon my friend Franziska came to collect me for a little tour around my own village, Hout Bay. Franziska and I 'met' in a Facebook group. She comes here to Cape Town to visit her family so I …

I Believe I Can Fly

Obviously I can't fly but that is the song that pops into my head when I hear the words 'I Believe'. I'm one of those people who have a song track to their life. I launch randomly into song constantly. And annoyingly I'm sure.  Whatever.  This week someone started quoting verses of the bible to me …

Puppies and Powers

The last week has been both incredibly stressful and incredibly amazing. Last Sunday while out walking my husband and our dogs were attacked by one of our neighbour’s dog. Our dogs were on leads, walking on the road. Their dogs were off lead and ran out of their own garden and their big dog picked …
