Mirrors

Caitlin and Bree and I are flying down to George today for Lily's 'Sprinkle' which is what you call a celebration of your second child. Apparently they can use their siblings left overs and only deserve a tiny head wetting. This is sarcasm before anyone gets offended. In fact I was recently told that my …

Thinning of the Veil

As a person who loves fancy dress, Halloween has always been my favourite holiday. It is only the last year or two that Norm and I have not had a party or at least attended one. As well as my love of dressing up, I am always conscious that this time of year the veil …

Whatever Happened to Amy?

I watched the new Shonda Rimes series 'Black Barbie' on Netflix. I had no clue about the huge difference in the timeline of when a white Barbie hit the shelves and when a 'black' Barbie was finally developed, and how much longer it was before a black doll with more realistic features was created. The …

The Touchstone

I am happy to see the arrival of November because I have been living the single life for the majority of October. I feel like I cannot really complain because I manifested 'prosperity' and Norm's consultancy has taken off amazingly. Norm is so happy working and his client contracts are what finance my new windows …

The Howling of the Wolf

Last weekend was just fabulous in so many ways. For one, I left my house BOTH days. For two, I got to spend time with my lovely daughter Caitlin and for three, we had our first meeting of the group who will be studying the Path of the White Wolf course with me. Saturday morning …

Last Sunday was the annual Cape Town Cycle Tour which is the biggest timed bike race in the world. There are now two races: the full 109km event and a 42km version which has been added to cater for young and less fit contenders. The event saw roughly 28 000 contestants taking part in both …

Posh Pretenders

This week has flown past, possibly because Norm was away since Thursday morning so I was Chief in Charge. It was a bit overwhelming so I put a routine in place since each of the dogs need meds throughout the day, I put on alarms via my phone and of course created a spreadsheet otherwise …

The Birds and Bees

Our house is never silent. There are the yappy poms, chatty Finn, meowling cats and in addition I tend to always have music on in the background. Even when I sit in the garden I put on music. One day my Spotify was acting up and so I turned it off to go sit outside …

Slippery as a Snail

No matter how determined we are on our journey there is always the possibility of slippage from our path. As per my last blog it can be due to the little devilish voice of our Inner Saboteur or it can be other banana peels which land at our feet. I slipped from my Keto path …

Memories and Triggers

I have mentioned before how we have so many challenges to deal with in South Africa that people in other 'First World' countries seldom experience. My village of Hout Bay was without water for over 4 days. Some areas were without water for about a week. Our house must be on a different reservoir or …
