Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
I usually do not really suffer with jet-lag but this trip it has really hit me hard. Possibly it is because I started a new contract the day after we returned home? I have had to nap or at least rest a bit each afternoon as I have not been sleeping well at night, I …
You know when you were a kid and you were on holiday and you had that 'summer feeling' where your skin felt salty and tight from chlorine or sea water? Sitting with damp swimsuits on the chair cushions and knowing you will regret it later after you have changed and you get your new clothes …
I have been on such a buzz with life at the moment. So many wonderful things are happening and the results of my intentions set recently are now coming at me quickly. I asked for more women in my life and I spent last weekend with so many new women I had never met and …
