Tin Lizzie and the Backyard Safari

I mentioned that April is a month of many public holidays in South Africa and it was lovely having 3 days off last weekend and another day off on Thursday and nothing to do except whatever I wanted to do. I did a lot of gardening in the mornings on the first two days while …

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 …
