Starting Afresh

I moved to France in the middle of Autumn|Fall and I left South Africa before the end of winter. That means I have had the longest winter.  The temperatures of the Northern Hemisphere have weighed heavy on this Southern girl and child of the Sun. Tomorrow is the first day of spring and I Love the season. It is all about the new, fresh and a sense of rebirth that nature so seamlessly and elegantly parades... Here’s to the new.

Far From the Timid...

The Path

"Traveller, there is no path. 

Paths are made by walking"

- ANTONIO MACHADO

Wonderful World

" Be soft. 

Do not let the world make you hard. 

Do not let the pain make you hate. 

Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. 

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

"The Single Story" Chimamanda Adichie

" Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding."

Be Brave

Soul and Mind.

Being Frank

Most winter afternoons I spend with the incredible Frank (Frank Ocean, to you). One of my favourite tracks is "Thinking About You". I bumped into these ladies on You Tube and I enjoyed the cover of the song.

Your music is a Gift and I am a believer
