GPS was a real game-changer for me. Map reading was not a thing I excelled at. On a flat piece of paper, I could tell you where North, South, East, and West is. Off paper, on physical terrain? ….. Now that was a different story altogether! Moving to Johannesburg from Cape Town at the age […]

Forget Passion. Screw Purpose
Anytime anyone asks me what either my purpose or my passion is, the singular experience that sets in for me is brain freeze. Except, it’s not short lived like when you gulp down a freezing cold slushie…this brain freeze morphs into brain fog and it has this unnerving habit of lingering inside of me for […]
Live By Design
I hung out on the lux side of life. But I lived on the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. It was the ‘wrong’ side for the obvious reasons. Life was tougher, and it was a whole lot rougher. All the same, I wanted for nothing and mostly, it was a good life. For me […]

What do you Want?
“If you don’t have a vision you’re going to be stuck in what you know. And the only thing you know is what you’ve already seen.” Iyanla Vanzant In a world consumed by soul destroying busyness, it becomes increasingly important to think about and plan for the future with imagination and wisdom by developing a […]
The Main Thing
I must have been about 10 or 11 when I got my first set of wheels. The deal was simple. I do well at school, and that summer, I get to be the boss of the road! So I delivered the goods and went on to claim my prize. She was a Beaut! Cobalt Blue […]
Boundaries not Walls
From the youngest age we’re taught to be polite and agreeable. We dare not be selfish and hold onto our toys. And of course we comply. We may grumble, but inevitably, we comply. We have to. After all, our survival depends on it! At school this all continues and gets even worse. Public shaming and […]
