It’s been almost a year since I signed up for Art classes at the beautiful Art Gallery in the tiny Simons Town open air mall not from from where I live. I’d seen the classes on Tuesday mornings when I stopped by the mall for groceries and since I was looking for something to edge [...]
Last week my shipment of a few mostly sentimental personal effects arrived. Shipped all the way from Phoenix, Arizona to Clubview, South Africa. My brother and sister-in-law took care of my few remaining earthly possessions after I left Phoenix in April 2014 and after all the issues around verifying my South African Residence Status had [...]
Almost a year ago, I moved back to South Africa. I was born in Cape Town, 63 years ago, and after 22 years in the USA, it felt like time to listen to the whisper of Africa tugging at my heart strings, and come back “home”. Mom turned 90 in May, my business is virtual [...]
My earliest memories are tied to a mission station in Kenya, on the equator on the West Coast of Africa. The climate was fairly mild all year round with no clear demarcation between winter and summer.

Now that I’ve completed sixty orbits around our solar system, the youth-bias messages in our Western Society seem to be knocking on my door more often. I look in the mirror and find it hard to turn away from the voice on my shoulder pointing out the lines and age spots, telling me how unattractive [...]
Me and Emotional Hunger go a long way back – all the way to my teenage years when I started using peanut butter and honey to feed my hunger for love, for close relationships. I’ve known for quite some time that I don’t have to look outside of me for love and close relationships, that [...]
I’ve spent my whole life advertising to the world in general, that given a recipe, I can do anything. But. Don’t ask me to improvise or be creative. Not so long ago, I discovered that wasn’t true. I can be creative when I let go of the logical part of my brain that tends to [...]
