• FROM VENICE TO MAHÉBOURG

  A Spirited Dance  After three months, I had to dust my luggage and defrost the fridge when I started preparing for my departure. This Blog-page was created for the 2023 trip to Mahébourg. I never imagined that I would return again and again. Upon my return home. I was embarrassed by my yearning for Mahébourg.…

• STEERING OUT OF A STORM

  Thundering Thoughts and Emotional Floods Recently I struggled with a storm in my head. I’m sure you’ve experienced that. The type of storm where your thoughts are thundering in your head and your emotions flood your whole being. This becomes a cyclone from which it seems impossible to escape.  In his book, ‘If you want…

• AN ACT ABOUT BALANCE

  A story – rewriting the script and changing the plot. Last night a friend reminded me of the saying, “Your strongest trait is both your strength and your weakness”. I must have heard it before, knowing how Shakespeare’s Othello demonstrates how his unchecked loyalty and trust leads to his downfall. Last night, this reminder, was…

• IN THE LAVENDER GARDEN

  Saving lives and other brave acts. I’ve been silent. I haven’t blogged or dived. Land-locked at home, I’ve been focussing on what I can do with what I have here, in Robertson, South Africa. In the process my life-purpose has become clearer. While working on how to step into that, I’ve carried the words “Brave”…

• WHERE FEAR & FAITH MEETS

  A personal testimony of hope and healing In 2022 I was faced with a challenge – I realised that if I didn’t do something drastic, my already challenged mobility would deteriorate and I would be back in a wheel chair soon. So I started training – I motivated myself by telling myself that I would…

• THE JOURNEY

  An uncharted expedition As I write this blog, I’ve been back on my Paradise Island for a month. Yes, I returned! My previous blog was a short story about a mermaid being “moon kissed”, as I tried to avoid the large mammal in the room – so to speak. At 41 dives, I’m new at…

• NEUTRAL BUOYANCY

  A question of balance. New divers often struggle finding that sweet spot where they can just hover, neutrally buoyant. You either rise uncontrolled, struggling to descend or you sink and risk damage to some sensitive marine organisms.   When I thought I was going to do coral transplantation shortly after qualifying as a SSI Open Water…
