• 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.…

• HOW TO BUILD A FORT

  “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV) In French “be strong” is translated with “fortifiez-vous”.Wow! What a picture this paints!

• 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”…

• The Lion and The Butterfly

  I was lying here, during my last long stay in Mahebourg, mezmerised by the view. I was reading a Paulo Coelho novel and inspired by his metaphors, the name ‘The Lion and the Butterfly’ settled in my heart. I am a motivational visual blogger on a Facebook page, ‘The Butterfly Project’. I’ve created and posted…

• COASTING THROUGH A KELP FOREST

  Kelp Forest – so you realise I’m in cold water, right? Since qualifying, my diving has been mostly warm water dives, wearing as little as possible. Feeling unrestricted and exactly like a mermaid. In the Atlantic however, I need to gear up in a full wetsuit with a hoodie and all. Since my diving is…

• ENDLESS DIVING

  Celebrating life today! Today, a year ago, I dived Purple Cave just outside the reef of Blue Bay, Mauritius. I was travelling solo for the first time in decades and the first time since becoming mobility challenged. During the beginning of my stay, unfavourable weather conditions kept me confined to my studio flat, before I…
