• 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 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…

• CROSSING BORDERS

  CROSSING BORDERS I knew it was time to go. I knew that crossing the border back into my country of origin would be an adjustment. To start with, the temperature differences would be extreme after 3 months and 2 weeks of constant day and night temperatures around 25˚C and the sea about the same. There…
