PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT

So grateful to have been able to travel to Gauteng for the first time in five months! So grateful to catch up and spend time with my Mom. Had a wonderful family lunch to celebrate her birthday; don't worry, we social'ed and we distance'd. 

Very appreciative for a great hairdresser, I've been going to her since moving to Hout Bay. She knows me so well. Initially I was a bit dubious about the length; but, I have made peace with is, and am really enjoying it. The long piece is headed (pun intended) to CANSA. 

Learning something interesting

Via: CapeTownEtc. Fascinating to learn about ‘Hawequa’. A unique occurrence that can be viewed once a year in the Western Cape (Wellington), where a ‘man in the mountain’ seems to appear from the mountainside.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

'The best piece of advice I can give a woman, or a man  for that matter is: No matter how hard things are, don't walk away when the going gets tough because, quite simply, you'll never forgive yourself.' ~Karen Boswell OBE, MD Hitachi Rail Europe.~

THIS WEEK I FINISHED READING...

Leaving Before the Rains Come by Alexander Fuller. This is the follow up to 'Don't Let's Go to The Dogs Tonight, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This one, not so much.

As a team we reread, ' The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,' by Robin Sharma. It's one of my favourite books that have great reminders and lessons. Highly recommendable.

PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT

Grateful for a great radio interview with Olivia Sambo on her progam Rand en Sent on Radio Sonder Grense (RSG). Here's the link to where it can be downloaded. 

Such a lovely chat with dynamic and inspirational Margaret Hirsch on her weekly 'Morning Live with Margaret' Show on Facebook. So grateful for her friendship and mentorship. Here's the link to the interview. 

I am not the biggest fan of Winter, but... I do like the delicious citrus fruit it brings. Oranges cut in quarters always reminds me of playing Netball and getting a piece of orange during half time. 

It's been a deliciously warm day today, lay with Bella in the sun. Grateful for a lazy weekend morning. Madam did let me know that she was feeling a bit crowded

BIGGEST LESSON THIS WEEK / REMINDER

Thought this was rather interesting, the French one is my favourite, which one do you like?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

If it's cheap it ain't good; if it's good, it ain't cheap

THIS WEEK I FINISHED READING...

In my search for an audiobook to listen to as a team, I came across Dan Peña, and found his audiobook: Your First 100 Million. He is also known as the Trillion Dollar Man. I always enjoy learning from different people, and I do like his sense of humour, but, be warned, if you do want listen to it, his language is, well, he says it as it is.  

Interesting take on things, as the title suggests, The Soul's Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries. One of the quotes that I particularly liked:

"Doubt is the dry rot of faith," Indian Saint.
