Life is Beautiful

Well, I have just discovered that I have a brain tumour. Hence all the bad blogging due to absolute exhaustion! Go in for an op this upcoming Friday and feel strong, positive and so loved and supported.

Nothing like a big old brain tumour to get the philosophical juices flowing although to be honest I've always taken notes along the way and this is what I've learnt so far...


•Love with all your might. Love is freedom. Love is all that matters. Love yourself first.

•Believe in yourself. You can do anything and you create your own reality. You can change anything at any time.


•You hold so much power. Use it with integrity.


•Let challenges and competition inspire you to rise to your true potential and in so doing, inspire others.


•Simply do what you love.


•We are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and not the other way round.


•It's ok to just be.


•Impermanence is a beautiful thing. It's an open doorway.


•Take each day at a time.


•You have the right to choose.


•Listen to yourself and acknowledge your higher wisdom.


•The world is a miraculous place and a wonderful gift to guide us through.


•You're never given more than you can handle.


•Don't sweat the small stuff. (Even now, I still battle with this one but I know it's true!)


•Be grateful and conscious at, and of every moment.


•Find pleasures in the small things.


•Show others you care.


•Smile from the heart. A big smile can brighten someone's day.


•Be open to receiving love and guidance.


•In the end, a life half lived is a big journey wasted. Go for it! Life is beautiful!

Starling and Hero

"We restore bicycles. Simplistic. Practical. Beautiful! We hunt in markets, second hand stores and various dusty corners all over in search of classic steel bicycles, frames and vintage parts. We provide a commodity to be used and reused that might otherwise have been lost. Each restoration, referred to as an upcycle, is unique and for this reason each individual is given a name." 

Starling and Hero, South Africa.


'Apple-Daisy'

'Matilda'

'Persephone'

'Bluebelle'

'Josephine'


Thanks K&i Design Studio for this heads up.x

The Greenpoint Park

I have a new favourite spot in Cape Town - the Greenpoint Park! It really blew me away. A beautifully maintained park filled with educational information on biodiversity and our natural flora & fauna, fun and creative things to see & do, bridges, ponds, walkways, a giant sun dial, exercise equipment, a spectacular view of Table Mountain, the list goes on. Bustling with people picnicing, playing games, walking & lapping up sunshine, Greenpoint Park is an incredible inner city haven.






















Do we live in paradise or what?!

Riebeek Kasteel

If anyone wants to get away this weekend but isn't sure on where to go then Riebeek Kasteel is your place. I spent this last weekend there to celebrate two beautiful friends' birthdays & what a wonderful weekend it was. Only about an hour out of Cape Town, set in the Riebeek Valley nestled at the foot of the Kasteelberg Mountains overlooking wheat fields, olive groves & vineyards sweeping towards the Groot Winterhoek Mountains, this little countryside village is a gem. Filled with incredible restaurants, exquisite countryside and interesting little nooks & crannies, Riebeek West is the perfect getaway.





















Visit the Riebeek Valley website for more info on the area, accomodation & up coming events.
