11 August 2015
Has another week gone by, already!? Where is 2015 going in such a hurry? Here’s a snap taken shortly after we moved to Tshwane (pka Pretoria). A tractor pulling a couple of rhinoceros statues was very attention-grabbing

You’re Reading WHAT!?
8 June 2015
I’ll tell you my guilty pleasure when it comes to reading, if you tell me yours… Now that I’m writing full-time, a daily routine of reading, writing, revising and digital upkeep, I really crave unplugging my brain at the end of the day. I suppose if a day of hiking leaves me bruised, blistered and … More You’re Reading WHAT!?

ArtDOG (Woof!)
2 October 2014
Today’s the day! Today, ONLY, is the day! I’ve written about Pittsburgh’s Day of Giving in previous years (here, and here), but today, 2 October 2014, is specifically for the arts. It’s called Arts Day of Giving (ArtDOG) and donations will be partially matched through The Pittsburgh Foundation. I love living in Africa, but oh … More ArtDOG (Woof!)

A few months ago I saw this beautiful photo on Facebook, posted by The SanWild Rhino Sanctuary. I asked them the story behind the photo, and if I could share it with my readers. I knew the next time we went on holiday this would be my mid-week post.

15 October 2013
What, or where, influences you? This is yesterday’s post, but we didn’t have internet, so I’ll just have to share Manuscript Monday on a Tuesday.

If You Have Nothing to Give, Take Your Pants Off
3 October 2013
In other words, there is always something left to give, if I’m willing to make myself uncomfortable. Okay, so maybe taking my pants off doesn’t make me uncomfortable, and nobody wants to see me take my skivvies off, but you get the meaning. There is always something left to give. And there is no better … More If You Have Nothing to Give, Take Your Pants Off

Today is My Birthday
25 September 2013
I was born in Autumn in North America, September 25, 1856. Oh, wait… no. That was my great-great-grandfather’s birthday, as witnessed by this baby announcement card to my mom from her Gram Shorts. Let’s just say I was born sometime in the 1970’s. 😉 Before I get on with today’s post, I would like to … More Today is My Birthday
