Day 12: Be Brave Challenge – Mother’s Day
I have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in my lifetime which means I have spent a fair bit of time sitting in airports watching people. The duality of energy in airports always fascinates me. On the one hand, you have people eagerly awaiting the arrival of loved ones. Smiling happy, joyful, excited …
Day 7: Be Brave Challenge – My Wonderful Friend Constance!

Day 5: Be Brave Challenge – ‘The Artist Way’
My attempt at a book review At the beginning of the year, it was recommended to me that I start reading the “Artists Way” by Julia Cameron.

It’s about this little monkey that lives in the jungle who overhears two children talking about how, if you float down the river you will end up in Bangkok.

“Again, again …”
So arrived in Udaipur, North India today after what seemed like the longest bus trip ever. You have to be able to laugh at the Indian timekeeping. So it turned out that the South African couple, that I mentioned yesterday, did end up getting a ticket on the same bus as me. After gulping down …
