About

It was love at first sight when I met Cape Town in 2002.  There is always something to discover and something new that makes me fall in love with this city over and over again.  I even considered calling this blog – Sels in Kaapstaad.

‘Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take, But By the Moments That Take Our Breath Away’

A few years ago a close friend was admitted to hospital for over a month for stress.  I was so shocked, I could not believe that you could be admitted to hospital for stress or that it can cause a total shut down. We live in a society where you have to push yourself extremely hard to grow in your professional career. After I analysed and reflected on my own habits, I realised that those patterns were not healthy and I needed to be protective about having balance. It was time for me to take action and focus on work- life balance. I still work hard but now I make sure that I pay attention to my stress levels and practice self-care. I always ask myself the following question:

What if we recharged ourselves as often as we did our phones?

I am very intentional about making sure that I have at least one activity a week to look forward to. So what can you expect to read about: All things fun!!! I must confess….. somehow my adventures lead me to a wine farm, almost every weekend. 

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.”
—Maya Angelou
