Just June
My truth this month is about assumption and opportunity. It seems to me that the air between all of us is littered with unsaid things. While it is true that some things should remain unsaid, assumption comes in the way of many meaningful friendships and relationships. My sister often says when you assume, you make […]
About roots
I was doing these standing yoga postures, ones that require you to stretch your arms up toward the ceiling while standing on your toes, and I kept falling over. It’s a simple exercise and I kept on falling over. Curious, I thought. And then it came to me – it’s all about roots and balance. […]
The late April news
I hope you all had a fantabulous holiday. For those of you who celebrated Pesach or Easter – I trust it was filled with meaning and family. I was reading an article in the Mail and Guardian, which quoted a passage from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Gay Science. It resonated so I thought I’d share it: “What if […]
Byebye Scandal!
I see YOU Magazine has let the cat out the bag. I have left Scandal! I had a great time there and I will miss everyone who works on the show. Good luck guys – keep up the good work. I’m full time on the Rivonia Trial. This leaves me some free time during the day, […]

Getting soapy
It was dog-washing in Krugersdorp. A bunch of us went along to wash dogs, repair kennels and paint buildings. It was a great way to spend a sunny Sunday morning, if somewhat heart-breaking. Two families arrived to leave their dogs. They were so terribly cut-up about it. If you can give a dog a home […]
Why me?
I’m having one of those days, months, times when the “Why me” question has reared its ugly head and my focus is a little all over the place. So I decided to try a new perspective… It works – I still have my moments – but on the whole it works. It’s about choices – how you choose […]
Dinner with ME!
This time I really have put myself on the line. I’ve joined Marie Claire‘s charity drive! Buy the Feb issue and vote to win a dinner date with me. SMS’s cost R10 and the money goes to CHOC.
