As you all know I just got back from the R&R retreat all along the Garden Route – It was absolute BLISS… The mystics say that there are invisible realms…  hidden dimensions to our Universe that cannot be seen, felt, tasted, touched or experienced with our five senses. 

But the irony is that I experienced something there in the Knysna Bush, the mountains and the sea that brought me to my senses – a peace that stopped me in my tracks, so to speak!

 This all I experienced abundantly in the absence of forever-being-connected – always feeling the stress and urgency of daily tasks and too many commitments.  You know, the kind of mantra I picked up somewhere: “I have so many things that I still want to do! I also want to make a difference in the world” – And then all of this at the same time.  I used to call it my spunk… no more…

I truly did not want to come back to Gauteng, believe me.  Whilst relishing the fresh air, the majestic beauty and serenity of nature something precious came to settle ever so quietly into the silence of my core-being: something I had to face and accept… the reality that I lost my spunk (fighting spirit?) somewhere… perhaps it was en route 66 - 67.

I commit to embrace the Wisdom and Peace that came with Acceptance to replace SPUNK… and so I’ll journey and jounal on with Gratitude.  My Goal is to “stay in the Garder Route” for at least another 30 days.  Keep me accountable, if you like…
