Artist Unknown

In Mid life but not in crisis yet! Well maybe sometimes;

Grew up on Mushroom Farm in the Stellenbosch winelands of the Cape;

Matriculated at Rhenish Girls High School a long time ago;

Married with two delightful and rewarding but sometimes stubborn adult children [who don’t always heed Mum’s advice??];

Has one dog, three cats, many fish and a garden full of birds;

Loves gardening, hiking in the Bushveld, birding all over Africa, reading and interior decorating;

Strong spiritual beliefs: Good will always overcome Evil, We are Blessed to be a Blessing and Miracles happen all the time. [We just have to recognize them].

 

Be Creative

Artist unknown

 

Wise words that have helped her through tough times:

“If Winter comes,
Can Spring be far behind?”

“The Darkest Hour is just before Dawn”

“Every cloud has a silver lining” [even in trauma]; 
[authors unknown to Dr Di]

 

True Words that are easily forgotten

“If I am not for me
Who will be for me?” and

“If not now, when?” [authors unknown]

 

Most Famous and Meaningful words she ever heard [aged 8yrs] from Mrs Rita Maas [Cape Town Drama Teacher] and tried to live by;

“This above all
To thine own self be true
And it must follow as the night the day
Thou canst not then be false to any man”

Hamlet- William Shakespeare
