About Me:

Having tired of my previous profile page, I have restyled it… injected it with some current affairs, thrown out some thin clothes (and fat clothes) and decided to paint one of its walls a ‘daring' colour.   It's all part of my (r)evolution you see.   I have been dreaming differently.   I used to dream of the past and even the future… looking upon it as a photo album of ‘future' memories.   Now living has become the action and not the goal.  


As my life changes its course and adopts a more realistic pace I marvel at the neglect I have practiced unintentionally.   Misdirected attentions moulded my life into that which did not fulfil me.


I am:
- A South African… female… educated (I think)… opinionated… emancipated… satiated…
- In love with: bold speeches; kindred conversations over coffee; singing in the bath and 3am journal entries…  
- Determined to make a positive contribution to my native county (South Africa) of which its own speak as most women speak of their bodies: as something with endless flaws and the need for reconstitution.   

South Africans are living inside a miracle of human proportions.   A 'miracle' with the capacity to spiral across the continent if all within it saw the potential to make a positive contribution toward the whole from within their own sphere of influence.  


I am still trying to identify my sphere of influence.   It is not where I thought it would be.   “How very curious, indeed” (to quote Alice).   The people I had expected would be there, aren't.   The infrastructures I thought I would inhabit, I don't.   It's all quite puzzling.  


I have gone from being resigned to resigning.   I thought I might feel somewhat destructive in the process, but the bulldozer only moved in to make way for something new and I am enjoying the construction phase.   Welcome to my profile page.  

I hope we can be friends:)   Namaste!
