Follow your heart, follow your dreams on the right track to your destiny.

It is the second time in 5 years that i have read this book and still I am amazed. Beautifully written and biting at the very tips of our souls and grabbing at the strings of our hearts. This story of a little shepard boy brings me to envy each time that I read it. If only our lives could have so many simple choices. Be a baker, a merchant or a shepard - would you have had to think twice ?

I could creep into this little shepard boy’s heart and I could feel the yearnings of his soul, I would have loved to be a travelling writer. I would have loved to just follow my heart to my destiny. But I fear people, life today just simply is not that easy.

Our choices are almost forced and we have to do what is needed to survive. But to a certain degree I think if we put it straight. We all need short term plans to buy our freedom later. So maybe it still comes down to the same point.

The shepard boy had to be robbed and stuck in a job for over a year to actually go in search of his treasure.

Just keep the profound statements in bold in your head. Never ever stop listening to your heart.

This book is captivating and inspiring. Simply written with a massive profound punch line. Stop listening to your heart and your destiny will stop calling you …

After a rocky start to a westcoast expidition starting in Vereeniging, my parents are finally settling down and enjoying their destination. Fixing their car in Darling visiting Evita’s Perron, having a fabulous day traveling through his house, it seems like they are mastering their traveling.

We are heading out there for the weekend to go spend some time with them before they head in deeper into the west coast. Will keep you updated.

Cape Point

tmnp.jpg Cape Point

 We took a trip there from Blouberg as i have never been to Cape Point. We tried to go there once before on a public holiday and didnt even make it to the gate is was so busy. The hike up to the lighthouse was wonderful and the scenery around you magestic. There is so much to explore and the Two Oceans restaurant with its magnificent view is truly an experience and shouldnt be missed. But catch it when there is electricity otherwise you will be eating warm greek salad and luke warm water.

The entire park has so much history to discover.

from their website :  http://www.capepoint.co.za !

TMNP & the Cape of Good Hope Cape Point is situated within the Southern section of Table Mountain National Park, the Cape of Good Hope entrance. The Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) encompasses the incredibly scenic Table Mountain Chain stretching from Signal Hill in the north to Cape Point in the south and the seas and coastline of the peninsula.

The narrow finger of land with its beautiful valleys, bays and beaches is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the warmer waters of False Bay and has within its boundaries two world-renowned landmarks - majestic Table Mountain and the legendary Cape of Good Hope.

The Park is recognised globally for its extraordinarily rich, diverse and unique fauna and flora - with rugged cliffs, steep slopes and sandy flats - is a truly remarkable natural, scenic, historical, cultural and recreational asset both locally and internationally. Nowhere else in the world does an area of such spectacular beauty and such rich bio-diversity exist almost entirely within a metropolitan area - the thriving and cosmopolitan city of Cape Town.

The Bucket List

The Bucket list

THOUGHT PROVOKING – AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER

After watching National Treasure going to the bathroom an elderly lady caught me and a friend in the bathroom washing our hands. And with a friendly smile engaged in a conversation with us exchanging our movie experience. She had a fire inside of her eyes and I am sure she was sixteen again waiting for the summer party in the greek isles.

She said that The Bucket list was rather thought provoking and put her on an emotional rollercoaster. And after watching it last night sobbing in my seat at the end I knew exactly what she meant. I wanted to mend all my broken relationships and I wanted to make my own short term to do list. I also felt chuffed with myself that I had done at 27 most of what I set my heart out to do.

THIS IS A MUST SEE. IT CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE THE WORLD.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman truly captures your very heart in this movie. Outstanding performances from both of them.

“The Bucket List,” which has earned nearly $60 million since opening Dec. 25, brings actors Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman together as cancer patients who become buddies and undertake “the road trip of a lifetime.” This pair goes everywhere on Nicholson’s private jet - which would carry a price tag of at least $54,000 each for the journey they took.
