Free to be Free

No matter where you go or what you do life has a way of presenting one with opportunities for growth...

As we uncover and conquer our fears we become more whole.

Fear is an unnatural state of being, fear does not belong in your life.

You are a dynamic, flexible being on an endless journey through eternity:

You cannot die
You cannot fail

You can only succeed...


p.s. The picture above is from my entry for the Golden Baobab Prize - results coming soon...

Golden Baobab Award 2012

Here in Africa magic is happening...

Little Human Being stories are popping onto pages, popping into print.

I have recently submitted my entry for the Golden Baobab Award - see one of the little pictures above

One of the Golden conditions is that the story must be unpublished (Whole or in part), which makes me hesitant, even to share the name thereof. My submission was re-requested without images, so I have decided that it must be OK for me to share one or two of them on the blog.

No story set in Africa would be complete without:

An adventurous journey into the unknown...

Encounters with wild animals; poisonous, dangerous, hungry...

Beautiful African Sunsets...

and a magical Mopani wood box that contains........  something :)


Winners of the Golden Baobab Award will be announced in the first week of November 2012 and I will be sure to keep this site updated.
