I’ve been back at Pangani for a week-and-a-half and it’s been great! Cape Town was a superb experience, although I was only able to hook up with the apprentices twice. Seeing my sister Lyndi (and her fiance – my future brother-in-law – Andre) ahead of her wedding there in October was fantastic – and she let me sleep on her living room floor – thanks Lynd! I was doing a training course – NLP Master Practitioner through AHT - and managed to learn lots of things about myself which has some life-changing consequences.

One of them is that I’m awake at 7am today processing my tasks and getting ready for the day. I think all of the NC people (especially Amanda!) are kinda amazed at this new development – none more than me! Turns out I had the following beliefs:

• You’re not allowed to enjoy what you do
• Nothing is worth getting out of bed in the morning for

Changing these has been fun! I find myself more at peace and more able to engage with community and relationships. Hooray!
