Hello Beautiful People!
Apart from our humanity and beating hearts, nothing brings us together as a nation and world, like sport and suffering. Our views on it obviously varies enormously.
This month we are in the countdown to the end of the lockdown and would like to inspire some great things to do with the extra time on our sanitised hands.
We researched a list of things to do during lockdown and ongoing improvement of our mindset, health and income.
Please let us stand together in helping and protecting those with compromised economical situations and immune systems and do so with pragmatic equanimity.
This too shall pass. Let’s stay positive, helpful, and a part of the solution. It is the perfect time to do Random Acts Of Kindness to yourself and others.
As always, we celebrate some of the excellence of the innovative and resourceful endeavours of South Africans who set a positive tone for our beloved rainbow nation. With or without total freedom of movement, we rock on!
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ~ Viktor Frankl
Victor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who scrubbed toilets to improve the hygiene in the camps during the Holocaust. He survived four concentration camps; Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Kaufering and Türkheim.
In 1946 he published his world-famous book entitled, Trotzdem Ja Zum Leben Sagen: Ein Psychologe Erlebt das Konzentrationslager (“Saying Yes to Life in Spite of Everything: A Psychologist Experiences the Concentration Camp”), known in English by the title Man’s Search for Meaning. In 1959, the title was changed to: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. More about the amazing Victor Frankl.

Update on the experiences of South Africans Living In China
” Those who wish to sing, always find a song.”~ Swedish Proverb
During this week I’ve been reminded of how important it is to make an effort to inspire and encourage each other in love and positivity. Social media is bringing the worst out in so many people and it’s during these times that we have to fight harder not to get swept into this world of lies and of playing the blaming game. I salute everyone that has been able to stay positive, respectful toward every nation, not gossiping, and not giving in to reading and sharing fake news. It’s during times like these that we can decide to be an earthly king or a hero. Earthly kings fight for their countries whilst heros fight for everyone!!!!…Read more

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” ~ Viktor Frankl
To gush or not to gush! In this case there is no option. If you happen to have the superior experience of eating at The Restaurant at Wildekrans and you do not gush, you might have to check your pulse for a sign of life.
