Miracles of Hope

I have been away from this site for a long time now - it is amazing how quickly time flies!! - and feel that with a new beginning it is time to revisit this site. Having recently relocated to beautiful Betty’s Bay which is in the heart of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve in the Cape Floral Kingdom, I am now so much closer to nature - had a juvenile rinkhals in the bathroom the other day and have had visits from baboon troops and meerkats. This close proximity has been treated with awe and respect and a greater realisation of the importance of the precepts of the book. Amazing how getting back to grassroots rearranges one’s thinking!!

A letter from Sir David Attenborough

Dear Carole,

Thank you very much for sending me a copy of your book. I look forward very much to reading it. I’m delighted to know that you enjoyed Planet Earth so much.

With best wishes,
David Attenborough

Life’s twists and turns

I have recently met the most amazing people! People who are working tirelessly to change the world and save the planet - in one notable case despite death threats for exposing the unacceptable! Meeting these people has reinforced for me the understanding that saviours often don’t come gift wrapped and indeed the least outwardly preposessing people are often the ones with the greatest contribution or the most missionary spirit!

Features and feelings

With the first feature (Food Security) in the Cape Argus Sustainability Series under my belt, I am now starting to work on the second feature which is going to be about Energy Security. It is an enormous and enormously complex subject, however as it is so important to our future wellbeing as a species, I cannot complete the Series without giving it due attention. This Series is a natural progression from the book as the readership (374 000 and counting!) is great. So wish me luck please!

A Year of Promise - Promises for the Year

I have this amazing feeling about 2007! I feel that it is going to be a year of personal transformation and high success and that many of the seeds that have been planted over so many tough years, will begin to really bear fruit!! How wonderful if this should be so!!!

My promises for the year are to take my work to another level - To continue working with the highest degree of integrity of which I am capable. To extend my personal boundaries in terms of competencies and experiences. To live without fear and with great love. To start writing another book.
