What 15,000 Pairs of Shoes Looks Like

July 28, 2010 South Africa

A few weeks ago, Hero Hubs spent a long and lunchless day in a sugar warehouse. Working through extreme tiredness, a busy and slightly stressful season, and a nice wee bout of Bronchitis, he was sorting shoes for Samaritan’s Feet South Africa’s Shoes of Hope distributions, which would be happening during the World Cup.

Why Competitive Swimming Could Be Communist (And I’m Not)

July 27, 2010 Stories

Based on the rabbit trails you might be led down from yesterday’s post, I feel that it is important for me to mention that my ideology is not moving in the direction of communism, or even socialism. I am not anti-capitalism. Unbridled capitalism, however, fueled by greed and bottom lines is a dangerous train that’s [...]

But I Am Not Sure I Know How to Speak Up

July 26, 2010 South Africa

Hero Hubs and I live in a nice and safe security complex here in Gordon’s Bay. Most of the people who own property here only use it for a month or so out of the year. Most of the people who do live here all year long probably rent. Like us. You guys have seen [...]

I know it is normally Travelling Tuesday and I normally have some shots to share, but things have been a little busy around here.

In Honour of Madiba, on Nelson Mandela Day

July 18, 2010 South Africa

There are few people that inspire me to tears like Nelson Mandela. Long before my feet called the red dirt of South Africa home, my heart had deep respect and admiration for this most famous South African. A legend in his own time, Madiba took the long walk to freedom and showed the world how [...]

There’s No News Like the Good News and No Word like The Word

July 16, 2010 Stories

It has been really exciting to share the good news about what’s happening in our lives at the moment. (If you missed all this…where ya been?) But I sometimes find at the moments when life feels the most like a whoosh…..swoosh…roller coaster, where everything is tilting around a curve while you’re looking for a new [...]
