My ouma (grandmother) helped establish this private nature reserve in the 1960s. This is where I grew up in South Africa.

This is my favorite place on earth and I hope these images of our home in the bush helps you understand why. 🌿🌿🌿

Our family has been here since 1662.

Big thanks to the Daily Inter Lake for this feature! 🔥 It’s fun to be described as a woman with a “knife at her waist, wide-brimmed hat and green henley…” I hope to present at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Kalispell again soon.

Acknowledging all students who get out of bed… especially those who do it early Friday mornings for Ashtanga (full) Led Primary Series… This moving mediation happens every Friday from 7-8:30am at Hot House Yoga in downtown Missoula, Montana. Jai! 🔥
