Crazy me was born in Cape Town, South Africa on 25 December a couple of years ago lol.. okay that "couple of years" ago is just wishful thinking on my part ;) 


Tried my hand at writing just over two years ago, after someone challenged me to give it a go. I still thank James McInerney (Mr. FWI), for being the motivation behind me doing something I never knew could be soooo much fun :)

"Whispers from my Soul & CaMeL RiDe all in one week"
Blog Posted:5/2/2012 1:45:00 PM

 

Hello Everybody!!!


The saying that unplanned things normally work out for the best really became reality!!  I received the author's copy of my book, 


"Whispers from my Soul" 


last week..

The idea of a book never crossed my mind, it was never planned,

in the end I am glad I went through with it!!






Adding to the exciting week I had, I decided to be a tourist in my own country for a change :) Did the whole tourist thing, visited a few wildlife farms, undertook a camel ride and I must say he (the camel) was more in tune with me then any guy ever were lol just kidding.. I had an absolute blast!!! 


Lastly I would like to apologize for being absent from the Soup.. Work is hectic and with all the madness I am attracting these days it does not look like things will ease up quite soon..





love & peace from cool and wintry Cape Town :-)

    Whoopety-whoop-whoop!!! Geez, I'm real proud to be calling you Homegirl. I will not rest until I have a copy of your book in hand. Am I right in assuming your mother tongue is Afrikaans, as is mine? If so, a double whoopety-whoop-whoop for having mastered the English language with such finesse. You have me proud, Homegirl. :)

    Camel Ride looked like fun. Only talent attracts madness, so enjoy it. SouthAfrica is another place I've missed on my travels. Saw part of North Africa from the sea but never docked there. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

    Hi again Missy :D! Wow! A hippo made Prince Harry! By any chance, does he have red hair?! :D And you're very welcome, and it's my pleasure! Like I said, I'm just totally happy for you for what you've accomplished here :D and I see birthday boy has some pretty interesting theories with regards to how you came about ;)

    Hello Chris, it is actually Afrikaans and not Dutch.. See Afrikaans is not that difficult to understand :D Gosh, with your theories we could actually have a new blog about how my existence came about and the similarities etc etc.. Thank you for the laughter this morning when I woke up :)

    Back again, Wilma. Weird, I don't know Dutch, but I almost figured out your reply down there. I just had a revelation. Seeing the camel and your bio simultaneously(ie - born on Dec 25th), made me think about something. Do you heal people just by touch? Have you ever succesfully walked on water? I could be onto something here! If a bunch of Romans show up in the area during your 33rd year....run! Run!

    Imagine me smiling W--i--d--e--l--y right now, Missy ^_^ not only because it looks like you had loads of fun with that camel-- I love how that camel looks ^_^! But also mainly because of you having your own book! I love how it turned out ^_^! Love that tree with the sun peeking through and love your title even more :D! I wish you all the best with your book and who knows? Maybe another book in the works for you? ;) btw, so cool how you became a tourist in your own country-- I have to make more effort in doing that myself :D mwahugs, Missy ^_^!! Catch up with you a bit later!

    Hullo Wilma. A big congratulations on your buch! Right on. The cover of your buch looks great - not too overdone, minimalist and crisp. Nice calm colour too. Hmmmm, so the camel knows how to treat you right, eh? He looks like quite the gentleman.

    Congratulations, Wilma, on your new book! I know you must be very excited to hold a copy of it in your hands. Wonderful Blessings. Sounds like fun with the camel too. It is just starting to warm up over here on the west coast of the US, so sorry to hear your weather is getting chilly. Hugs, Catie :)

    Congratulations on realizing your book. I hope to someday get a book done, too. My experience with camels is a little different, They spit and bite and make me seasick riding them.
