My book was translated and published in The Netherlands and Belgium on June 10, 2020 during the COVID lockdown. I did some interviews virtually from my Los Angeles apartment, and one at an empty hotel with two photographers wearing masks, 6 feet away from me. As I am fluent in Afrikaans, I could converse with them, although they spoke English well.
I have wonderful memories of modeling jobs I’ve done in Amsterdam. So sad that I couldn’t go to the Netherlands or Belgium to promote my book. Those were weird times.

I am so happy my Russian publisher has renewed my current book. Спасибо @BomboraBooks
They were the first country to publish my book on May 25, 2020. This was during the Covid lockdown!!! I didn’t know translators and printing houses were open in other countries. That was a huge and wonderful surprise.
I also did something brave, a photoshoot during Covid in an empty Grand Central and lying down in the street of New York City as there was no traffic 🥺😂😂

A friend of mine said that we should welcome illegal immigrants, so long as they don’t live near her. She’s now a former friend. My mom used to say, you cannot argue with stupid or crazy people. Her quote is in my new book. I still try, but without success.
So sad that many people won’t celebrate their 90th birthday with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, like my mom did.
My parents’s first born slept in an apple box as they couldn’t afford a crib.
When I had my first baby, we were in a small apartment overlooking a garage and couldn’t afford any luxuries like eating out. However I was overjoyed with having an adorable baby. And then two more.
Have children!
