I never imagined what peace would look like at 60.
In 80 days I turn 60. Three years into early retirement, I am living the freedom to be fully myself, equally at home on the farm and in the fastest cities, among mathematics education scholars and among farmers, as a grandmother who is rested, sufficient, and unhurried.
Awards and a presidential order have their place. Nothing surpasses the quiet I carry into this next decade.
This is the season I prayed for.

@Kamo_ndamese My school principal said to that lady, please quickly go home and dress properly, this is not proper. The lady took the advice and never done it again
The colleague once warned that if I led by principle, opposing sides would one day unite to oust me, and I would have to “eat my principles.”
He was right. Today I am eating them and they taste remarkably good.
I sleep peacefully. I am off the depression & anxiety medication. I choose what I do, who I work with, where and when. Things have worked out.
I remain grateful to God for the strength and the boldness. Principles may exact a price, but they also deliver a freedom that politics never can.

Back on the African continent and loving it.
This is home.
Despite the challenges, Africa offers opportunity and hope. Here I feel at peace - no need to explain my existence, passion or purpose.
Our challenges are ours to solve. I appreciate the space I operate in, where the daily work is to explore possible solutions.

@SAPoliceService I'm emotionally right now,what a year. I have been wondering why white people are treated so bad at saps, especially on promotions,but when PC Mkhwanazi raise a concern about that,my hope was revived
@eliotchauke1 He can't even differentiate between recommendations and appointment,if there is a problem with appointment of someone, Human resources is directly responsible for the error,and that is labour dispute matter,if raised by other candidates,not criminal issue
@eliotchauke1 I doubt, that would be the interference in justice system,not even Chief Justice can do that, remember his recommendation goes to the president.
@AddHopeOfficial I asked one lady at KFC, where do you guys feed these children,she had no idea,I said,I'll keep my R2 until I see a sponsorship board of KFC in one of charity building
