Mo's African Adventure

It’s hard to believe that it has been over six months since I returned home to Canada from our fabulous introduction to South Africa. Our amazing hosts, Linton and Lisa, made sure that our experience there was magnificent. Their kindness and hospitality went far beyond the usual meet and greet. They shared South Africa with us. We lived it, breathed it, were immersed in it and were overwhelmed by it.

I must admit to having been totally overpowered by that place, those people, that experience. It was truly a life changing event for me as those of you who have lived the last six months with me can attest to. I was totally unprepared for the profound effect that trip would have on me. It was beyond a vacation; it was a journey. Not the kind travelled on a road or a plane, but rather the kind that sets your feet upon a different path in life; that changes your priorities and your perspective on things; that centres you and brings you inner joy. Until you have experienced the energy of Africa it will be hard to explain it to you. It revitalizes you, makes you savor each moment and makes you look at yourself in a different way. It teases you with the promise of hidden secrets and leaves you wanting more. And so … there is no other choice than … to go back!
