Guided by Her Spirit

"After every major incident in my life, I would find myself saying, 'I could write a book.'"

"I grew up in the presence of strong women whose resilience left me in awe. Their hardships, and the grace with which they navigated them, were nothing short of inspiring. My maternal grandmother possessed an extraordinary gift — she had a way of speaking things into existence, and her words often manifested in ways that seemed almost otherworldly."

"A dedicated teacher who rose to become a respected school principal, she left an indelible mark on the education sector in and around KZN. My mother was a woman of remarkable strength and tenacity, often described as possessing a 'male aura' due to her fearless and commanding presence."

"But as they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Now, I see just how much of her life is in me."

"My journey through grief has taken me back to something I've carried since childhood: an insatiable curiosity about other dimensions, about where we come from and how we navigate our place in this world. This curiosity, I now realise, may have been an early sign of my ability to bridge the spiritual and physical realms."

"I am no expert, but documenting this journey is my way of reaching out to others who may be walking a similar path. It's a reminder that they are not alone — and that within the uniqueness of every experience, there is comfort: you are perfectly normal, just as you are."
