I’ve posted a comment on http://www.facebook.com/groups/fgwgauteng/ (fgw… stands for Farming God’s Way) pointing them to your work. Don’t know if you can view the page, but get yourself invited – and take it from there.
Thank you Colleen, I’ll be right over. Can’t wait to see all that you have been doing. As I said, I’m very glad to have found your blog. You DO need to write a book. You are doing really important work and living your life to the fullest.
I don’t want to burden you with too many emails/comments, but just to let you know I’ve asked our local The Star newspaper to publish your article re: reduction of crime. Our crime stats are so way over the top in South Africa that we wonder if it will ever come right. There are folk doing a lot of good work. But I thought, If those who read your article could adopt a similar program it would be so! awesome. We really need to encourage one another – as you say (to kindness) – to bring about change where we can. Even right outside our front gate if that’s all we can manage. Keep going!
Re: your comments about the blogs. I’m quite overwhelmed actually. I had no idea anyone would be interested.
