“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” – Wayne Dyer. Today we gained two new wonderful companions on this tour, a lovely lady from Australia and another from Switzerland. They seem like an excellent fit already. Oh the…
Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.~Victoria Holt My fellow travelers and I set out mid-morning toward Victoria Falls National Park, a 15-minute walk from our accommodations at Shearwater Explorers Village. At the main street we turned toward the park and were joined by a Zimbabwean man named Excellent who…
One thing I expected to see more in Africa was woodwork and wooden art, like masks and sculptures. I’ve seen virtually none of that until our night in Nata, Botswana and they had wooden African art and metal sculptures throughout the campus. Here in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, being the tourist destination that it is, said…
I’ve struggled to write this post. Not because I’m not having fun. But because I am doing a lot of spiritual work, having awakenings almost daily, and am trying to find balance between sharing the physical experiences of my journey with weaving in the spiritual experience.

The lodge offered a small…
