I was listening to Dr Wayne Dyer on Hayhouse Radio talk about being at home wherever you are. It reminds me of the article I wrote for Global Connection on homesickness.

Moving is on my mind as in 3 months I will be back in the Netherlands, leaving London. I like to say that I am a child of the world, seeing that I have not been in South Africa (my home) for so many years. I have learned to settle in really well from day 1 in any new country. My stay in London feels so much like home that it is a challenge to accept the idea of moving. I will feel at home in London right until  my last day here.

And the next day, I will already feel at home in the Netherlands.

Feeling at home somewhere is not only about being comfortable in a physical location or physical context. I have realised the need for me to redefine what it means to “be at home”. To be at home to me means to be “at one”. To be comfortable in my body that is home to my spirit and to be comfortable in “spirit”. When I am comfortable in my body that is my home and feel really at ease and able to replenish myself in my “spirit”, it doesn’t matter where I am physically or who I am with.

To me, home is a place where I can relax, I can feel safe, I can center my soul, I can replenish myself and so much more. “home” when defined in this way is so much more invigorating, satisfying and all-embracing.

I have created a tarot deck called Tarot of Experience.

The deck is available as an oracle of 22 cards and a blank card. As a tarot deck, it includes the minor arcana, in this case with 40 suite cards and 20 court cards.

I am posting a guide book and blog entries for the cards on my other websites and blogs. Watch this space for links.

I just updated a knol I published yesterday on Q&A - a Coaching Framework.

This article could also be called Coach Yourself with the Questions you want to have answered. … or something along those lines.

Being into the Law of Attraction, it could be Ask to Receive. When one asks a question, one sets an intention to allow what is asked for, into ones reality. The asking is the receiving. The focus of attention through asking, is also the focus of consciousness to receive.

I’ve added the dimension of LFAQ = less frequently asked questions

I’ve never written about my work as a creativity and transition coach in this weblog.

My days are filled with workshops, coaching sessions, reading, research, conferences, seminars, networking, writing “Passion to Performance” which you would have read about in the Global Connection magazine…

I patented my system called OATS which is a framework for coaching, goal management, brainstorming, creative thinking and much more.

Recently, I’ve published many knols (units of knowledge on google) on topics related to goal setting, success, Law of Attraction, and much much more.

My latest addition is Twitter - find me as “amentalist” and “acre8tive”. I play lots of word games inspired by DeBono the creativity guru. I follow other twitterers like Donald Trump and Larry King. Of course everyone seems to follow Ellen Degeneres and Oprah - so do I!!!

“Love Cows” , 105cm x 105cm

My inspiration came from cow paintings I saw by the artist Diem (also inspired by the Cobra artists), collectors demand and of course my earlier works in the Wild At Art and Tulip series.

this is a reconstitution of the painting “CowGirl and CowBoy” together with two “Field of Tulip” paintings. This construction represents an idea for a painting that combines these works on one canvas. A reminder, the tulips now have their own series called “Tulips”, which evolved from the Wild At Art Series.

Due to great demand, I did a cow painting in the Wild At Art Series. It rests very harmoniously within this series so I am satisfied with the results. When the cow paintings increase in number, they will form their own series called “Cownival”.

A three week solo exhibition featuring works from the Tulips series, Still Life series and an additional exhibition space with work from Wild at Art as well as Rhythmic Compositions.

I will be present for the entire duration of the exhibition and look forward to seeing you there. So please come over to 77 Kensington Church Street just off the Kensington High Street (tube). Paintings vary in size and are executed in acrylic on canvas.

Where: Gallery 77

Times: Mon. - Thurs. from 11am to 6pm.

As usual, my studio  around the corner (Hyde Park Gate) remains open by appointment.

 An exhibition of abstract works (acrylic on canvas) with exciting textures and collage accentuated by gold leaf. Works range in size from 30 x 40 cm to 120 x 100 cm.

Many works executed in September/October 2008. Additional abstracts on paper also available and I am currently willing to take on commissions.

You can now view my profile, resume, biography, portfolio and a very user-friendly gallery of my artwork, featuring the C8- Rhythmic Composition series created in 2008. Other series will be posted in the near future.
