I've been back at Pangani for a week-and-a-half and it's been great! Cape Town was a superb experience, although I was only able to hook up with the apprentices twice. Seeing my sister Lyndi (and her fiance - my future brother-in-law - Andre) ahead of her wedding there in October was fantastic - and she let me sleep on her living room floor - thanks Lynd! I was doing a training course - NLP Master Practitioner through AHT - and managed to learn lots of things about myself which has some life-changing consequences.

One of them is that I'm awake at 7am today processing my tasks and getting ready for the day. I think all of the NC people (especially Amanda!) are kinda amazed at this new development - none more than me! Turns out I had the following beliefs:

• You're not allowed to enjoy what you do


• Nothing is worth getting out of bed in the morning for

Changing these has been fun! I find myself more at peace and more able to engage with community and relationships. Hooray!

We're in the middle of a process called Life Compass where we're figuring out the important things in our lives and what we want to do with them. It's been good so far: last week I realised that although I do technology stuff really well, I don't like the process - only the result (I get to build cool stuff). Yet this is what I've spent the last 5 years doing - and it's an energy drainer!

So I look forward to finding out what I come up with as a better way of doing life...
