Dis toe dat dit tot my deurgedring het dat daar tog engele in ons midde is. Hulle lyk dalk net nie soos ons ons voorgestel het nie. Want ons wil mos die Hollywood-fliek hê! Dink maar aan glansryke engele soos Warren Beatty in Heaven can wait, Nicolas Cage in City of Angels en Meryl Streep in Angels in America.

Hello all!
I have been getting so much positive feedback about BitterSweet / BitterSoet  from across the country. I thank you for passing on the spirit of the book.
Am up to my eyeballs at present with trying to get my son’s party ready!  He has chosen to have a WWE smackdown party much to my horror!

WOW!  Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!  Buy- a - Donkey! Buy -a -Donkey! Buy- a Donkey! (this is what Asjas West’s VERY British neighbour says in thanks , because he knows NO Afrikaans whatsoever!!!)
Your comments are so uplifting…they inspire me …touch me… and make me giggle….

I have received so many queries on this website (I am working at facillitating  answers to as many as I can) but one of the questions has been about the dress I am wearing on the cover of the book.
It is indeed beautiful and was designed and made by a very talented lady in Pretoria called …

Hey all
Was so cool to see  the faces behind the names, when I met some of you at the book signing at Clearwater Mall.  Also …  I so enjoy it when you guys send me your soap opera names!
When I read the blog entries I realise how many people are looking for answers  within marriages and/or break ups.  I have a great list of reading material surrounding these subjects and urge people to  take steps to be pro active.  So for those within a marriage who are wanting to try …
