February 2023 Newsletter Reprint – Shine Bright Like a Diamond
Read Previous Newsletter Reprints Helloooooooooo, and welcome to my Untamed, Unexpected, Unforgettable World! I’ve just dulled down my camo jeep for you on the outside but the inside is shiny and inviting. My objective on this safari is to avoid attracting animals to the jeep – that could be fatal – so we keep it low-key to absorb as much of the wild animal sanctuary as possible, without being noticed. But on the inside? Well, my jeep is bursting with cool stuff to make you comfortable and give you the most fabulous of safaris. Makes me think of a book. How many glossy covers have I picked up, imagining the perfect…

September 2022 Newsletter Reprint – A Quiet Reflection
Read Previous Newsletter Reprints Helloooooooooo and welcome back to my camo jeep. So good to have you spend a minute or two with me and our imaginations. The camo jeep could double as a magic carpet. We won’t see rooftops, but we’ll get a birds-eye-view of nature’s gift – animals in their own environment. Thank you for this stunning photograph, @beverlyjoubert. Over 30 years, filmmakers and Nat Geo Explorers at Large Beverly and Dereck Joubert have dedicated their lives to halting the decline of big cats in the wild. Thanks to conservation efforts like the Jouberts’, big cat populations have boomed. Our deepest thanks, Jouberts’! And as we watch these…

July 2022 Newsletter Reprint – Age is a State of Mind, not a State of Being
Read Previous Newsletter Reprints Helloooooooooo Again. Always a joy to have you back in my world. Aging has been on my mind since Athol and I recently had birthdays.

So, lean back, relax, and get ready for some au-natural tips to keep you youthful, as we have fun in the sun on our safari! Ahhhh, let’s slow down to watch a herd of elephant. Some forage while youngsters frolic in a mud bath and the rest look on, their expressive, giant…
