What an incredibly blessed night I had last night! Thank you so much to everyone who braved the wild weather and came out into the night to give me support at my exhibition “Makhelwane (My neigbour)”. It meant the world to me.
After spending two years with my Eastern
Cape neigbours, apart from my family and friends that was an indescribable
experience to have so many of you there together in one room. I wished I could instantly clone myself
and spend the whole evening with each one of you individually but it was also a
dream come true to have so many friends from different walks and times of my
life together and meeting each other.
My cup overflowed with love and blessedness!
And those of you that weren’t able to make it I felt you
there too in spirit and it means so much to me to know you were thinking of me
and wishing me well. I trust
that we will get together soon.
I want to give a big thank you to Nicoletta
and her family and the Associazione Piemontesi who sponsored this event and for
giving me this wonderful opportunity to showcase my work at this time and turning it into one of the most special evenings of my life.
Thank you for all your hard work of the
past months and weeks, putting this together, from getting everything printed
and mounted, (sorting out the bubbles and what more!), to presenting my work in
such an original and uplifting way, I absolutely loved the Pilchards and Peanut
butter idea, it was so close to home and such a true reflection of the
unpretentious lives led by my “Makhelwane”! And thank you for all the finer details, wine and lovely snacks! Well done!!!
Thanks Ian, you are the best wine pourer and
multi-task man to have as a friend!! Una, you are an angel..x
I want to give thanks, praise and glory to
my God of love, the great orchestrator, for leading me in His way, opening
doors for me, protecting me always, working His love through me and blessing me
with so much love. I can always
hold on to Your word.
“For I consider that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed
in us.” Romans 8:18
