"It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience"

I grew up in a Country called Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and when political battles and war began we left and moved to South Africa. We intended to live there for a few years and relocate to UK or Europe. That never happened and family ties kept us in S.A. My two beautiful daughters grew up in S.A. and eventually married and have families. I am blessed, a Mother with two wonderful Sons-in-law and a Granny with 5 beautiful grandchildren. Over shadowed by what has happened in Zimbabwe and the political turmoil in S.A. and the precarious safety issues and having been a victim on a few occasions, and I am alive and unhurt to tell this tale! At this late stage of my life journey two years ago I decided to take the plunge and live in Portugal, a triangle between my two families. After the turmoil of the former years I have found peace, safety and tranquility with people as equally wonderful as my dear friends in Southern Africa. 2019 was a year of settling into my new environment and I joined Mindvalley to help me adjust. It has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. Keeping my vision on track, adapting to a new culture, learning a new language and wanting to absorb the universe offerings. Todays journey begins with Money EQ to which I almost excited about. At the age of 77 one tends to think that one is too old to be productive. I wish to annihilate that notion from my being and continue my journey with joy and "giving" in whatever way I can.
