So we are going to be designing a board game. Or maybe we are still at the stage of that being a question. i honestly can't remember where the idea came from, but suddenly it was there and this morning i met with my friend Ashley Visagie [who incidentally was over at my house with his wife Helene the night before eating homemade pizza and playing board games] to discuss the possibilities. Monopoly is an [...]
For this game, we decided to invite you to get creative in coming up with family-friendly and completely original and imaginative curses... and did you just?

It's Monday, the start of a new week and i want to encourage you to let that thought inspire you. How you feel about Mondays may very well affect the trajectory of your week, so start with your head looking up, filled with optimism for the possibilities that lie ahead and see what happens from there. i jumped on to Facebook early this morning to see a post from my friend Justine Beukes which called [...]
i mentioned that the other night about thirty of us of various ages, genders and races hung out at The Warehouse in Wetton to discuss Economics and Theology. Wayne Eaves chaired a bit of a conversation between Ashley Visagie and Cobus van Wyngaard and then the floor was opened to questions. Here are some things that i learned or found interesting beyond the History isn't over point i spoke about in my previous post: # [...]
Last night i was sitting in a room of about thirty people who were diverse in age, gender and race as we took a couple of hours to look a little more deeply into the concepts of Economics and Theology. One comment that someone made sparked some thinking that i had already been doing - she said something about the fact that we assume that history is finished in the sense that the systems and [...]

i had an exciting conversation with my friend Annie yesterday about an upcoming Deep Dive Dinner we are hoping to organise around Race Conversations. Then last night i chatted with my friend Jess in Durban who recently hosted a follow up dinner to the one we did when we were up there - also exciting stuff. i realise that Deep Dive Dinner Conversations are something i have blogged about quite a bit and so you [...]
i wrote a little bit last week about suddenly being thrust into a world of study as i joined the incredible LUT group to spend the rest of the year diving deeply into Leadership in Urban Transformation. After just four days with the group, i feel like i could already write a ton of blog posts - on the obvious things, but also on some of the kind of side note AHA! moments that happened [...]
Monday mid morning i received a whatsapp message from my wife, tbV: How quickly can you make it to Wynberg by train? The answer, as it turned out, was pretty quickly... within forty five minutes she was picking me up and dropping me at The Warehouse where she offices. Within about another thirty, lunch break was over and i found myself studying as part of the LUT group. i'm not gonna lie, i just had to [...]
