Finally, a more calm and peaceful week after the hectic start to the year!

Such a strange and uneasy time. the weather is not what were used to, the bookings and schedule is not what were used to.

The big question is: May we be thankful for a quiet period or should we feel scared or afraid of the unknown in the market forces? It is a difficult time to be in the North West. After the Marikana year, with each and every potential tourist in the universe thinking they will be executed if they would be brave enough to be travelling the N4....and now we are staring an economic collapse squarely in the face!

We were praying for rain for so long, how do we get ourselves to start to pray for it to stop? Nobody knows what to say if we see each other in the streets, we meet and greet and go our ways and keep doing our things. Lets hope for bright sunshine next week, no strikes, full rooms and beds, lots to talk about!

I came about a quote of a scientist Neils Bohr 1885-1962 : 'The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth'.

This made me think. I am not always right, there are many ways to kill a cat, I should perhaps listen more, I should step back some time and look at the bigger picture! So, if it is a quiet week…. You’ll find me looking and thinking, finding truth and stepping back, not worrying or stressing!

 

Have a great week! Alna
