What People are Saying:

Your book is on our dinner table.  I think the poignant and beautiful pictures bring life and balance to the book and helps to make it appealing to even the younger generations (like my 13 and 15 year old).  Thank you for your creation.

The book is really incredible.  I just received it and I’ve already been able to read such wonderful concepts, encouragement and wonderful tips for living.

proud of them both. Halala !!

It sits in pride of place on the coffee table for visitors to see. It will not be relegated to the bookshelf!"

My heart finished this book feeling expanded, flowing into my body like a sparkle.  What graciousness you have set in motion with your and Terrence Mtola’s obvious deep love of South Africa.  Your ideas are eternal and yet, as you say, understanding them is a step beyond knowledge.   I was able to embed their importance into my being through your sweet delivery.  I and the World need these truths. They’re timely refreshment.
Kathy Wolstenholme, Founder of Nia South Africa

What a fantastic idea to publish such a book. It is inspiring and should make us think as South Africans. I hope to see many more people walking together as a result of this and other such initiatives

In Biodanza we learn how to integrate our thoughts with our movements, but this is not for everyone. Most people like to study or reflect on life from the quiet meditation of a book - well I have news for them, THIS IS IT!! This book not only makes you reflect on your own life but it guides you through the steps to take!
Most of us need someone to take us by the hand especially when we hit a “stop” in our life! Di, thank you for this gift for all of us, it will be my reference book for ever by my side!
Carolina Churba-Doyle – Founder of Biodanza South Africa

Your book is indeed wonderfully put together: no wonder Tutu was willing to write a foreword for it.  I particularly liked the way of placing your stories, not in some abstract, philosophising about what makes life worthwhile, but in the kind of things that are around us in South Africa all the time - right down to your experience with an ostrich.
 
I wish you well with this book.  It deserves to get a wide reading.
