Getting nostalgic about blogging (& my holiday reads)

by belinda August 25, 2023

I was working on a creative portfolio for myself recently, as a tool to use to grow my client base in Europe.

But I also found it such a useful exercise in reminding myself of all the different writing projects I’ve been involved in over the years. There have been so many great ones. But one of the most formative ones, really where my writing journey first began, was with my first ever blog in 2010. That was a life changing year for me – I gave birth to my daughter and soon afterwards I lost my mother to brain cancer.

Our book launch week

by belinda June 5, 2023

At the end of May I was in South Africa to launch our book ‘Small Business – Big Plans’ – and it was a week that exceeded all expectations. Writers will tell you honestly that they dream of attending their own book launch one day: a chance to see their creation in stores, engage with people about the writing process, and celebrate all the hard work that went into it.

As an entrepreneur, you probably already know the value of digital marketing to optimise your limited budget and resources. But all that information out there can be overwhelming – how do you know where to start, or who to trust?

Travel Alchemy

by belinda August 3, 2021

“Alchemy is defined as the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary, sometimes in a way that cannot be explained.”

Your Dictionary.com

We kept getting our timing wrong in Spain. We woke up too early & tried to do things when everyone was having a siesta. But on our last night in Santander, we veered off the tourist track & stumbled upon a restaurant packed with locals. We were only there because all the places to eat on the popular beach strip were full. We’d been walking for a few hours, exploring the beaches and the Palacio de la Magdalena at the top of the hill, the royal palace dripping with fuchsia bougainvillaea and overlooking dramatic cliffs, with endless ocean views.

Soaking it Up at Gabrielskloof

by belinda September 16, 2020

Sponsored post

Let me tell you a story.

When I was six I was sent from our farm to boarding school in the Eastern Cape. There weren’t a lot of girls in my class, so most of my friends were boys. Every break time we tore around that massive playground playing catches and even though I was pretty fast, I wasn’t a match for some of those boys. But I kept trying. And I have such a specific memory of running through this patch of trees chasing after my friend Grant and feeling this huge well of frustration because I couldn’t catch him – he was too damn fast.

Living While Feminist

by belinda June 19, 2020

Guess what I finally got my hands on today? My author copy of Living While Feminist, the book I have a story in. I’m currently sipping on some bubbles and cradling it in my hands because I’m a published author! Everything was delayed with the publication and printing over lockdown (it was supposed to come out in March 2020), but finally this powerful little book is out in the world and you can buy the ebook here.
