I blog, randomly about the things I observe and the things I learn.
There is a blog around my new learning adventure on my yacht, called Wright Away, or find a category and explore.

So, Just You ? On Your Own ?
So, Just You ? On your own ? Awkward pause with confused look....Where is your Husband ? These were the constant questions as I talked about and then did my second solo 4by trip into the Okavango. The shock was mostly universal (except for a handful of people who know me and even then I got resigned shrugs ). It came from the people I worked with, men and ladies alike. It came from the immigration officials at the border, the policemen who stopped me and the it came from every person I drove past in the bush (well there [...]
Daring to Find Your Extraordinary Self
One of the fundamental characteristics of extraordinary people is the fact that they know, without doubt that they are valuable and they live that uniqueness and value every day - bringing it into what they do even if what they do isn’t there dream or even something they value. So what is this thing called value and how do you get it ? Value is personal yes ? You and I look at a piece of art and I say, ugh and you say, how marvellous – of course that is worth 10 million dollars. We all have our own [...]

My closest friend is going for an op. It isn’t a biggie, in fact it is something she wanted to do, just not now. With the suddenness came the fear. So there she sits, waiting until op day battling to manage her ‘silly’ fear. It struck a cord with me. [...]
Dreams, Dreaming and Reality
I have been putting together my talk for TEDxSoweto (02 November, can’t wait) and some interesting things have come up for me. Dreams are not about world firsts, they are about YOU doing something for the first time which means all dreams are equal because all first are equally intimidating. [...]

How are you Practicing Courage ?
One of the biggest things that gets in the way when I am exploring outside my comfort zone is the very firm ideas I have of how things are! I thought I knew what Courage was – something you are either born with or (in my case), not! Because I [...]
How to Find Your Dare
I wish I could draw you a map, a way to get from where you are to that place where anything is possible. I know it exists because I have been there once or twice, but even I battle to find it when I change the starting point. In diving [...]
How to Get Unstuck
I ask myself this question all the time. When I find myself trapped by life, my choices and my dreams I know I have to start to look at the things I won’t let go of. I know I have to start to face the fear I have been avoiding. [...]
