<p>my wife, the beautiful Val [tbV], is an incredible writer who does not blog often enough &#8211; i tell he this often and she agrees and one hope i have of this coming 18 months where our work week looks like it should be a lot closer to 30 hours rather than 80 might just give her the opportunity to do so&#8230;</p>
<p>if you have never read her stuff before than you should and especially these two written into the very sensitive context that South Africa finds itself in at the moment&#8230; </p>

<p>you should read and like and share and link to her blog because when she writes it is life-changing society-transforming stuff and the more of you that get connected to her, the more we can encourage her to keep speaking&#8230;</p>
<p>i love you Valerie-Claire Anderson &#8211; keep on cos you are so gifted at this&#8230; </p>
