Dear friend,
"If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." Henry Ford
This year is almost at an end.
It was a year of challenges, new
experiences, and a deepening of my faith. Through it, I had discovered that I
am stronger and more resilient than believed. I don’t think we appreciate that
fact enough about ourselves.
Being resilient teaches us to endure
with the goal in mind. To stay on course even when the ship is bounced around
with raging winds against us and strong currents that threaten to pull us
underneath the surface. Thank God for the anchor of hope that keeps us upright.
I've learned to look at the bigger
picture than what I'm seeing right now. Once our eyes are fixed on the goal, no
judgment or condemnation can touch us. Through my creativity, I have learned to
be ignorant of the impossibilities and open for the changes it brings.
The year was filled with small
surprises and wonders that became a beacon of hope. My pen (keyboard)
diligently writing as more words are strung together. To complete stories,
articles, and short stories for my blog and groups I belong to.
Through collaboration, I could add
six more books to my growing list. I am extremely grateful for each of these
blessings. I am humbled and deeply touched by each book that was published.
Skakels van ‘n Ketting 1 & 2 are devotional books by Driekie Grobler. Kloof
and ‘n Tiekie Romantiek are short stories and poems by Myra Lochner. Ink in
Afrikaans is a short story bundle, and the sixth book is My Gebed vir ‘n Boer.
All written in my native tongue.
My Gebed vir ‘n Boer Boek Twee can be
ordered at Ns. Skrywershuis. It is a charity
project for the families of murdered farmers in South Africa. A lot of work has
been done to bring this to publication by Nico Schamrel. Anneline Kriel is the
patron of this project. She was Ms Universe in 1974 and very active. A
beautiful woman, strong and vigilant that we are all proud of.
Another wonder that happened was the
reading of my short story, Verlore Gisters by Floris van Zyl on Die Waarheid
online radio. It was written during a mini competition, Skryf jou Storie
Facebook group.
To those on my list, if you are an
Afrikaans speaking person, no matter where you live in this world, you can
enter the competition here: Die Grootste Skryf Kompetisie. If you know an Afrikaans
speaking person, share the link with them.
In this year I also began a new
Facebook group: The KreativPreneur Club and I want to
invite you to join. It is a holistic platform created for creatives to
encourage and support one another.
I trust that 2022 was a good year for
you and that your faith and hope have grown.
I want to bless you with part one of
my book, Love at War, which you can download here:
Author’s Lead Magnet and the Introduction
to Release Your
Creativity.
Part of The KreativPreneur brand is
to begin a new business and create new products. I have partnered with my
daughter Odette and am excited about the new venture.
This was birthed when I was looking for a wedding gift for dear friends. I wanted it to be something exclusive and created the couple's journal. The rest was about making it workable, the step my daughter fulfills perfectly.
A great thank you to her for always
supporting me in all I do.
The Couples Journal, complete with
flash cards for the newlyweds.
Each book is individually made and
available in Afrikaans or English.
There are 52 x Flashcards in a
separate box made from MDF wood.
The one in the picture is an A4
Landscape journal with 300 Pages, but it can be altered to fewer pages to
accommodate your requirements or resized to an A5 book.
It is printed on personalised paper
for an added touch with enough space to add pictures of the couple’s journey.

if you are interested in such a gift for a couple or for yourself.
