Well here I am back on my blog about all thinks related to the book Dharmalan Dana. It's seems pretty surreal to now be heading to Mauritius this week to complete the journey, with our book launch, being very kindly put on by the Australian High Commission there.
But I go with some trepidation, leaving dad at this point in life is very difficult, but I must just have faith that he is okay and go ahead to complete this journey for him, the Ancestors, and of course myself.
I invite a handful of friends and family to come along on this trip, via this blog, to hear about the adventures. Hope you enjoy.
Love yas
