    S2 E27: IF MUSIC BE THE FOOD OF LOVE

    Shakespeare wrote in 12th Night: If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south, That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more: 'Tis not so sweet now as it was before. O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou, That, notwithstanding thy capacity 1Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there, Of what validity and pitch soe'er, But falls into abatement and low price, Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy That it alone is high fantastical. Say no more! Have a lekker na-week everybody! Rehann & Theart

  26. 82

    S2 E26: MALE FEMALE POWER DYNAMIC

    Since the dawn of time there have been males and females (mostly). We know that both have a purpose and place in the Universe, along with all others. How they relate, how we have been instructed by "holy books", "philosophers", "psycologists", "gurus", "celebrities". "governments" and even "sexperts" that men and women must and should behave, is at times shocking, disturbing and even enlightening. We scratch the delicate surface, unpack and go on a wild goose and gander chace. Enjoy! Lekke' naweek everyone! Rehann & Theart

  27. 81

    S2 E25: PATRIOTISM & SELF-ACTUALISATION

  30. 78

    S2 E22: TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY

    Do or don't. One cannot run away from it. It will catch up to you. Sooner or later. Gooooooo BOKKE! Lekke' week-end everybody! Rehann & Theart

  31. 77

    S2 E21 : AGING WITH GRACE

    All things die. All things. Nothing, NOTHING is forever. How we age can determine how we leave this place. MAKE. BETTER. CHOICES. Happy Friday EVERYONE! Rehaan & Theart

  32. 76

    S2 E20: WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU SEND?

    When you interact with people you are sending a message. WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU SEND? Look at the change in messaging of the Democreats in the USA since they changed their nominee for POTUS and with the announcement of the new VP. Light has enetered the room. Happy Friday everyone! May it be a good week-end! Rehaan & Theart

  33. 75

    S2 E19: I AM JUST DOING MY JOB!

    The common answer you get from many people when things go wrong or they are challenged is, "but I was just doing my job." Governments, politician, call centre agents, police, and many other organisations seem to function like this. What happened to questioning and trying to get the right answer or give the correct relevant feedback? It's all just too easy do dicewrt responsibility. Happy Friday Everybody! Rehaan and Theart

  34. 74

    S2E18: SOCIAL MEDIA

    It is the new way of things underpinning the old ways. Together, a new way of reaching the consumer is now the only way. Pivot. Always. Rehaan & Theart

  35. 73

    S2E17: PIVOT

    The world of work is moving at the speed of light. You can either be left behind, or you can pivot. Pivot people, PIVOT! Happy Friday everybody! Rehaan & Theart

  36. 72

    S2E16: F*CK! NOW WHAT?

    After everything it seems the games are afoot in the now questionable "GNU". South African Politicians just can't get to grips with power sharing. Don't even get us started on ACCOUNTABILITY! Uhg! Wimbledon finals this week end. Happy Friday EVERYBODY! Rehaan and Theart

  37. 71

    S2E15: FLOW AND BEING IN IT

    Flow is essential to al things! Once you tap into it, all things become possible. It becomes the way of things. Flood gates open. Life makes sense. This is when the fun starts. Lekker na-week everybody! Rehaan and Theart

  38. 70

    S2E14: HOLDING ON OR LETTING GO

    We take on so much in one lifetime. We are given so many inputs, instructions by so many people that it becomes hard to know what to hold on to and what to let go. Have a lekke' week-end everybody! Rehann & Theart

  39. 69

    S2E13: ALL IN A DAY - CALLING THEM OUT

    We have a Government of National Unity. Time to call out all the corrupt, violent back stabbers. They need to go now.

Lekker naweek everybody! Awê! Rehaan & Theart

  40. 68

    S2E12: MONEY FOR JAM

    ABBA sang, "Money Money Money"; Pink Floyd wrote a song called "Money" and Zorba the greek sang, "If I were a rich man". If you listen to the words they don't seem uplifting and positive.

  43. 65

    S2E10.4: MUSIC

    "If music be the food of love, pay on." - is the first line of William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, spoken by Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, in Act 1, Scene 1. Music is intrinsic to the human experience. Happy Thursday. 6 days to elections. Awê. Rehaan & Theart

  44. 64

    S2E10.3: GRATITUDE

    S2E9: T IS FOR TRUTH

    The Truth these days, seems to be illusive. Only your opinion. An alternative fact! What is it? Is there such a thing as an "absolute truth". If we experience truth, can we still recognise it? 12 days to South African General Elections 2024! Lekker na-week everybody! Awê! Rehann & Theart

  48. 60
