Think you are tired of your phase of reopening from quarantine in the US?
Listen to my guest, Steph, this week on “Voices from My Bunker 2020” speaking to me from her home in Stellenbosch, South Africa, (she grew up in Portland, Oregon) where she and her family are living while her husband finishes his graduate program there at the University.
I spent most of the interview going, “Really?” or “Wow!” She has a way of describing her life as if it was utterly normal and even mentioned that during the lockdown some of the animals from surrounding mountains feel free to emerge in parts of the town now quiet without traffic and crowds. What kind of animals? Leopards. Baboons. And, I thought seeing a fox in my yard was “wildlife”.
At any rate, click on the white arrow in the lower left corner to listen to Steph.
Steph wishes when she watches the US news that everyone realized that we are all in this together not just as separate individuals.
She is much more diplomatic than I am. Much More. In fact, I think she should receive a Ph.D in diplomacy. I “met” Steph after contacting the email for the company, simplepinmedia.com. I had listened to the podcast “Simple Pin Podcast” with Kate Ahl, the founder of Simple Pin and just decided I needed some help in getting started.
Here is the HaDeDa bird she mentions in the podcast. Good lord. Songbird is not how I’d characterize it but it would wake me up from a dead sleep.
