New-look Whiskas Dry Food
This last week I got to attend the unveiling of the fresh new-look Whiskas Dry Food at the official launch in Fourways, Johannesburg. My friend Brent Lindeque, aka “The Good Things Guy” was the purrrr-fect host for such a fun event, and I was taken to tears as we heard about the work that Wollies […]

#ShareYourRare
Rare Diseases South Africa NPO 120-991 is a cause very close to my heart. In case you didn’t know, I have a rare disease called Myasthenia gravis and I also work for RDSA as my full-time job. However, I have other rare talents that you may not know about – my husband and I have […]
Denny Adds Goodness
The weather currently is terribly cold. In fact, earlier this week I woke up and checked my weather app – we had a “real feel” temperature of -11°C. Cuddled in my warm bed, under a blanket with my pups and husband surrounding me, I began to think about those people who weren’t experiencing such luxuries. […]

To the woman at the Gym
About 2 months ago I plucked up the courage to join a gym. I haven’t exercised in over 15 years, & my body has taken huge strain. Having Myasthenia Gravis meant that I couldn’t exercise, as stimulation of the muscles meant that they were weaker overall & it could even affect my lungs & breathing. […]
Catch Me!
“You should set goals beyond your reach so you always have something to live for.”– Ted Turner Life post-transplant has certainly been interesting! I have learnt a lot about myself, as well as others. I have seen where my priorities truly lie, as well as those that would give everything to see me healthy once […]
Bohemian Rhapsody
On Tuesday night, husband & I set off to the Mall of Africa to see the world premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody. Everyone has heard of Queen, & I’m sure has rocked out to their many anthems. Hearing their music evokes so many happy memories, & is constantly the music played at events to get people […]
