I watched this video a while back, back in the days when I still had high-speed internet at my disposal. Marjora Carter, she moved me big time & is a true inspiration for me. How much we are possible to change the world, our world, if we just set our mind on it…

I found these little goodies at the Weleda Pharmacy (Tel 011 445 6142) in Bryanston, next to the Organic Market, & thought I’d give it a try. The damage: R29 for 500gr of organic kamut.
