Living here in North America - I have been Americanized. When I go back home now, there are things that I have far less tolerance for in South Africa. We've come such a long way in terms of race relations and the economy as well as people's willingness to move on. There are still a lot of things that are frustrating about being in South Africa.

The quiet of the morning offers a perfect time to do a meditation and yoga practice. It also allows time to be creative or to contemplate before the business of the day.

I read that when cats are cuddling and kneading you, and you think it's cute, they're really just checking your vitals for weak spots.

Candice is the original spelling of my name. I changed it to Kandyse when I was really young and first starting out in the business as kind of a joke. I didnt realize it would stick! I did consider changing it, but then it seemed too confusing, so then I asked them to change it back. Not too soon, however!

I'm always preparing for a regular life.

Take a leap of faith. You will either land somewhere new or learn to fly.

I find that if I've taken care of myself first, I can then be there fully for everyone else.
