Simply, because I can ...

When we share our emotions, our dreams, our fears, our efforts, our pain, our hopes, and our joys, we open up powerful opportunities for others to learn. Life experience is a master teacher and when we share our experiences, we empower others. Life is too short not to take advantage of all the free resources around us. In this blog, I share what I have experienced in life simply, because I can...

About Me

My photo
Karin Erasmus Steyn
Langebaan, Western Cape, South Africa
I'm a retired high school teacher. I started teaching in 1988 and retired in 2021. The last 12 years were spent teach English for Grades 10, 11, and 12. I've written the following novels:1) Pop-In Jay Pomp (children), 2) Mareijke's Courage (adventure romance), 3) The 6th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill (murder mystery), 4) The Power is Yours (teen motivation), 5) Through the Bark (teen fantasy), 6) Implicitly (adventure romance), and I Think You Know (adventure romance). My motto in life is: You are what you constantly think. I live by these words. A person's thoughts have tremendous power: they can inspire, motivate, encourage, disillusion, and destroy. The art of thinking lies in the power to discern between the good and the bad, and still find a way for a positive attitude. This is the true weapon to success. I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2019, which brought an end to my teaching career. I relocated to the Western Cape in 2022. I love the bushveld where I lived for more than 20 years, but I'm enjoying the change. I'm currently married to Nick Steyn (1988), and we have two children, Jana (1992) and Colin (1997).
