Yesterday marked my 49th birthday, a day imbued with both joy and sorrow. It was the first time I celebrated without the loving presence of my dear mother.
The morning commenced with tears, as her absence tugged at my heartstrings. However, as the day unfolded, my tears gradually subsided, and I found solace in treasured memories of my mother.
Eventually, my day culminated in a radiant smile, thanks to the extraordinary experience I had at Zebra Safaris in Rayton. Meeting these majestic creatures, zebras, who hold a special place in my heart, filled me with profound happiness.
This year, I made a conscious decision to invest in experiences that bring me true joy, realising the importance of indulging in life's pleasures after years of hard work.
Material possessions hold little allure for me; it is encounters like this that enrich my existence. While a week in Spain would undoubtedly be marvelous, I choose to embrace and appreciate what I have in the present moment.
This birthday celebration will forever be etched in my memory. Lila, the owner of Zebra Safaris, went above and beyond to make the day truly exceptional. Engaging with these magnificent zebras nourished my soul, reminding me of the significance of humility and the value of living each day to its fullest.
To all those who reached out to me through various platforms, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Your gestures have bestowed upon me immeasurable blessings and served as a poignant reminder of the privilege it is to embark on another year, surrounded by such remarkable individuals.
Enamored by the zebra, a symbol of resilience and individuality, donning a wide, captivating smile, I found my own emotions mirrored in its expression. This imagery encapsulates the journey I embarked on during this birthday celebration an emotional rollercoaster that commenced with tears and concluded with an effervescent smile. It stands as a gentle reminder to prioritise what truly matters in life and to continually radiate love to those around us.
As I step into this new year of life, I carry within me the lessons of cherishing time, nurturing my own well-being, and embracing the beauty found in life's simple pleasures.
Once again, I extend my deepest gratitude to all who contributed to making my birthday a memorable occasion and filled my heart...
Read moreLila from Zebra Safaris welcomed us with a big smile! We immediately felt welcome and excited for our adventure. She gave us a tour around the farm and told us all about her animals. It was very interesting and informative. The interaction with Nandi and Nyamazan was amazing! They can do a few tricks and they love people. We were given enough information to understand how Zebra's are, they are very well taken care of and the Zebras adores Lila! We celebrated our one year anniversary on her farm and she made it very special for us. Nyamazan can smile and it makes beautiful and fun photos! We had a blast and will be talking about this day for many years to come. This is a well worth it visit and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature, animals, people looking for something different to experience or to celebrate an occasion or date! Thank you Lila, Nandi and Nyamazan for giving us a beautiful life...

Lila even let us see the baby zorse (zebra + horse)....
