Letting Love In

Written By Alison Weihe

What a journey we have walked, from when I met you and married you 32 years ago. Our life has become a deepening love story of family, of creativity, of design.

I build with words and you build with beautiful spaces. You are the most romantic man I have ever met. That's what I fell in love with. Your stories of Africa, of working in Uganda, Pakistan and in Europe. Your travels across Africa, from England to Kenya.

You healed my life on so many levels. You gave me a family when I had lost hope of ever finding a soulmate. You appeared in my life after I had been very serious as an activist and journalist. You brought lightness into my world. You brough fun. You brought Belonging.

We complement one another on so many levels. Our love of family, of nature, of animals, of travelling. You build, I decorate and landscape. You build factories, and homes and products. Together we build relationships and tribes, deep friendships formed over years. We both have such a passion for growing people. We both have such a passion for making a difference in humble ways.

You have been my greatest gift, the greatest father, the greatest husband and a friend to so many in your quiet, selfless spirit of serving.

Thank you for 32 extraordinary years.

Thank you for choosing me.

Growing up as a young woman in Apartheid South Africa Alison became a political activist for almost twenty years, working under many remarkable leaders of that time including the current South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The leaders of that time were pivotal in shaping her mission to live a life of contribution.

Alison went on to become a multi-award-winning serial entrepreneur, transformational coach, and philanthropist passionate about bridging economic, social, and cultural divides.

However, it would take Alison sixty years to have the courage to tell her story. Today, she is a champion of Identity Intelligence, Belonging and Conscious Leadership.

In her book “Belonging,” she unravels her once-overlooked story. Her pivotal awakening to make a difference in the Anti-Apartheid movement. The journey of building a company from a shed on a field to an award-winning company with 150 employees, winning numerous awards, being featured on television, radio, and in entrepreneur magazines. Her transformative personal growth, overcoming many life and mental health challenges, is narrated through profound storytelling.

Now, as an award-winning speaker and author, she shares her story to inspire others throughout the world, that it is never too late to step into the power of who you were truly meant to be.
