About Enabling the How
Our call to action at 5th Place is to focus on developing emotional fitness and mental well-being in order to create positive change in the world. Join us, Chantal and Matthew, co-owners of 5th Place, in our escapades every week as we stumble and trip, dance and whirl our way through very normal and not so normal weeks in their drive to make the world a better place. This “How” comes in many different forms and in this case it comes in the form of sharing life, loves, and loss. It’s also a whole lot of what living is like in South Africa.

Going backwards to go forwards
An auspicious week commemorating two important events that took place on the same date. Presenting our work in a space that inspired us to develop it, then driving a different way home for a new perspective.
Just show up
The first month of the year down and a question around how things are going. If you have not been able to stick to those resolutions, don’t worry you are not alone. We look at the first step to making any change stick.
Out damned spot
An unwelcome spot on the wall heralded a protracted and expensive process to correct what was not done right the first time. This lead to thoughts on what it takes to do it right and well from the beginning.
Pizza imperfect
Pizza making from scratch teaches some valuable lessons about appreciating real, honest food and the time, effort and energy it takes to get it to the table.
Unpacking a puzzle
We are back. After a relaxing retreat at home doing holiday type things the new year opened up to much the same, but not “just” the same. Puzzling and puzzles frames the theme for the entry into 2023.
