One of my favourite quotes:
“You cannot stay on the summit forever: you have to come down again….so why bother in the first place? Just this: what is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art in conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can still at least know.”
Rene Daumel

“My university team and I were involved in charity fundraising for Wesley Mission Victoria. We had the privilege of having Ms Horne come and speak at our charity breakfast. Her address was extremely well received and was thoroughly illuminating in regards to all the challenges Cherie has faced and all the adventures she has had both at home and abroad.
Allied with a fascinating AV presentation, I am sure I can speak for everybody present when I say that we all gained a lot from the experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cherie as a speaker, and found her to be a bubbly, friendly personality as well. Thank you so much Cherie”!
