So it’s been a while since I even opened up my blog, 17 months in fact. If you’ve read my last few posts you’ll see 2018 wasn’t a great one for me. I had high hopes for 2019, Dom and I bannered the year with the word ‘ADVENTURE’, we were ready to embrace life and … More Gratitude in a time of chaos
What are the lies you believe? Do you realize you are even believing a lie? Things you’ve been told about others, your circumstances, what you think of yourself, perhaps it is about your family or your up bringing…. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and relook at things from a different view … More The lies we believe….
Good bye is so final. It can bring pain, closure to a season, freedom to an area of your life. Today, as I sit by the beach, listening to the waves crash on the shore, I am taking time to say goodbye to my Nana Grace. She passed suddenly last week. I wasn’t in a … More Saying goodbye….
As I sat outside recently I realised how ungrateful, thankless and rude I was to my husband a few Christmas ago. My love language is gifts. I love shopping and choosing gifts for people and then giving them with the anticipation of how much joy it will bring them. I used to spend even more … More Ungrateful, thankless and rude…..
So it has been a while since I wrote. From my last post you will see that the situation I have found myself in has been raw, painful and and at times very lonely. I have an amazing husband and wonderful family and friends, but when you deal with grief, you feel like you are … More TRUTH wins…..
As I have entered 2018, with unanswered prayers, with questions for God, with days where I am holding onto miracles and breakthroughs I am believing for by the tips of the tips of my fingers…. God reminds me to hold on a bit longer and a bit tighter and most importantly, that He hasn’t forgotten … More There will be miracles.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well in my world, my dysfunctional, blended family have not been the only ones I choose to embrace as family…. it is an ever growing, multi-dimensional, multi-cultural family I choose. It crosses cities, countries and continents. They are my #friendswhoarefamily I have parents who love … More #friendswhoarefamily
Sometimes my life feels as interesting as this mug. So much going on, but nothing to tell….

Looking at … More Measuring up to a mug….
I think almost everyone at some point feels like their life is in some state of chaos and confusion. At this stage of your life where had you planned to be? Married… with kids…. owning your own business…. working in full time ministry…. traveling…. more friends…. settled…. happy…. You may have different goals and plans … More Peace in the midst of chaos….
There are many. How the ocean can be so calming and yet so fierce and wild. How a heart can love so deeply and then have to experience great loss or tragedy. How each snowflake is unique. How the world seems to be losing common sense daily. How a couple can be desperate to bring a new life into the world and struggles and yet some women just seem to sneeze and they are pregnant even when it’s unplanned. How each person can see the same thing completely differently. How in the midst of pain God can comfort you and bring such peace. How people find gardening relaxing, I really don’t understand that lol. How you can be in a room full of people and feel isolated and alone…. … More The Things I Don’t Understand….
