This morning on the drive to school the girls were playing Cat Stevens. It still amazes me that music can pick you up and whisk you back 23 years to an oh~so~precious yet long~forgotten moment in a single heartbeat. Listening to ‘Morning has broken’ my eyes began to leak and I asked myself: “When does…
Kindness and the art of being blessed.
This past week i have been reflecting on the kindness of others. I have been inundated with snail mail, cooked meals, warm conversations, friendly smiles and my husband even returned home with some wildflowers. My life is immeasurably blessed. And these blessings got me reflecting on the moments that have impacted or changed my life…

Love looks like this
This is my favourite cup. I love it for so many reasons. It was handmade. It’s happy. It was squeezed in the middle before it was fired so it feels just right in your hand. It’s the perfect size. I never finish a full cup of tea in any other mug. It fits conveniently inside…
Letting Love In…
For as long as I can remember i’ve been in love with love. I’ve searched and questioned and yearned and wanted to understand it since I was a tiny girl. When I was four I came to the understanding that as you grew, if you let it, love would turn you into a big warm…
A lifetime is never enough
This was the first sunrise in over 80 years that my Aunty jean wasn’t here for. She passed last night with the full moon. Her way was strong and clear and kind. She spoke her mind, she helped whoever was in front of her and she had an unshakable faith in Christ. Her Christianity wasn’t…
A window through time…
Sitting in a cafe today I had one of those time standing still moments. As I sat with my husband and youngest daughter I glanced across the room to see a gorgeous young woman enter and greet two of her cherished friends. You could tell straight away these three women loved each other and it…
This I know to be Truth.
When I was a child kids would often tease me saying: Who do you think you are? You walk like you are someone special. You talk like you are someone special. Who made you queen? It was hard because alongside their accusations I had my own ‘what is the meaning of life thing’ going on.…
Scary successful shiny spiritual women who appear to have it all…
You know what, I’m surrounded by divine women. Wise, beautiful, courageous, spiritual divine women. Powerful and strong women that bring profound goodness to this world every single day. And you know what else, some days that scares the pants off me. My inner Tourettes gets so out of control I paralyse myself. I get to…
My love and honesty scare me, here’s a window to my past anyway xo
Some people you are going to love forever. Maybe it’s all people, I don’t know I’m not very experienced. I just know that the men I’ve loved still live in my heart every day whether I acknowledge them or not. I just awoke from a dream. It was a dream of my first husband, sobbing,…
